Scout report

Squad depthFull-back

M. Buzhyn is a 27-year-old full-back at SK Poltava, rated 25.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 131st of 188 on scout potential in the Premier League. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (27.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.05 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Buzhyn.

Judged on this season alone, Buzhyn graded 4 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 36th of 39 of the 39 full-backs in the Premier League, on 1 clean sheet and 2.051 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 4). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 27th of 39 of the 39 full-backs in the Premier League. At 27 Buzhyn is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 21 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 27.6% 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 25.7, Buzhyn carries the 27th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League of 39 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.05 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.
