Caps & goals this season.
S. Shopov is a 24-year-old central midfielder at NK Osijek, rated 30.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 102nd of 191 in the HNL. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.84 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Shopov.
Judged on this season alone, Shopov graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 15th of 18 of the 18 central midfielders in the HNL, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 2.841 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 7).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 8th of 18 of the 18 central midfielders in the HNL. At 24 Shopov is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.2 reflects that trajectory.
2.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (9th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 30.9, Shopov carries the 8th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the HNL of 18 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. 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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 24, Shopov sits on 4.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Shopov's projected Rating — 30.9 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.
