Scout report
I. Akinfeev is a 40-year-old goalkeeper at CSKA Moscow, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 19 appearances, a Season grade of 12, top 38% of Premier League goalkeepers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 9.7, ranking 265th of 274 in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (84.9% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Akinfeev.
Judged on this season alone, Akinfeev graded 12 — a solid campaign that ranks top 39% of the 21 goalkeepers in the Premier League, on 4 clean sheets across 19 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 54 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 18th of 21 of the 21 goalkeepers in the Premier League. At 40 Akinfeev is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Akinfeev missed 8 games through injury (muscle, heart problems, inactive) out of roughly 30 this season. The 19 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · CSKA Moscow finished 5th of 16 · an upper-table side
4 clean sheets in 19 appearances (21% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (5th of 16) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 84.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 40, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 9.7, Akinfeev carries the 18th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Premier League of 21. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
