Why we like him
Start him with confidence: Barkas is listed in the Starting XI for the trip to FC Groningen, and he brings real availability value with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks while averaging 96 minutes per game. Utrecht's strong form, reflected by an 86.67 team form index and a Sorare Edge projection of 80.1 points at medium confidence, pushes his floor up thanks to steady minutes and save opportunity. The upside is a clean sheet or a big-save outing that bumps his ceiling, and the medium model confidence simply tempers the degree of that upside rather than his reliability.
