Output in context · LNZ Cherkasy finished 2nd of 16 · a title-challenging side
1.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 57% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.23 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 42.2, Pastukh carries the 1st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League (top 3%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
