Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Stepanenko.
On the season, Stepanenko graded 5 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 4.245 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 3 → 5). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 4. At 37 Stepanenko is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Eyüpspor finished 15th of 18 · a lower-table side
4.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 17.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 37, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 4.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.25 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
