D. Khotulev is a 23-year-old central defender at FC Orenburg, rated 32.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 54th of 274 in the Premier League. An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (76% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.5 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Khotulev.
Judged on this season alone, Khotulev graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 48 of the 48 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 4 clean sheets and 2.495 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 17). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, top 21% of the 48 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 23 Khotulev is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 9.7 reflects that trajectory.
Khotulev is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
2.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 32.4, Khotulev carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League (top 21%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (FC Orenburg finished 12th 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 (2.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~10), then tapers with age. At 23, Khotulev sits on 9.7, at or near its peak. The blue line is Khotulev's projected Rating — 32.4 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.
