Clean sheets

2.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 22) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 6 goals and 9 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.6 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.36 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 56.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 50.2, Cipenga carries the 57th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Segunda División of 91. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
