Clean sheets

1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 30 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 54.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.77 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 40.5, Krupskyi carries the 1st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League (top 4%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
