Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Balkovec.
Judged on this season alone, Balkovec graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 50 of the 50 centre-backs in the Süper Lig, on 3 clean sheets and 2.498 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 18 → 19). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 35th of 50 of the 50 centre-backs in the Süper Lig. At 31 Balkovec is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
