Clean sheets

2.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 33 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 4 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.33 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Outlook

With a Rating of 27.1, Dost carries the 13th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the First League of 31, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Lokomotiv Sofia finished 11th 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 (2.5 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.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~5), then tapers with age. At 27, Dost sits on 4.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Dost's projected Rating — 27.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
