A young player, he has been an ever-present this season (83.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.5 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pestryakov.

Judged on this season alone, Pestryakov graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 43rd of 47 of the 47 full-backs in the Premier League, on 4 clean sheets and 1.495 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 9 → 12). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

Clean sheets

1.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (13th 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 5 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 83.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.5 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 37, Pestryakov carries the 1st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League (top 3%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Akron finished 13th 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 light defensive volume (1.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
