Tajio James

James is in the Starting XI as a real upside play because he brings genuine international finishing form, having scored five goals in 15 caps for Barbados and arriving on a three year deal after impressing in Varaždin's preseason. That ceiling comes with risk: he has 0 appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 0 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so expect volatility and a capped floor, but he will plug into a side that creates chances through Aleksa Latkovic and Ivan Mamut, who posted eight goals and six assists and nine goals and four assists respectively this season for Varaždin. Hajduk Split are a tough defensive matchup, conceding about 1.0 goals per match and racking up 14 clean sheets in 2025 26, so James is more of a high-upside gamble than a safe starter; the Sorare Edge projection of 72.9 with medium confidence reflects that profile.
