Clean sheets

3.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 14) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 8 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 69.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.5 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 33, 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 16.7, Ozdoev carries the 20th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Super League 1 of 25. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.19 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
