2 goals in 22 appearances (0.09 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 71.2% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.12 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.29 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 37.7, Butić carries the 21st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the HNL of 27, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Vukovar finished 10th of 10) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.12 goal contributions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
