The well-known Ukrainian coach and expert Oleg Fedorchuk "inspected" the cost of the most expensive UPL Ukrainians, putting his own price tags on the players.
Oleg FedorchukViktor Tsygankov (Dynamo) Estimated value of Transfermarkt: 25 million euros. Estimated value of SofaScore: 26 million euros.
- Today's level of Tsygankov does not correspond to the level and cost of the players in his role. I think it costs around 12-15 million. Among his strengths, I will note a high level of technique, ease of handling the ball, fairly good speed and good performance.
The disadvantages include a low level of athleticism, poor participation in defensive actions and a weak level of aggression, which upsets me the most.
Where should Tsygankov go? His level is the middle of the Bundesliga or the leader of Belgium. England,
Ilya Zabarny (Dynamo) Estimated value of Transfermarkt: 15 million euros. Estimated value of SofaScore: 12 million euros
“His progress came as a surprise to many specialists. Zabarny was not even in the orbit of the youth teams, and the Dynamo coaches did not particularly favor him. But it so happened that he got a chance and he took it. Its cost ranges from 10 to 15 million, depending on the buyer.
I am impressed in Zabarny by his psychological stability - he was not in sight in the youth team, and a month later he was already playing qualifying matches for the main team of the country and Dynamo. He also has very good physical data. In addition, with a height of 189, he is quite fast. I think Zabarny is in the top 10 most promising defenders in Europe.
Among the shortcomings of Zabarny, I will name a few things. He still has something to work on in offensive actions, although he has noticeably improved in this regard over the year. He also needs to increase the level of aggression. He would have had Mikolenko's aggression, then Zabarny's price would have been much higher.
Where should Zabarny go? In the future, he is a Bundesliga or Premier League player. The example of Mikolenko and Zinchenko shows that our players can apply for some roles there if they are physically on the level.
But it's too early for Zabarny to move on. Whatever happens, as with Swede (Celtic) and Lunin (Real), when clubs can pay, but then they do not give match practice. This goes to the minus for the players.
Mikhail Mudryk (Shakhtar). Estimated value of Transfermarkt: 15 million euros. Estimated value of SofaScore: 4.2 million euros.
- Mudrik's price after each match ranges from 15 to 30 million. He is so atypical for our football that sometimes they see Neymar and Jesus in him, who can beat one on one. I think the price of Mudrik can go up to 45 million or go down to ten. Everything depends on him.
Mudrik's chip is speed and aggressiveness in attack. A big minus is that he does not always correctly determine where to play on his own and where with the team, and often abuses individual actions. The second minus is that he plays defense very modestly.
People like Mudrik are loved in Italy, especially Napoli. Napoli has always had a large galaxy of small players who have shone from Zola to current players. I think Mudrik would be useful to Napoli, especially since they have money now.
Mykola Matvienko (Shakhtar). Estimated value of Transfermarkt: 11 million euros. Estimated value of SofaScore: 10.3 million euros.
- Until recently, Matvienko cost much more, but a series of failures of the national team lowered his price. I think it was easier for him to play in the scheme with three defenders in the place of the left central defender. Matvienko has a good pass and works confidently with the ball, but he has drawbacks in terms of defense - this is a one-on-one game at the top. He lacks power.
Where should Matvienko go? It will not be easy for him in England, so my prediction is the championship of Germany, Portugal or Turkey. But now is not the time for him to cross. Matvienko is a fairly versatile football player and his price should be 20-25 million. To do this, he needs to rise to the proper level.
Nikolai Shaparenko (Dynamo). Estimated value of Transfermarkt: 10 million euros. Estimated value of SofaScore: 9.2 million euros.
- After such a serious injury, no one will take risks and sign Shaparenko. Nikolai needs to recover and play for at least a year. Based on my practice as a football player and coach, such injuries do not go unnoticed. This damage entails a loss of speed, and Shaparenko did not shine with speed qualities anyway.
He is a talented footballer, but you need to pause for him and let him recover calmly, and then it will be possible to talk about the price.
Where should Shaparenko go? His championship is one where there is no continuous struggle. These are Belgium, Portugal and Turkey, where creation and creativity are needed. I still don’t see Shaparenko in the top championships, where they play at high speeds and in a strong manner.
Georgy Bushchan (Dynamo). Estimated value of Transfermarkt: 10 million euros. Estimated value of SofaScore: 8.6 million euros.
- If we take the national team, then the goalkeepers are the most noticeable figures today, but this depends more on our weak game, and not on the strength of the goalkeepers. I think Buschan is not yet ready to play abroad. The example of Rybka is still fresh, who could not prove himself even in Turkey and Azerbaijan.
Moreover, Buschan has problems in playing with his feet and understanding with stalls. Therefore, difficult championships (the Premier League, the Bundesliga), where goalkeepers have long been playing with their feet like defenders, will definitely not suit him. The price of Bushchan ranges from six to ten million, depending on the buyer.
I think Bushchan should continue to stay at Dynamo. Shovkovsky's example is not the worst. Vaughn Rybka twitched, so what?
Anatoly Trubin (Shakhtar). Estimated value of Transfermarkt: 8 million euros. Estimated value of SofaScore: 8.5 million euros.
— Trubin has potential. He started well, but then, after the injury, he lost a little confidence. Now he has already stabilized his game, he looks good. But now it is too early for Trubin to move somewhere, he is not yet well known. Football players need to be sold when they are at their maximum height.
Trubin impresses me more than Bushchan. It is more versatile and younger. I think now he is higher and for Lunin. Lunin had good prospects, but in my opinion the choice of Real Madrid was reckless. Trubin must learn from the mistakes of others.
You need to think about selling Trubin to Shakhtar after 20 million, and now he is worth about ten million, so it's not time to sell him yet.
In England, goalkeepers look more like Joshua and Usyk than footballers. So far, I do not see Trubin's athleticism at the exits. Therefore, I think, now the championships of Belgium or Portugal will suit him.
Vitaly Buyalsky (Dynamo). Estimated value of Transfermarkt: 7 million euros. Estimated value of SofaScore: 6.8 million euros.
- Buyalsky declared that he did not have an agent. I understand that his agent is the president of Dynamo. And where did you see the president of the club who will sell the only player who makes him a result for seven million? Firstly, this is not a lot of money, and secondly, without Dynamo Buyalsky it will be difficult to beat even Rukh.
Moreover, the character of Buyalsky resembles Oleg Gusev. This is the type of home football player who is ready to work at Dynamo all his life without any special ambitions. You can see from Mudrik that he wants to leave with one foot. And Buyalsky is such a son of a regiment, a favorite of the president and fans.
Even the price of a substitute Dynamo player starts from three million euros. Therefore, the price of Buyalsky is five or six million.
Where should Buyalsky go? There is a proverb: "The best is the enemy of the good." You can leave and become nobody. I think any Belgian or Turkish club would gladly take a player like Buyalsky. He is universal. But I don't think he wants to go anywhere.
Artem Dovbik (Dnepr-1). Estimated value of Transfermarkt: 6 million euros. Estimated value of SofaScore: 4.6 million euros.
- I think the potential price of Dovbik is around 20-25 million. He was the best attacking player of the last championship, he is also the number one player in this championship. I will attribute to its pluses: high speed, outstanding physical data and a good left leg.
However, Dovbik has a number of shortcomings that may scare away potential buyers. He does not adapt so well to positional team play, it is easier for him to play on the open spaces in counterattacks.
Now its price is 15 million, so Dnipro-1 needs to wait for the moment when its value rises to 20-25 million. It is a pity that he does not play in the Champions League, then his price would immediately triple. It is a mystery to me why Dynamo and Shakhtar failed to sign Dovbik.
Dovbik can play in any top league because the shortage of such players is huge. It all depends on the style of the team. Arsenal and Manchester City's style of ball control is unlikely to suit Dovbik. But the more forceful style of Chelsea and Tottenham is quite.
Vladislav Supryaga (Dynamo) Estimated value of Transfermarkt: 2.5 million euros. Estimated value of SofaScore: 4.2 million euros
- Two and a half million for the world champion, a potential candidate for the national team, a Dynamo player is not a sum at all. The couple needs to do something to return herself to the breeders' radar orbit. The journalists did him a disservice, just like Kovalenko did in his time. Three years ago, Kovalenko was the "most promising" footballer in Ukraine, and now he cannot even become a leader in La Spezia.
In my opinion, Supryaga believed in his exclusivity and stopped fighting for himself. The strong point of the Supryaga is speed. In terms of quality, he reminds me of Dovbik, but Artem is more technical. The couple often does not find himself on the field and makes the wrong decisions, he needs to improve his literacy.
Potentially, Supryaga could cost 10-15 million, but these inexpressive leases have lowered its value. In addition, he had a huge chance when Dynamo had no competitors at all, but he did not use it. Zabarny jumped into the tram called "Success", but for some reason Supryaga hesitated, and the tram left.
Where should Supryaga go? All football players who are now in decline should hang a picture of Vardy above their bed. Jamie played in the seventh league, and then took up his mind, fell in love with a literate girl, became a collection and champion of England with Leicester.
The spouse needs a team where he will play and they will pray for him. If I were him, I would reduce my appetite and move to Alexandria, Minai, Ingulets, Vorskla. In these teams, he must become a leader, and only then go somewhere.
