Clean sheets

4.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 13 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 13.7, Gritsaenko carries the 47th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 48 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
