Output in context · Lokomotiv Sofia finished 11th of 16 · a lower-table side
4 clean sheets in 28 appearances (14% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (11th of 16) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 43.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 27.1, Velichkov carries the 7th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the First League (top 35%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Lokomotiv Sofia finished 11th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
