On long-term scout potential he's rated 13.4, ranking 255th of 276 in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (46.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.79 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Zobnin.

Judged on this season alone, Zobnin graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 56 of the 56 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 2.79 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 10 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 53rd of 56 of the 56 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 32 Zobnin is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 16) 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, 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 13.4, Zobnin carries the 53rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 56. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
