How do you play Kristian Popović?
Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Anchor them in front of the centre-backs to screen space, break up play and make the first pass. They're the team's balance. They can also play CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Half-winger, which reinforce that profile.
What do they do well?
What makes them reliable: strength (66) and stamina (63). That poor strength is their signature.
What are they missing?
Their soft spots: marking (51) and reading of the game (52). Pick their role to hide those gaps.
Are they worth the price?
Worth around 354 K€ with 1 K€ wages. A project signing: cheap for what they can become, so the margin is on your side. They're also out of contract soon (2026), so you can push in talks or grab them almost free at the end of the season.
How far can they go?
They start from 57 with a ceiling of 64 — that's +7 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Potential doesn't rise on its own: it needs games, not the bench.
What is Kristian Popović's best position?

How high can Kristian Popović's rating go?

Are they expensive to sign?

Do they win the ball back well?
Their reading of the game is 52 — a liability for their position.
