For the difference of previous season, while he played mostly as a midfielder, Sedlar got the new role, and in new season, he was used usually as a defender. Sometimes, he also was moved to left-back position while he has played as a midfielder, so positions in defense were no strage for him. Later, he was rotated on centre-back position, but he was not the first choice,[5] so he made only 3 league caps and one cup match for the autumn half of season. After changing coach, formation was changed too, and Metalac was playing with 3 centre-backs for the better part of spring half-season.[6] Sedlar played all matches in that period, and his position was something like Emre Can's in Liverpool for 2014–15 season. He made total 20 appearances until the end of season, including 18 league,[4] 1 cup,[7] and 1 play-off match.[8]

2015–16 season

[edit]

Sedlar made his SuperLiga debut in the 1st fixture of 2015–16 season as a centre-back, in tandem with Vladimir Otašević.[15] In the 7th fixture he scored a goal in away win against Spartak Subotica.[16] In the 9th fixture he also scored an away goal, against Vojvodina.[17] Sedlar missed some matches in the first half season because of injury, but beginning of December, the media reported Red Star Belgrade has expressed interest in him.[18] Later, after the end first half of season, appeared the information that Partizan interested too.[19] During the season, Sedlar played mostly matches as a team captain, and was one of the most important players in roster. Sedlar was also selected in the team of the season by Sportski žurnal.[20]
