Scout report
M. Talovierov is a 26-year-old central defender at Stoke City, rated 51.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 289th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.3 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Talovierov.
Judged on this season alone, Talovierov graded 24 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 48th of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship, on 4 clean sheets and 5.303 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 24).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 52, 44th of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship. At 26 Talovierov is in his prime years, and a market index of 23.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Talovierov missed 8 games through injury (ankle, unfit) out of roughly 46 this season. The 16 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 — Talovierov is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Stoke City finished 17th of 24 · a lower-table side
5.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 24) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 5.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 34.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 51.9, Talovierov carries the 44th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 82, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Stoke City finished 17th of 24) — 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 high defensive volume (5.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
