Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Zeljković.
Judged on this season alone, Zeljković graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 31 of the 31 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 33, 14th of 31 of the 31 central midfielders in the NB I. At 24 Zeljković is in his prime years, and a market index of 5 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · MTK Budapest finished 10th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 50.4% 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 32.8, Zeljković carries the 14th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the NB I of 31 — 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.
