Clean sheets

1.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) 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.

Outlook

Rated 38.3 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

Value & potential by age

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 (~1), then tapers with age. At 24, Milanovic sits on 1.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Milanovic's projected Rating — 38.3 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.
