Scout report

Project playerCentral midfielder

A. Hrustić is a 30-year-old central midfielder at Heracles, rated 38.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 234th of 284 on scout potential in the Eredivisie. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (72.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.99 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hrustić.

Judged on this season alone, Hrustić graded 38 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 56 of the 56 attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie, on 1 goal, 6 assists and 1.985 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 10 → 38). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 38, 47th of 56 of the 56 attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 30 Hrustić is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 14.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Hrustić missed 5 games through injury (injury, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 27 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

1.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 27 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) 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 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 72.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.99 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 38.3, Hrustić carries the 47th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie of 56, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Heracles finished 18th of 18) — 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 light defensive volume (1.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
