Scout report

Experienced headDefensive midfielder

S. Vecchia is a 31-year-old defensive midfielder at Malmo FF, rated 11.5 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (5.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.55 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Vecchia.

On the season, Vecchia graded 1 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.553 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 2 → 1). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12. At 31 Vecchia is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Vecchia missed 14 games through injury (back) out of roughly 30 this season. The 7 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 7 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 5.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 11.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
