Clean sheets

1.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 18 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 53.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.35 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 16.5, Ezhov carries the 4th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the First League of 4 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
