Goals / app

2 goals in 16 appearances (0.13 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.59 goal contributions per 90 (0.29 goals, 0.29 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 18.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 37, 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 3.6, Iliev carries the 44th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the First League of 44 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.59 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
