Scouting Verdict
Giuliano Cerato is a 27-year-old Argentine/Italian right-back at Instituto ACC. His Fotmob data reveals an unusually attacking fullback — 90th percentile in shot attempts and 82nd percentile in goals among fullbacks, paired with 84th percentile defensive contributions[reference:0]. This is a two-way fullback with genuine end-product threat.
CRS (Clutch Response) is partially validated at 8.7 from one observed event — a decisive defensive intervention in a high-stakes moment. This aligns with his statistical profile of above-average defensive contributions.
He holds an Italian passport, making him EU-eligible — a significant advantage for European club recruitment. His contract runs to December 2027, giving Instituto strong negotiating position.
Empire FGA Verdict
Intriguing Statistical Profile — Scout Validation Required. The attacking output from right-back, defensive solidity, CRS partial score, and EU passport create a compelling data signal. Recommended action: Two-match scout observation to complete CRS, CHR, DMA, and COACH. Current market value €865K (Sofascore). Post-validation potential: €1.5M–€3M if metrics confirm. Full match footage in Links tab.
❌ All mental and physical attributes are unvalidated. Technical estimates derived from Tier 1 stats only. CRS 8.7 is the sole scout‑observed metric (1 event, partial). Fotmob percentile data provides additional context but is not scout-validated.

Tactical Archetype
Stats and the CRS observation point to an attacking right-back who thrives in systems demanding overlapping runs and end-product from wide areas. High shot volume for his position suggests a fullback who enters the box — a fit for transitional and high-pressing systems. The Italian passport opens Serie A as a natural landing zone.

Full Scouting Report
Data‑Led · CRS 8.7 Partial · May 2026
Giuliano Cerato is a 27-year-old Argentine/Italian right-back who has spent his entire professional career in Argentine football, rising from the third division (UAI Urquiza) to Primera División with Instituto ACC. His career arc from Primera B to the top flight mirrors Instituto's own journey — he was part of the 2022 promotion squad that returned the club to the first division.
Statistical profile: Fotmob data places Cerato in the 90th percentile for shot attempts and 82nd percentile for goals among fullbacks — extraordinary attacking output for a defender. He also rates at 84th percentile for defensive contributions and 80th percentile for chances created. This is a genuine two-way fullback with end-product in both boxes.[reference:6]
The single scout‑observed CRS event scored 8.7/10 — a decisive defensive action in a high-stakes moment. This aligns with his statistical profile of above-average defensive contributions but requires 2+ additional events for full validation.
EU passport: Cerato holds Italian citizenship, making him immediately eligible for any EU league without work-permit restrictions. This is a significant commercial advantage and should be a core part of any transfer pitch.
Empire FGA Final Assessment
High-Potential Data Profile with EU Advantage — Scout Validation Required. The attacking output from right-back, defensive solidity, CRS partial score, promotion pedigree, and Italian passport create a compelling package. Recommended: Two‑match scout observation to complete CRS, CHR, DMA, and COACH. Current market value €865K (Sofascore). Post‑validation potential: €1.5M–€3M. Full match footage available in Links tab.

Assessment Notes
What to look for
Priority: CRS Confirmation
CRS 8.7 needs 2+ confirmation events. Watch for decisive defensive actions in high-stakes moments — last-ditch tackles, goal-line clearances, game-saving interventions. Timestamp these for clip compilation.
SII — Sprint Events Needed
No sprint data collected. Watch for acceleration bursts (SII_A), top‑speed runs (SII_T), and recovery sprints (SII_R) — essential for a fullback who operates in transition.
⚠️ CHR — Body Language
Zero character events. Observe responses after conceding goals, interactions with teammates, and leadership behaviors. The promotion pedigree suggests character — but needs direct observation.
