On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 16th of 38 of the 38 central midfielders in the Liga I. At 29 Cicâldău is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
1.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 33 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 3 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 24.9, Cicâldău carries the 16th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga I of 38. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.99 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 (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~9), then tapers with age. At 29, Cicâldău sits on 4.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Cicâldău's projected Rating — 24.9 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
