Output in context · Qingdao Jonoon finished 14th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th of 16) 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 5 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 72.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- 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 10.5, Sarić carries the 44th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League of 55, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Qingdao Jonoon finished 14th of 16) — 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 (3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
