Clean sheets

4.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 18) 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 5 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 96.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Defensive volume. 4.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 51.3, Lochoshvili carries the 37th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga of 54, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (1. FC Köln finished 14th of 18) — 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 solid defensive volume (4.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.

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 (~33), then tapers with age. At 28, Lochoshvili sits on 19.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Lochoshvili's projected Rating — 51.3 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.
