An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (67.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.7 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Shnaptsev.
Judged on this season alone, Shnaptsev graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 36 of the 36 full-backs in the Premier League, on 3 clean sheets and 3.699 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 18). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, top 34% of the 36 full-backs in the Premier League. At 22 Shnaptsev is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 3.2 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Shnaptsev is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Nizhny Novgorod finished 15th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
3.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 67.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 31.5, Shnaptsev carries the 12th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League (top 34%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Nizhny Novgorod finished 15th 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 solid defensive volume (3.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
