Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 1 → 10). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Clean sheets

6.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 18 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (8th of 8) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 6.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 19.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, 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 7.1, Jovančić carries the 29th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Super Liga of 29 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
