We hold a single season for Ștefan, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 27th of 40 of the 40 central midfielders in the Liga I. At 30 Ștefan is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.
3.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 18 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 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 17.6, Ștefan carries the 27th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga I of 40. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.44 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× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 30, Ștefan sits on 1.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Ștefan's projected Rating — 17.6 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.
