Clean sheets

2.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 38 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) 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.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 98.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.1/100).

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 66.7 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 (~80), then tapers with age. At 28, Milenković sits on 48, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Milenković's projected Rating — 66.7 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.
