Scout report

Experienced headFull-back

N. Šipčić is a 31-year-old full-back at Asteras Tripolis, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 21 appearances, a Season grade of 20, top 56% of Super League 1 full-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 17.9, ranking 198th of 267 in the Super League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (58.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.15 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Šipčić.

Judged on this season alone, Šipčić graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 39 of the 39 full-backs in the Super League 1, on 5 clean sheets and 3.15 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 20). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 33rd of 39 of the 39 full-backs in the Super League 1. At 31 Šipčić is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th of 14) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 17.9, Šipčić carries the 33rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Super League 1 of 39, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Asteras Tripolis finished 14th of 14) — 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 (3.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
