2 clean sheets in 9 appearances (22% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (11th of 16) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

Game time. Only 18.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 12.1, Lyubenov carries the 16th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the First League of 20 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~1), then tapers with age. At 31, Lyubenov sits on 0.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Lyubenov's projected Rating — 12.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
