Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.9% 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 43.6, Chirila carries the 18th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Major League Soccer of 56 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 17 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
