Scout report

Project playerCentral defender

A. Soldatenkov is a 29-year-old central defender at FC Sochi, rated 21.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 198th of 276 on scout potential in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (84% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.25 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Soldatenkov.

Judged on this season alone, Soldatenkov graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 65 of the 65 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 4 clean sheets and 3.254 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 18 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 44th of 65 of the 65 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 29 Soldatenkov is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 16) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 84% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 21.5, Soldatenkov carries the 44th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 65, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (FC Sochi finished 16th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
