In the RPL there are only two rounds left before the winter break. But now we can find out which teams trust young players more than others. Our list includes footballers under the age of 21, inclusive, who have a Russian passport. Additionally, we included only those guys who played at least more than 10 minutes.
Who can be called the best young player in the RPL? Up to you:
Classification
The best young player of the first round of the RPL. New CSKA star or Karpin’s defender again?
Akhmat: 0 players, 0 minutes
Formally, the Grozny club gave time to a young footballer. In the match of the first round of the RPL, 19-year-old midfielder Magomed Yakuev took part against Krylya Sovetov (1:2). But he appeared in added time and did not fit into our criteria, since he was on the field for less than 10 minutes.
“Fakel”: two players, 76 minutes
“Fakel” has a slightly better situation than “Akhmat”, but it cannot be called ideal either. Two young footballers from the Voronezh club appeared on the field six times, but in total they spent only 76 minutes.
Abdula Bagamaev, 19 years old (50 minutes) Matvey Ivakhnov, 20 years old (26 minutes)
Bagamaev hasn’t entered the field since September, and Ivakhnov has only entered the field twice in 16 rounds. By the way, in the last game against Rubin he was entrusted with four minutes (0-1).
Zenit: two players, 186 minutes
Kovalenko gets a stable playing practice in the Cup (he appeared in the starting lineup four times), but he hardly plays in the RPL. In 16 rounds, Alexander never entered the starting lineup and ran only 44 minutes. As a rule, he launches last. In the match against Sochi he played 21 minutes, the best result of the season.
Dmitry Vasiliev, 19 years old (142 minutes) Alexander Kovalenko, 20 years old (44 minutes)
As for Vasiliev, he appeared in the starting eleven once, in the match against Fakel (2:0). Otherwise, the boy is periodically released in the finals.

Orenburg: 3 players, 207 minutes
Mikhailov started this season at Paris NN and, after moving to Orenburg, plays very rarely. For now, the player whose rights belong to Zenit sits in the reserve team more often than he goes out on the field.
Andrey Khodanovich, 19 years old (90 minutes) Yaroslav Mikhailov, 20 years old (72 minutes) Danil Khotulev, 21 years old (45 minutes)
Jotulev and Jodanovich entered the field only once each. At the same time, the 19-year-old footballer played the entire match and the 21-year-old played 45 minutes.
Baltika: 2 players, 568 minutes
Kaliningrads surpassed the 500-minute mark thanks to the efforts of one footballer. Pryakhin played in the starting lineup six times, but was recently benched.
Sergey Pryakhin, 20 years old (534 minutes) Tigran Avanesyan, 21 years old (34 minutes)
Avanesyan was released three times in RPL matches, but in the end he made it. At the same time, Tigran has not played since September.

CSKA: 4 players, 794 minutes
Another top RPL club that hasn’t surpassed the 1000 minute mark. True, unlike Zenit, the military team used four players. There could have been six people on the roster, but Yaroslav Arbuzov ran only eight minutes and Matvey Kislyak came on alone in extra time.
Mikhail Ryadno, 18 years old (275 minutes) Vladislav Torop, 20 years old (270 minutes) Kirill Glebov, 18 years old (179 minutes) Nikita Ermakov, 20 years old (70 minutes)
At the beginning of the season, many were impressed by the performance of defender Ryadno, who regularly appeared on the field in the first five rounds. But the boy was never given a chance.

“Ural”: 4 players, 1158 minutes
Of the four young players, Ural will no longer be able to use Zheleznov this season, who went to the second team of Krasnodar.
Igor Dmitriev, 19 years old (476 minutes) Ilya Ishkov, 18 years old (364 minutes) Fanil Sungatulin, 21 years old (251 minutes) Yuri Zheleznov, 21 years old (67 minutes)
Ishkov and Dmitriev didn’t spend much time on the course, but they play almost every round. Sometimes in the starting eleven.
The Urals defender was included in the RPL Tour team:
Team of the 16th round of the RPL. Three Spartak players and Dynamo heroes at the same time
Spartak: 2 players, 1237 minutes
The rojiblancos are in the middle of the table in terms of number of minutes played among young footballers. However, they achieved this result thanks to the efforts of one player. Denisov is third in the team in terms of time in the RPL. Only Quincy Promes and Alexis Duarte appear on the field more frequently than him.
Daniil Denisov, 21 years old (1157 minutes) Pavel Meleshin, 19 years old (80 minutes)
Meleshin is almost always in reserve, although Spartak has problems with the number of central forwards.

Rubin: 3 players, 1340 minutes
Of the three Kazan youngsters, Bezrukov has recently fallen out of favor. At the beginning of the season he barely played, but now he is a starter for six straight rounds.
Ilya Rozhkov, 18 years old (576 minutes) Ruslan Bezrukov, 21 years old (534 minutes) Daniil Kuznetsov, 20 years old (230 minutes)
But the other two players have not been on the field for a long time. Kuznetsov hasn’t played since August, Rozhkov since September.
Tactical analysis of Rubin’s latest successes:
The best fall defense in the RPL. How Rakhimov’s team has been drying everyone out for two months
Paris NN: 4 players, 1436 minutes
It is important to note that Mikhailov is no longer part of Pari NN. After several rounds, Yaroslav left the team and went to Orenburg, where he rarely plays.
Viktor Alexandrov, 21 years old (1094 minutes) Yaroslav Mikhailov, 20 years old (233 minutes) Nikolay Tolstopyatov, 21 years old (111 minutes) Mikhail Shnaptsev, 19 years old (98 minutes)
It is worth highlighting the Aleksandrov indicator, which has already exceeded the 1000-minute mark. According to this indicator, he ranks sixth in the team and fifth among field players.

Sochi: 4 players, 1665 minutes
The Black Sea Club has a relatively high score thanks to Kravtsov. The midfielder played almost 1,000 minutes. It is already impossible to imagine the Sochi squad without this player. If Kravtsov plays, he regularly appears in the starting eleven.
Kirill Kravtsov, 21 years old (955 minutes) Amir Batyrev, 21 years old (583 minutes) Danil Anosov, 18 years old (69 minutes) Timofey Shipunov, 20 years old (58 minutes)
As for Batyrev, this season he entered the field 12 times. In addition, in six cases he was released on the field in the starting eleven.
Dinamo: 7 players, 2089 minutes
The blue and white team has the best record in the league in terms of number of players participating in the under-21 category. But there is an important nuance here. Neither Sazonov nor Zakharyan are already on the team, and Kutitsky has been out of the lineup in recent weeks due to injury.
Konstantin Tyukavin, 21 years old (1213 minutes) Yaroslav Gladyshev, 20 years old (281 minutes) Stanislav Bessmertny, 19 years old (213 minutes) Arsen Zakharyan, 20 years old (199 minutes) Saba Sazonov, 21 years old (85 minutes) Ivan Lepsky, 18 years old (71 minutes) Alexander Kutitsky, 21 years old (27 minutes)
After Zakharyan’s departure, it was quite predictable that Tyukavin would become the leader among young players. Konstantin has already scored seven goals, the best result on the team.

Lokomotiv: 3 players, 2232 minutes
The railroaders reached 2000 minutes thanks to the three-player game. At the same time, Pogostnov has not entered the field for three months.
Artyom Karpukas, 21 years old (960 minutes) Sergey Pinyaev, 19 years old (935 minutes) Egor Pogostnov, 19 years old (337 minutes)
But the other two players take the field quite frequently. It’s hard to imagine Loko’s center field without Karpukas, and Pinyaev regularly finds himself in the starting lineup.

Krylya Sovetov: 3 players, 2318 minutes
The Samara team is in the top three. This season there have been three players in the under-21 category, and each of them has spent more than 500 minutes on the field.
Nikita Saltykov, 19 years old (1140 minutes) Vladislav Shitov, 20 years old (656 minutes) Sergey Babkin, 21 years old (522 minutes)
Saltykov regularly takes to the field in the starting eleven. He ranks sixth on the team in minutes.

Rostov: 5 players, 2411 minutes
In the Don club, Melyokhin’s indicator attracts attention. Most of the time, only captain Danil Glebov and goalkeeper Sergei Pesyakov took the field for Rostov.
Victor Melekhin, 19 years old (1340 minutes) Kirill Shchetinin, 21 years old (578 minutes) Andrey Langovich, 20 years old (408 minutes) Ivan Komarov, 20 years old (47 minutes) David Semenchuk, 19 years old (38 minutes)
The rest of the players have much more modest numbers. But at the same time, Rostov used five young footballers at once.

Krasnodar: 5 players, 2484 minutes
The “bulls” are slightly ahead of “Rostov” largely due to the fact that they have two “thousands” in their team. Both Volkov and Krivtsov became important players in one of the leaders of the championship.
Sergey Volkov, 21 years old (1124 minutes) Nikita Krivtsov, 21 years old (1122 minutes) Georgy Harutyunyan, 19 years old (135 minutes) Alexander Koksharov, 18 years old (58 minutes) Stanislav Agkatsev, 21 years old (45 minutes)
The rest of Krasnodar’s youth is modest. Agkatsev entered the field only in the previous round due to Matvey Safonov’s injury. By the way, Harutyunyan also appeared in the same match, since Vitor Tormena did not even finish playing before the break.
