Caps & goals this season.
K. Despodov is a 29-year-old centre-forward at PAOK, rated 23.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 155th of 258 in the Super League 1. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28% of available minutes). He brings 0.45 goal contributions per 90 (0.34 goals, 0.11 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Despodov.
Judged on this season alone, Despodov graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 29 of the 29 centre-forwards in the Super League 1, on 3 goals and 1 assist in 18 appearances (0.446 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 13). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 14th of 29 of the 29 centre-forwards in the Super League 1. At 29 Despodov is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3 goals in 18 appearances (0.17 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.
With a Rating of 23.3, Despodov carries the 14th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Super League 1 of 29 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.45 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~10), then tapers with age. At 29, Despodov sits on 5.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Despodov's projected Rating — 23.3 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.
