Goals / app

6 goals in 20 appearances (0.3 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.53 goal contributions per 90 (0.53 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, 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 8.5, Erceg carries the 15th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the HNL of 16, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (HNK Gorica finished 8th of 10) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.53 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
