An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.84 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Shopov.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 7).

Output in context · NK Osijek finished 9th of 10 · a relegation-threatened side
2.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (9th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 18.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 30.9, Shopov carries the 8th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the HNL of 18 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.84 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.
