In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.78 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pinho.
Judged on this season alone, Pinho graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 30 of the 30 central midfielders in the Liga I, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 4.776 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 19 → 17). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 15th of 30 of the 30 central midfielders in the Liga I. At 26 Pinho is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Universitatea Cluj finished 2nd of 6 · a title-challenging side
4.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 30 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 4.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 27.7% 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 28.5, Pinho carries the 15th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga I of 30 — though on just 30 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
