Clean sheets

1.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 29.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 6.8, Kokonov carries the 32nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the First League of 33, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Montana finished 16th 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 light defensive volume (1.36 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
