Scouting Report
Analyst's Take
Relentless carrier and defensive anchor

Across 59 matches, Valetini's workload tells a clear story — he is a high-volume contributor on both sides of the ball, consistently racking up carries and tackles that point to a player trusted to do the hard work through the middle. His per-match averages of over eight carries and more than six tackles reflect a demanding, all-phase role rather than a specialist function. His peak outputs — 22 carries and 17 tackles in a single match — show he has the engine to absorb an even heavier load when the game demands it.
