Clean sheets

3.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (6th of 6) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 70.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 12.3, Raţă carries the 22nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga I of 24, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Arges Pitesti finished 6th of 6) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
