An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (66.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.45 goal contributions per 90 (0.17 goals, 0.28 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bakaev.
Judged on this season alone, Bakaev graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 17th of 40 of the 40 attacking midfielders in the Premier League, on 3 goals and 5 assists in 25 appearances (0.446 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 28 → 26). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 37th of 40 of the 40 attacking midfielders in the Premier League. At 30 Bakaev is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3 goals in 25 appearances (0.12 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 5 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 8 goal contributions (0.32 per appearance).
With a Rating of 20.7, Bakaev carries the 37th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League of 40. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.45 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 30, Bakaev sits on 3.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Bakaev's projected Rating — 20.7 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.
