Output in context · Lincoln finished 1st of 24 · a title-challenging side
3.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 24) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 40.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 46.5, Varfolomeev carries the 12th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One (top 20%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.86 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
