Output in context · Universitatea Cluj finished 2nd of 6 · a title-challenging side
3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 19 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 46.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 21.1, Cissé carries the 23rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga I of 43. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
