Scout report
D. Tijanič is a 29-year-old central midfielder at Al Najma, rated 32.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 186th of 317 on scout potential in the Pro League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (59.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.36 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tijanič.
Judged on this season alone, Tijanič graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 66 of the 66 central midfielders in the Pro League, on 2 goals, 3 assists and 2.362 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 30). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 45th of 66 of the 66 central midfielders in the Pro League. At 29 Tijanič is in his prime years, and a market index of 8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Al Najma finished 18th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
2.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) 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 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 59.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 32.8, Tijanič carries the 45th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Pro League of 66, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Al Najma finished 18th of 18) — 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 (2.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
