On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, top 38% of the 54 central midfielders in the Super League 1. At 26 Atanasov is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Larisa finished 12th of 14 · a relegation-threatened side
1.96 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 14) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 69.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.96 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 33.5, Atanasov carries the 20th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super League 1 (top 38%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Larisa finished 12th of 14) — 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 (1.96 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.
