Judged on this season alone, Filipović graded 26 — a strong campaign that ranks top 30% of the 31 centre-backs in the HNL, on 7 clean sheets and 2.843 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 34 → 26). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 28th of 31 of the 31 centre-backs in the HNL. At 33 Filipović is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · HNK Gorica finished 8th of 10 · a relegation-threatened side
2.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (8th 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 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 90.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 33, 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 15.6, Filipović carries the 28th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the HNL of 31, 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. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
