Husniddin Aliqulov

Husniddin Aliqulov is Çaykur Rizespor’s Bronze utility profile. The 27-year-old Uzbek centre-back has no trophies on his CV yet, but his move from Nasaf Qarshi to the Black Sea is a clear step up. Right-footed, 1.86m tall, he offers a no-nonsense, plug-and-play option across the back line.

The story of his season is simple: a versatile contributor in a small sample. With only 7 appearances and 427 minutes, the book on him is still being written, so any verdict has to stay open-minded. Within those minutes he has kept his discipline, avoided cards and accepted whatever role is asked, exactly what you want from a utility defender. His overall level sits in the low 60s, matching his season ability, while his form is neither flying nor slumping, just holding steady. The standout in his pentagon is Workrate, and it shows: he covers ground, competes in duels and helps maintain the team’s Balance in higher Stakes matches.

Valued around €2M with a downward trend, he feels a touch undervalued rather than exposed. A run of starts and a couple of strong showings in crunch matches could easily flip that curve and turn him from depth piece into a more talked-about asset.
