Clean sheets

3.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 31 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 53.9% 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 27.8, Băluță carries the 14th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga I (top 35%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
