Clean sheets

2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 30 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 5 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 58.4% 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 34.1, Sarapiy carries the 14th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League (top 37%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
