The six face stats at a glance.
Matteo Ricci is a holding midfielder at Sampdoria, rated 67 overall in FC 26, CDM. By the standards of the role, that's weak. At 31 they're a present-day asset: proven level and leadership for the dressing room.

Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Their job is the dirty work: win the ball back, cover the full-backs when they push on and hold their position. They can also play CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Deep-Lying playmaker, which reinforce that profile. Technically, both feet are equally good (5★ weak foot).
Their weapons: stamina (76) and tackling (67). Their stamina is competent and it's the trait to build their game around.
Their weak points: strength (52) and slide tackling (59). Things to keep in mind when building the team around them.
Their market price sits around 856 K€, with 2 K€ in wages. Worth it as a one-season stopgap; don't expect to resell high. And with a contract until 2026, you have leverage to bring the price down.
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play CM.
They're already at their ceiling (67): at their age the rating won't rise.
Their market value is around 856 K€, with 2 K€ wages.
