Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bakić.
Judged on this season alone, Bakić graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 32 of the 32 defensive midfielders in the HNL, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.768 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Bakić, 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 33, 15th of 32 of the 32 defensive midfielders in the HNL. At 23 Bakić is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 12.4 reflects that trajectory.
2.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (8th of 10) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 32.6, Bakić carries the 15th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the HNL of 32, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (HNK Gorica finished 8th of 10) — 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 (2.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) 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 (~12), then tapers with age. At 23, Bakić sits on 12.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Bakić's projected Rating — 32.6 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.
