Miha Zajc, the Slovenian central midfielder currently strutting his stuff at Fenerbahce, has an array of intriguing attributes that are worth noting according to his scout report. Zajc is a workhorse in the midfield, demonstrating neither superiority nor inadequacy with his ability to recover and retain the ball - both stats dwelling around the average threshold. He poses a goal threat, ranking within the top third of his peers – his goal efficient nature extending beyond the 70th percentile. However, he lacks in progressive carrying, falling disappointingly within the bottom 5% of all midfielders.
A silence envelopes his assisting abilities, with his assists per 90 sitting just above a meager 17%, but he makes a deafening statement with a stunning pass accuracy of a little over 93% that is sure to strike envy among many of his contemporaries. He’s drawn notable attention for his impressive goal threat per 90 minutes performance - sitting high up in the 90th percentile range. Backing his attacking proclivities, Zajc maintains a solid track record with shots per 90, sitting firmly in the upper echelons of the league.
Defensively, he falls just under the norm when it comes to aerial duels (64.36%) but struggles greatly with overall duel win percentage (35.11%), which is a cause for concern. Paying attention to his rather high fouls committed and yellow cards would also serve him well. Despite being a player who isn't afraid to engage defensively, his intercepting numbers and recoveries could stand a boost. Overall, Zajc's style of play offers an engaging blend of goal threats and stellar pass work, yet his defensive aspects and progressive carrying need constructive consideration.
