Clean sheets

2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 10 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.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 66.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

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

Outlook

With a Rating of 17.4, Meshchaninov carries the 35th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 40 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~2), then tapers with age. At 30, Meshchaninov sits on 0.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Meshchaninov's projected Rating — 17.4 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
