Ajdin Hrustic of Heracles has proven himself to be quite a mixed bag in his 2023-2024 season. The Australian right-winger, also flexible in central and defensive midfield positions, stands out considerably in certain areas, while lacking in others. He excels at maintaining control of the ball, falling in the 71.4% percentile in ball retention, and demonstrates impressive passing skills, ranking in the 87.3% percentile for progressive passing. These strengths facilitate his role as a link-up player and reflect his ability to retain possession and play positively forward.
However, promising areas of his play are counterbalanced by areas in need of improvement. Hrustic ranks extremely low in the areas of goal threat and progressive carrying, with rankings in the 6.3% and 4.8% percentiles respectively, suggesting he lacks the aggression necessary in front of the goal and is less inclined to drive the ball forward himself. Additionally, Hrustic is not very creative; his chance creation percentile is low at 20.6%, indicating a need to work on his imaginative play and ability to set up scoring opportunities.
Echoing these weaknesses is his contribution to the overall scoring, a stark area for concern with 16.13% goals per 90 and 9.68% assists per 90. Hrustic must address this deficit in his play to become more valuable in terms of ultimate product on the pitch. At age 27, Hrustic has time to develop these skills, but must do so quickly to reach his prime performance levels in the coming seasons.
