Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 5 → 3).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 15th of 29 of the 29 central midfielders in the First League. At 26 Iliev is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
1.35 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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.
With a Rating of 25.8, Iliev carries the 15th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the First League of 29 — though on just 24 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.35 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.

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 (~8), then tapers with age. At 26, Iliev sits on 8.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Iliev's projected Rating — 25.8 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.
