Clean sheets

4.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th 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 4 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 89.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Defensive volume. 4.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 33, 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 13.3, Dugalić carries the 33rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super League of 54, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Sichuan Jiuniu finished 12th 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 solid defensive volume (4.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
