We hold a single season for Popović, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 39, top 18% of the 29 defensive midfielders in the Super Liga. At 22 Popović is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 16.5 reflects that trajectory.
1.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (7th of 8) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 39.4, Popović carries the 5th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Super Liga (top 18%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Radnik Surdulica finished 7th of 8) — 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 light defensive volume (1.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~17), then tapers with age. At 22, Popović sits on 16.5, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Popović's projected Rating — 39.4 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.
