Franco Cervi operates as a left midfielder for Celta Vigo in La Liga, and at 29 years old, he may be considered as an experienced player. One particular strength that sets Cervi apart among his colleagues is his progressive passing prowess. Ranked among the top 14% in his peer group (86% percentile), his incisive distributions have the potential to unlock stubborn defences and prompt attacking transitions. His performance in assist metrics (66.67% percentile) and expected assists (xA) per 90 (72.92% percentile) further confirms his effectiveness in producing final-third opportunities for his teammates. His pass accuracy is also commendable at 89.58%. However, concerns lie in Cervi's apparent struggle regarding ball possession and retention, accounting for an underwhelming percentile rank of 16% for ball retention. He falls into the bottom 20% of his peers in goal threat and progressive carrying. With a goal efficiency of only 39% and a disappointing xG per 90 (expected goals) ratings at a lowly 8.33%, Franco is clearly not piercing the net as much as desired. His rate of successful dribbles per 90 is a mere 2.08%, indicating room for improvement in confrontational situations. Given these metrics, Cervi is a competent playmaker distributing the ball progressively and accurately. Simultaneously, he could improve on ball retention and his goal threat. His low percentile on dispossession per 90 (4.17%) implies quality decision-making in possession and requires balancing with direct offensive contributions.
