K. Čustović is a 26-year-old full-back at HNK Gorica, rated 29.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 91st of 152 on scout potential in the HNL. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (32.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.38 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Čustović.

Judged on this season alone, Čustović graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 33 of the 33 full-backs in the HNL, on 2 clean sheets and 2.38 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 15 → 7). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 19th of 33 of the 33 full-backs in the HNL. At 26 Čustović is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 24 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

  • Game time. Only 32.1% 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 29.7, Čustović carries the 19th-highest potential of the full-backs in the HNL of 33, 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 (2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
