Scout report

Solid contributorDefensive midfielder

S. Lukić is a 29-year-old defensive midfielder at Fulham, rated 53.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 295th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (62.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.95 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lukić.

Judged on this season alone, Lukić graded 37 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 3.945 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 34 → 37). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 53, 40th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 29 Lukić is in his prime years, and a market index of 40.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Lukić missed 7 games through injury (injury, groin, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 26 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.

Clean sheets

3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 62.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 94.7/100).

Watch points

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 53.3, Lukić carries the 40th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 55. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
