Across 9 matches, Benvenuti's output is defined far more by his defensive workload than his involvement in attack, averaging close to 4 tackles per game for a wide player. His carrying numbers are modest — rarely featuring as a primary ball-carrier — yet his peak of 10 tackles and 8 carries in a single match shows he can step up when the game demands more from him. The picture is of a wing used primarily to shore up the defensive line rather than to ignite it.
