Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

V. Grulev is a 27-year-old centre-forward at Nizhny Novgorod, rated 21.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 17th of 29 on scout potential in the First League. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (49.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.29 goal contributions per 90 (0.29 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Grulev.

Judged on this season alone, Grulev graded 16 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 2nd of 3 of the 3 centre-forwards in the First League, on 3 goals and 0 assists in 21 appearances (0.287 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 15 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 2nd of 3 of the 3 centre-forwards in the First League. At 27 Grulev is in his prime years, and a market index of 2 reflects that trajectory.

3 goals in 21 appearances (0.14 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 49.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.29 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 21.6, Grulev carries the 2nd-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the First League of 3. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.29 goal contributions 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.
