Clean sheets

0.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 14) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.41 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Creativity. 0.41 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Outlook

Rated 24.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~4), then tapers with age. At 28, Kutesa sits on 2.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Kutesa's projected Rating — 24.8 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
