Judged on this season alone, Vityugov graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 17th of 27 of the 27 defensive midfielders in the Premier League, on 3 goals, 2 assists and 2.74 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 23). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 20th of 27 of the 27 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 28 Vityugov is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Vityugov missed 3 games through injury (muscle, inactive) out of roughly 30 this season. The 18 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
A career still climbing — Vityugov is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Krylia Sovetov finished 11th of 16 · a lower-table side
2.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.51 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 36.5% 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 22.5, Vityugov carries the 20th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 27 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
