Scout report
V. Grulev is a 27-year-old centre-forward at Nizhny Novgorod, rated 23.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 184th of 274 on scout potential in the Premier League. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.8% 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 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 31 of the 31 centre-forwards in the Premier 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 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 19th of 31 of the 31 centre-forwards in the Premier League. At 27 Grulev is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Nizhny Novgorod finished 15th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
3 goals in 21 appearances (0.14 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 34.8% 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 23.1, Grulev carries the 19th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Premier League of 31, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Nizhny Novgorod finished 15th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. 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.
