Experienced headGoalkeeper

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 13, top 41% of Premier League goalkeepers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 11.1, ranking 154th of 157 in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (98.3% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Akinfeev.

Judged on this season alone, Akinfeev graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 7th of 17 of the 17 goalkeepers in the Premier League, on 4 clean sheets across 19 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 54 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 11, 16th of 17 of the 17 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 0.5 reflects that trajectory.

4 clean sheets in 19 appearances (21% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (4th 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 98.3% 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 11.1, Akinfeev carries the 16th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Premier League of 17. 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).
