Clean sheets

4.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 33 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 3 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 57.9% 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 31.6, Vasiljev carries the 10th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League (top 21%), 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 solid defensive volume (4.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
