On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, top 29% of the 32 defensive midfielders in the HNL. At 26 Trontelj is in his prime years, and a market index of 13.4 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Trontelj is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
2.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 33 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 3 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 35.3, Trontelj carries the 9th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the HNL (top 29%), 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 (2.81 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~13), then tapers with age. At 26, Trontelj sits on 13.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Trontelj's projected Rating — 35.3 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.
