Output in context · Lokomotiv Plovdiv finished 5th of 16 · an upper-table side
2.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 32.9% 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 31.6, Ali carries the 5th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the First League (top 21%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
