Independent rating — league strength (Opta-anchored) × competition tier × position-normalized output. Thin data: leans on league tier, caps and FC26 prior. Not affiliated with EA or FIFA.
Šutalo is the right-footed centre-back who pairs with Gvardiol. His Ajax minutes have given him a Eredivisie-tempo education that translates well to international football, and Dalić has trusted him in qualifying ahead of more senior names.
Strengths
- aerial duels
- tackling in 1v1 situations
- right-footed line-breaking passing

Played 28 Eredivisie matches for Ajax in 2025-26.
