Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · FC Sochi finished 16th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
1.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 56.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.55 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 27.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
