His 2018/2019 season context is the frame for the following numbers[^fact-2]. ## Season form Across the 2018/2019 campaign Quagliarella logged 37 appearances and 3,211 minutes on the pitch, a workload that kept him at the centre of Sampdoria's attacking minutes[^fact-2]. That volume translated into a high output: 26 goals and 8 assists for the season, underlining finishing and end-product as his main contributions[^fact-3]. Provider metrics back this up — the season average rating sits at 7.52, indicating consistent output on a match-by-match basis[^fact-4]. Over the last five matches the expected numbers show 1.28 xG and 0.30 xA, signalling that the underlying chance creation and shooting volume have remained meaningful even in a short sample[^fact-5]. ## Availability & momentum Form in the immediate run has been mixed: in the last five appearances Quagliarella produced 1 goal and 1 assist across 396 minutes, a moderate return in limited time on pitch that still shows direct contributions when involved[^fact-6]. Availability for the group appears to have been substantial across the season given the minutes total, but the most recent single-match reading was a blank in a 0–2 loss away to Napoli — zero goals, zero assists and a match rating of 6.32 in that fixture[^fact-7]. That last outing punctuates a short-term dip in decisive end-product despite the stronger seasonal numbers. ## What to watch The immediate fixture list for Sampdoria is not supplied in the sourced facts; attention should therefore fall on the patterns within the data available[^fact-2]. Two items stand out as actionable reads from the supplied metrics: first, the combination of 26 goals and 8 assists for the season confirms finishing as the core strength to monitor in match build-up and set-piece moments[^fact-3]; second, the last-five xG of 1.28 suggests continued shooting opportunity — if minutes in a given match approach the seasonal average involvement, the underlying numbers indicate a material chance of involvement in the scoresheet[^fact-5]. The recent 396-minute, 1+1 sequence in five matches points to cameo or rotated usage that can concentrate returns into short bursts, while the blank at Napoli serves as a reminder that output can fluctuate from game to game[^fact-6][^fact-7]. ### Cited facts [^fact-1]: **Identity** — 43 years old · Italy · Attacker · current club Sampdoria.
