On long-term talent our Rating reads 30. At 21 Saltykov is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 3 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Lokomotiv finished 3rd of 16 · an upper-table side
2.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 16) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.35 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 9.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 30.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
