Squad depthCreative Full-back

Y. Konoplya is a 26-year-old full-back at Shakhtar Donetsk, rated 34.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 67th of 188 on scout potential in the Premier League. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.75 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Konoplya.

Judged on this season alone, Konoplya graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 16th of 39 of the 39 full-backs in the Premier League, on 4 clean sheets and 1.749 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, top 39% of the 39 full-backs in the Premier League. At 26 Konoplya is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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: 0.4 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.8% 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 34.7, Konoplya carries the 15th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League of 39 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.75 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
