Output in context · Universitatea Craiova finished 1st of 6 · a title-challenging side
3.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 6) 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 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.6% 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 17.6, Ștefan carries the 27th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga I of 40. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.44 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× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
