V. Grulev is a 27-year-old centre-forward at Nizhny Novgorod, rated 23.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 184th of 274 in the Premier League. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.8% of available minutes). He brings 0.29 goal contributions per 90 (0.29 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Grulev.
Judged on this season alone, Grulev graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 31 of the 31 centre-forwards in the Premier League, on 3 goals and 0 assists in 21 appearances (0.287 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 15 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 19th of 31 of the 31 centre-forwards in the Premier League. At 27 Grulev is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3 goals in 21 appearances (0.14 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
With a Rating of 23.1, Grulev carries the 19th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Premier League of 31, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Nizhny Novgorod finished 15th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.29 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~7), then tapers with age. At 27, Grulev sits on 6.9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Grulev's projected Rating — 23.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
