Scout report
B. Šabović is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Austin, rated 27.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 348th of 491 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (50% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.22 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Šabović.
Judged on this season alone, Šabović graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 71st of 86 of the 86 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 2.222 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 18 → 14). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 65th of 86 of the 86 central midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 28 Šabović is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Austin finished 13th of 15 · a relegation-threatened side
2.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th of 15) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 50% 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 27.8, Šabović carries the 65th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 86, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Austin finished 13th of 15) — 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 moderate defensive volume (2.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
