Scout report

Project playerDefensive midfielder

V. Saus is a 23-year-old defensive midfielder at Baltika, rated 34.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 27th of 274 on scout potential in the Premier League. An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (64.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.61 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Saus.

Judged on this season alone, Saus graded 28 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 11th of 27 of the 27 defensive midfielders in the Premier League, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 3.607 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 28). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, top 15% of the 27 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 23 Saus is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Saus missed 3 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 30 this season. The 20 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.
