Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Zeljković.
Judged on this season alone, Zeljković graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 38 of the 38 central midfielders in the NB I, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 4.436 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Zeljković, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 16th of 38 of the 38 central midfielders in the NB I. At 23 Zeljković is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 11.1 reflects that trajectory.
4.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 12) 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 30.9, Zeljković carries the 16th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the NB I of 38 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
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 (~11), then tapers with age. At 23, Zeljković sits on 11.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Zeljković's projected Rating — 30.9 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.
