Clean sheets

1.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) 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 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 51.2% 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 23.5, Celina carries the 21st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Pro League of 26 — 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 (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
