8 clean sheets in 15 appearances (53% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90/100).

Watch points

Game time. Only 44.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 60.1 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~44), then tapers with age. At 27, Safonov sits on 44.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Safonov's projected Rating — 60.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
