The build of this résumé points to a player who is deployed to change rhythm or add a finishing touch late in games rather than to carry prolonged tactical responsibility[^fact-1]. ## Season form Season usage has been extremely limited: three appearances and just 92 minutes on the pitch across the campaign[^fact-2]. That volume constrains interpretation of output but frames the statistical baseline — contributions must be judged in micro-samples rather than traditional per-90 metrics[^fact-2]. Despite the low minutes, the provider average rating sits at 6.63 for the season, indicating steady if unspectacular short-term performances when involved[^fact-3]. Those two signals together describe a fringe attacking option who has not yet translated scarce pitch time into standout box-score influence, but who has avoided catastrophic outings in the minutes entrusted to him[^fact-2][^fact-3]. ## Availability & momentum Availability appears intermittent: the raw minutes total highlights a role that has been largely peripheral this season rather than indicative of injury-free, continuous selection[^fact-2]. The small sample of appearances can mask short-term momentum swings; without extended runs of minutes, any match-to-match upticks or drops are amplified in the ledger. The combination of three cameo appearances and sub-100-minute accumulation suggests selection is situational, with opportunities likely coming from tactical tinkering or late-game substitutions rather than as a starter[^fact-2]. The average rating of 6.63 implies those limited opportunities have been converted into broadly competent showings rather than decisive game-changing interventions[^fact-3]. ## What to watch Next international fixture presents the practical test: whether coaching staff extend Jankauskas a longer run beyond the cameo minutes that define the season so far[^fact-2]. Key signals to monitor are an increase in minutes (moving beyond the current 92 total) and whether the role shifts from stop-gap attacker to a more sustained attacking presence[^fact-2]. The modestly healthy provider rating gives a baseline expectation — the player is unlikely to be a negative presence, but the data do not yet support expecting outsized attacking returns until a clearer run of matches and minutes arrives[^fact-3][^fact-2]. ### Cited facts [^fact-1]: **Identity** — 27 years old · Lithuania · Attacker · current club Lithuania.
