Output in context · Vukovar finished 10th of 10 · a relegation-threatened side
14 goals in 31 appearances (0.45 per game) is double figures — and for a relegation-threatened side (10th of 10), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 75% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.52 goal contributions per 90 (0.52 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
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 14.6, Puljić carries the 13th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the HNL of 16, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Vukovar finished 10th of 10) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.52 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
