Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

A. Petkov is a 27-year-old central defender at Kifisia, rated 29.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 57th of 127 on scout potential in the Super League 1. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (52.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.39 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Petkov.

Judged on this season alone, Petkov graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 14th of 28 of the 28 centre-backs in the Super League 1, on 5 clean sheets and 2.392 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 14 → 17). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, top 36% of the 28 centre-backs in the Super League 1. At 27 Petkov is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (10th of 14) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 29.5, Petkov carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super League 1 (top 36%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Kifisia finished 10th of 14) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
