Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

Y. Kopyna is a 30-year-old central defender at Ruh Lviv, rated 17.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 156th of 188 on scout potential in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.74 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kopyna.

Judged on this season alone, Kopyna graded 4 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 36th of 38 of the 38 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 1 clean sheet and 1.744 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 2 → 4). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 33rd of 38 of the 38 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 30 Kopyna is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 19 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th of 16) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 17.9, Kopyna carries the 33rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 38 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
