Scout report

Experienced headCentral midfielder

D. Antolić is a 36-year-old central midfielder at NK Lokomotiva Zagreb, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 1 assists in 13 appearances, a Season grade of 9, top 78% of HNL central midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 7.3, ranking 188th of 191 in the HNL. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (18.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.21 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Antolić.

Judged on this season alone, Antolić graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 14th of 18 of the 18 central midfielders in the HNL, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.206 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 37 → 9). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 7, 18th of 18 of the 18 central midfielders in the HNL. At 36 Antolić is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 13 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 18.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, 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 7.3, Antolić carries the 18th-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 (2.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
