Clean sheets

2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th of 16) 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 41.3% 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 31.3, Yordanov carries the 7th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the First League (top 30%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Spartak Varna finished 12th of 16) — 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 (2.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
