On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 29th of 31 of the 31 defensive midfielders in the First League. At 33 Chochev is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.
2.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 37 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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. Going forward he chipped in 12 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 11.9, Chochev carries the 29th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the First League of 31. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).

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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 33, Chochev sits on 1.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Chochev's projected Rating — 11.9 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.
