Why we like him
The clearest edge here is availability and minutes: Morozov is a regular starter for Lokomotiv and has averaged about 84 minutes per outing, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so you get a high floor from his place in the Starting XI. He also brings a bit of upside on set pieces and chance creation for a centre back, with two assists and 1.11 expected assists on the season plus a handful of headed attempts that show he can pick up attacking returns. The matchup amplifies that upside, Akron conceded 53 goals last season (about 1.77 per game), and Lokomotiv host them next at the RZD Arena, so Morozov has a reasonable probability of bonus points even if a clean sheet is not certain; Sorare Edge gives him a high projection (79.9) and model confidence is medium, which makes him a sensible starter if you want steady minutes and a ceiling tied to set-piece involvement.
