Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Neychev.
Judged on this season alone, Neychev graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 46 of the 46 centre-backs in the First League, on 2 clean sheets and 2.668 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Neychev, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, top 24% of the 46 centre-backs in the First League. At 22 Neychev is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 3.2 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Lokomotiv Sofia finished 11th of 16 · a lower-table side
2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 16) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 22.3% 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 29.2, Neychev carries the 11th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the First League of 46 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.67 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
