Clean sheets

3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 32, Boțogan carries the 8th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga I of 40 — though on just 24 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.71 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
