Watch points

  • Game time. Only 23.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.24 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33.4, Panayotov carries the 6th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the First League of 40 — though on just 31 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.24 goal contributions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
