On the season, Utkus graded 23 for current form (age-blind), on 4 clean sheets and 4.59 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 23 → 14). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 46. At 26 Utkus is in his prime years, and a market index of 14.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Cercle Brugge finished 13th of 18 · a lower-table side
4.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 44.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 45.9 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
