An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (37.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.87 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Karpukas.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 33 → 18). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, top 30% of the 30 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 24 Karpukas is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Zenit finished 2nd of 16 · a title-challenging side
2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.36 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.36 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 37.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 31.5, Karpukas carries the 9th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 30 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
