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 62.3% 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 7.5, Akinfeev carries the 14th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Premier League of 14. A a regular starter keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
