Clean sheets

2.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 74.9, Ricci carries the 11th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A (top 17%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
