5 clean sheets in 13 appearances (38% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 6) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.5% 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 33.5, Lefter carries the 4th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Liga I of 26 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
