4.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 8 appearances.

Strengths

Defensive volume. 4.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 88.6/100).
Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

Game time. Only 12.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 67 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.26 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~42), then tapers with age. At 22, Goglichidze sits on 39.4, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Goglichidze's projected Rating — 67 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.
