Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
High-volume carrier and defensive workhorse

Across 20 appearances predominantly off the bench, Shvangiradze consistently contributes in both directions — averaging over ten tackles per match points to a player who makes an immediate defensive impact when introduced. His carrying numbers are equally telling, with a peak of 13 carries and 54 metres in a single game showing he can take the ball forward with real intent when called upon. That combination of reliable tackling output and active ball-carrying makes him a functional, high-impact replacement option.
