On long-term scout potential he's rated 9.3, ranking 268th of 274 in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (49.5% of available minutes).

Judged on this season alone, Kabutov graded 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 27 of the 27 defensive midfielders in the Premier League, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 3.5 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 22). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 9, 27th of 27 of the 27 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 34 Kabutov is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

- Defensive volume. 3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 49.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
