If you want a defender whose floor comes from sheer availability, Vallci is about as ironclad as they come; he is a STARTER effectively nailed to the Starting XI, with 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks and averaging 90 minutes per game. That continuity brings a real upside too, he has averaged 0.20 goals per match over the last five and plays in a side carrying a team form index of 86.67, which helps explain the Sorare Edge projection of 82.5 points. Against WSG Tirol away he profiles as a dependable start with a high floor from minutes and team form and a modest ceiling tied to scoring bursts, though model confidence is medium so treat the upside as probable rather than certain.
