Strengths

Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95.3/100).
Ceiling. High potential at just 18 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 10.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 74 overall — elite — among the best in the position. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~89), then tapers with age. At 18, Balagušs sits on 66.6, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Balagušs's projected Rating — 74 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.
