I. Lepskiy is a 21-year-old central defender at Krylia Sovetov, rated 30.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 12th of 37 on scout potential in the Premier League and 1474th of 1767 U-23 players tracked. A young player, he has been a rotation option this season (42.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.43 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Lepskiy.

Judged on this season alone, Lepskiy graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 9th of 14 of the 14 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 3 clean sheets and 3.432 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 10 → 14). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 7th of 14 of the 14 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 21 Lepskiy is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.43 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 16) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 42.7% 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 30.9, Lepskiy carries the 7th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 14, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Krylia Sovetov finished 11th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.43 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.
