Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 17 → 26). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 50, top 12% of the 61 centre-backs in the Pro League. At 26 Utkus is in his prime years, and a market index of 14.8 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · Al Kholood finished 14th of 18 · a lower-table side
2.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 92.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 50, Utkus carries the 7th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Pro League (top 12%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Al Kholood finished 14th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.86 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. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
