Output in context · Sampdoria finished 13th of 20 · a mid-table side
4.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Ceiling. High potential at just 18 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 45.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 63.3, Palma carries the 9th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie B of 75 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
