Stefano Sabelli

Stefano Sabelli is Genoa's Silver Engine. A true veteran of the Italian game, the 33-year-old has spent over a decade anchoring backlines across the country's top divisions. He brings a level of seasoned experience that is hard to replace, having become a fixture in the Genoa defensive setup since joining the club in 2021.

Sabelli is currently operating as a high-workrate Engine, though he is currently searching for rhythm after a few quiet outings. With 8 appearances and over 370 minutes played, his defensive contribution remains his primary calling card. He has already secured the WALL badge, backed by a massive 74% duels won rate that highlights his physical dominance. His Defense dimension is his greatest asset, sitting nearly at the top of our scale for reliability. Even if the attacking returns are not flooding in, his ability to shut down the flank and earn the SHIELD badge through crucial blocks proves his worth to the tactical setup. He maintains a consistent level of output that rewards the manager's trust.

With a stable market value of €1M, Sabelli remains a vital piece of the defensive puzzle. The Stakes are high for a player of his age to maintain this level of physical Intensity, but his defensive consistency suggests he is far from finished at this level.
