In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.6 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yankov.
Judged on this season alone, Yankov graded 13 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 24 central midfielders in the First League, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 1.596 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 13).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, top 25% of the 24 central midfielders in the First League. At 26 Yankov is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.2 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.
Yankov is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Lokomotiv Sofia finished 11th of 16 · a lower-table side
1.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 14 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.37 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 26.3% 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 27.4, Yankov carries the 6th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the First League of 24 — though on just 14 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.6 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.
