In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22% of available minutes). He brings 0.37 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.12 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yankov.
Judged on this season alone, Yankov graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 44 of the 44 attacking midfielders in the First League, on 2 goals and 1 assist in 14 appearances (0.368 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 9 → 9).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 22nd of 44 of the 44 attacking midfielders in the First League. At 26 Yankov is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Yankov missed 6 games through injury (groin) out of roughly 37 this season. The 14 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.

Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.37 goal contributions per 90 (0.25 goals, 0.12 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 22% 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 26.8, Yankov carries the 22nd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the First League of 44 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.37 goal contributions 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.
