Clean sheets

1.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 2 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) 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.

Outlook

Rated 16.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~1), then tapers with age. At 29, Makarov sits on 0.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Makarov's projected Rating — 16.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
