S. Babkin is a 23-year-old central midfielder at Krylia Sovetov, rated 26.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 20th of 104 on scout potential in the Premier League. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (13.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.5 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Babkin.

Judged on this season alone, Babkin graded 3 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 9th of 17 of the 17 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 3.5 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 27 → 27). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, top 24% of the 17 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 23 Babkin is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 2.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 13.3% 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 26.6, Babkin carries the 4th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League (top 24%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Krylia Sovetov finished 11th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
