On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 36th of 38 of the 38 full-backs in the HNL. At 33 Melnjak is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 10) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 10.3, Melnjak carries the 36th-highest potential of the full-backs in the HNL of 38. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).

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 (~2), then tapers with age. At 33, Melnjak sits on 0.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Melnjak's projected Rating — 10.3 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.
