On long-term scout potential he's rated 18.6, ranking 152nd of 191 in the HNL. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option (48.8% of available minutes).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 19 → 26). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 31st of 38 of the 38 full-backs in the HNL. At 30 Karačić is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (9th of 10) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.8% 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 18.6, Karačić carries the 31st-highest potential of the full-backs in the HNL of 38, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (NK Osijek finished 9th of 10) — 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 (3.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
