Scout report
I. Iliev is a 26-year-old central midfielder at CSKA Sofia, rated 25.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 127th of 252 on scout potential in the First League. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.35 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Iliev.
Judged on this season alone, Iliev graded 2 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 33 of the 33 central midfielders in the First League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 1.35 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 5 → 2).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 18th of 33 of the 33 central midfielders in the First League. At 26 Iliev is in his prime years, and a market index of 3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · CSKA Sofia finished 4th of 16 · an upper-table side
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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 18.5% 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 25.8, Iliev carries the 18th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the First League of 33 — 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.
