Output in context · Nizhny Novgorod finished 15th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
4.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (15th 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 94.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 25.1 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
