Output in context · Rapid finished 5th of 6 · a relegation-threatened side
4.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (5th 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 78.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 30.9, Bubanja carries the 12th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga I (top 40%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Rapid finished 5th 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 solid defensive volume (4.88 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.
