Clean sheets

1.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) 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 4 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.68 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.34 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 71.6, Bajraktarevic carries the 6th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Eredivisie (top 25%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
