Thin sample this season. Relja Obric has played 2 matches (170 min) so far, so sections that need a bigger sample to say anything reliable are not shown here — they are missing on purpose, not broken. See all seasons combined →
01
What Patterns Define Him?
His repeatable signature. A step only appears if its reliability score (sample size × match coverage) reaches at least Medium confidence — pattern mining, not anecdotes.
RECEIVE
in the first line of build-up — mostly in the defensive third (56% of his 73 passes)
86% completion · 73× in 2/2 matches
Signature: Only Receive shows a proven, repeatable pattern this season — too little evidence yet (2 matches loaded) for a fuller signature chain.
Not a pattern: carry out — 0× (insufficient confidence, hidden — not enough evidence yet); break a line — 0× (insufficient confidence, hidden — not enough evidence yet); switch play — 0× (insufficient confidence, hidden — not enough evidence yet); progress — 1× (low confidence, shown as a number only, no tactical conclusion drawn) — omitted from the signature rather than presented as one.

What he does with the ball: build-up, progression, creation, carrying and finishing.
22 tracked carries (11.6/90, 5 progressive, 189m total) — the ball moving with his touches, a different signal from dribbles below (beating an opponent 1v1). even a player who rarely dribbles past a man can still carry the ball forward constantly in build-up; this is that.

Beaten in the tackle
How often an attacker gets past him in a 1v1 defensive duel — the closest signal the data has to "dribbled past" (no attacker-beat-defender field exists directly, so this counts tackles he attempted and lost).

How does he create chances?

Tactical patterns — how his football actually looks
Three clustered sequence diagrams from his own event data — his three busiest routes: the way he progresses, the pattern behind his chances, and where a turnover turns dangerous.

Where does he lose the ball most?
This is a RATE, not a raw count — the share of his touches in each zone that end in a turnover, so a zone he simply plays in more often doesn't automatically look riskier. His weakest zone is the left half-space in the middle third: 30% of his 10 touches there are lost (3 times).
41 defensive actions across the season (21.7/90). Where he wins the ball, and how — the core question for a defender. Aerial duels are not recorded for this competition, so aerial dominance is not measured here.

Team
Team context
How much of the team runs through him, and what changes without him.
Atalanta's output per match with Relja Obric (2 matches) versus without him (6 matches). Insufficient evidence — the without-sample is only 6 matches; treat every Δ below as noise until more games exist. What his own defending should move — goals conceded and results — leads; attacking output (largely out of a defender's hands) is shown after, for context. A proper on-off model needs many more minutes.

Style and verdict
Style profile, closest comparables, and the summary.
Relja Obric is a centre-back: 86% pass completion, 0 line-breaking passes and 1.6 progressive passes /90. A build-and-progress centre-back whose value is in beating the first line with the pass, not in raw defensive volume. [Aerial duels, marking, line-height and 1v1 recovery need aerial-event + tracking data, absent here.]
Based on 2 matches (170 minutes) — an early read, treat with caution until more minutes are logged. He profiles as a centre-back — best used in a system built around that identity.
