Watch points

Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 35.8, Banovec carries the 12th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the HNL of 27, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (NK Slaven Belupo finished 7th 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 work-in-progress on end product (0.32 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~5), then tapers with age. At 24, Banovec sits on 4.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Banovec's projected Rating — 35.8 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
