On the season, Čestić graded 3 for current form (age-blind), on 0 clean sheets and 3.025 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 4 → 3). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 51. At 25 Čestić is in his prime years, and a market index of 65 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Čestić missed 12 games through injury (broken ankle, ankle fracture) out of roughly 34 this season. The 7 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Čestić is operating at his career peak — the 2022/23 level is the level.
3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 7 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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.
Rated 50.8 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 (~65), then tapers with age. At 25, Čestić sits on 65, at or near its peak. The blue line is Čestić's projected Rating — 50.8 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.
