In his team Dinamo Zagreb, he usually plays as playmaker, on the left side of the field, to make up for the lack of lefties in the team. But, his natural position is central midfielder, and he plays as playmaker solely due to his capabilities to cover that role as well, and to leave room for designated defensive midfielders in Dinamo's 4-3-2-1 formation.
He uses both feet to play, and his biggest strength is his swift offensive positioning without the ball. He's also one of few playmakers who contribute on the defensive end as well. His lack of physical power makes his shots on goal mostly ineffective. However, he has plenty of stamina and is very aggressive in duels. His timing is perfect, and his passes are accurate.
