Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Velkov.
Judged on this season alone, Velkov graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 22nd of 29 of the 29 centre-backs in the 1. Division, on 2 clean sheets and 2.802 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 17). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 16th of 29 of the 29 centre-backs in the 1. Division. At 29 Velkov is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.4 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Velkov missed 11 games through injury (injury, yellow cards) out of roughly 32 this season. The 20 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 32.7, Velkov carries the 16th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 1. Division of 29. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~17), then tapers with age. At 29, Velkov sits on 9.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Velkov's projected Rating — 32.7 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.
