Clean sheets

1.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 67.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.79 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • 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 15.1, Zobnin carries the 26th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 30 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
