Output in context · NK Osijek finished 9th of 10 · a relegation-threatened side
2.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (9th 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 70.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 31.9, Jelenić carries the 12th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the HNL of 25, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (NK Osijek finished 9th 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 (2.92 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.
