Outlook

With a Rating of 27.1, Țîrlea carries the 20th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga I of 46 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.64 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.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~3), then tapers with age. At 26, Țîrlea sits on 3.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Țîrlea's projected Rating — 27.1 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.
