Clean sheets

0.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.29 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 0.79 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 25.9, Antyukh carries the 15th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League of 22. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
