Scout report

Squad depthDefensive midfielder

M. Topić is a 25-year-old defensive midfielder at Norwich, rated 56.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 247th of 495 on scout potential in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.65 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Topić.

Judged on this season alone, Topić graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 36th of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Championship, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.645 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 8). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 56, 19th of 40 of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Championship. At 25 Topić is in his prime years, and a market index of 25.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Topić missed 29 games through injury (knee) out of roughly 46 this season. The 16 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.
