Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

A. Makarchuk is a 30-year-old central midfielder at FC Sochi, rated 14.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 250th of 274 on scout potential in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (38% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.09 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Makarchuk.

Judged on this season alone, Makarchuk graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 49 of the 49 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 2.085 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 44th of 49 of the 49 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 30 Makarchuk is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 18 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 16) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 38% 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 14.9, Makarchuk carries the 44th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 49, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (FC Sochi finished 16th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
