Output in context · Spartak Moscow finished 3rd of 16 · an upper-table side
1.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 64.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.6 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 18.8, Zinkovskiy carries the 24th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 30. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
