On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 19th of 36 of the 36 defensive midfielders in the Liga I. At 28 Simion is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.6 reflects that trajectory.
3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 22.7, Simion carries the 19th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga I of 36. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× 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 (~8), then tapers with age. At 28, Simion sits on 4.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Simion's projected Rating — 22.7 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.
