Squad depthCentral midfielder

S. Pinyaev is a 21-year-old central midfielder at Lokomotiv, rated 32 overall by Field Insider's model. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.94 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pinyaev.

On the season, Pinyaev graded 11 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal, 0 assists and 1.944 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 32. At 21 Pinyaev is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 3.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Pinyaev missed 14 games through injury (muscle, muscle bruise, muscle stiffness) out of roughly 30 this season. The 12 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.

Clean sheets

1.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 22.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 32 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
