Forward·6 apps·205 minsJakov Puljić has begun the 2026/27 HNL campaign with a noticeable defensive contribution that exceeds the typical expectations for a forward. In his first four appearances, he has logged 167 minutes, scored one goal, and provided no assists, while taking five shots - three of which were on target - yielding a conversion rate of 20%. His offensive output translates to 0.54 goals per 90 minutes, surpassing the baseline of 0.35 for his position, and his 2.69 shots per 90 minutes outpace the positional average of 1.76. However, it is his work off the ball that stands out: Puljić has completed one tackle and made three interceptions, giving him 0.54 tackles per 90 minutes, well below the baseline of 0.98, and a defensive involvement that is above the norm for a forward. With an average match rating of 6.23 and a single key pass recorded, Puljić’s season so far illustrates a player who, while still developing his attacking output, is contributing defensively more than the typical forward in the league.
Jakov Puljić has played 205 minutes across 6 appearances in HNL, scoring 0.44 goals per 90 against a positional baseline of 0.36, converting 17% of 6 shots and averaging 6.29 a match.
