Output in context · HNK Gorica finished 8th of 10 · a relegation-threatened side
4.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (8th of 10) 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 4 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 82% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.3 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 4.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 38.6, Pozo carries the 3rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the HNL (top 10%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (HNK Gorica finished 8th of 10) — 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 solid defensive volume (4.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
