Scout report
M. Gaćinović is a 31-year-old central midfielder at AEK Athens FC, rated 15.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 211th of 267 on scout potential in the Super League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (23.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.99 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gaćinović.
Judged on this season alone, Gaćinović graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 50th of 54 of the 54 central midfielders in the Super League 1, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.994 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 48th of 54 of the 54 central midfielders in the Super League 1. At 31 Gaćinović is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · AEK Athens FC finished 1st of 14 · a title-challenging side
3.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 14) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 23.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, 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 15.7, Gaćinović carries the 48th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League 1 of 54 — though on just 15 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.99 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
