Scout report

Rising starBall-winning Central midfielder

K. Fayad is a 22-year-old central midfielder at HNK Hajduk Split, rated 61.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 1st of 158 on scout potential in the HNL and 163rd of 1532 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (39.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.39 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fayad.

Judged on this season alone, Fayad graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 12th of 20 of the 20 central midfielders in the HNL, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 4.387 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 11 → 26). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 62, top 5% of the 20 central midfielders in the HNL. At 22 Fayad is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Fayad missed 4 games through injury (leg) out of roughly 36 this season. The 20 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

4.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 10) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 61.7, Fayad carries the 1st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the HNL of 20 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
