1 goal in 27 appearances (0.04 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 31.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.09 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 25.2, Lepinjica carries the 29th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the HNL of 35, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (NK Slaven Belupo finished 7th of 10) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.09 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
