Clean sheets

3.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Outlook

With a Rating of 51, Petkov carries the 2nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Pro League of 22 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
