Playing Style & Position
Andrej Kramarić is best described as a creative playmaker with flair in a forward position as a striker or attacking winger, especially in the box. His cheeky backheel versus Nurnberg2 in 2018-19 proves that he is a box of tricks. He is also a set-piece specialist, converting penalties and always dangerous from free-kicks within shooting range.
