Clean sheets

3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 6) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 78.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 17, Mikanović carries the 45th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga I of 61. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
