On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 26th of 49 of the 49 centre-backs in the Liga I. At 29 Cissé is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.9 reflects that trajectory.
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.
With a Rating of 21.1, Cissé carries the 26th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga I of 49. 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).
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 (~7), then tapers with age. At 29, Cissé sits on 3.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Cissé's projected Rating — 21.1 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.
