Judged on this season alone, Celina graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 12th of 27 of the 27 central midfielders in the Pro League, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 1.149 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 20). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 24th of 27 of the 27 central midfielders in the Pro League. At 30 Celina is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.15 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 19.7, Celina carries the 24th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Pro League of 27 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
