Clean sheets

5.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 11 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 45.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 17.2, Kakabadze carries the 25th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Ekstraklasa of 30 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
