Domestic-league season · Septemvri Sofia.
S. Stoichkov is a 22-year-old central midfielder at Septemvri Sofia, rated 28.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 84th of 241 in the First League and 2607th of 2861 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (19.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Stoichkov.
Judged on this season alone, Stoichkov graded 2 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 29 of the 29 central midfielders in the First League, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 0.798 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Stoichkov, 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 28, top 18% of the 29 central midfielders in the First League. At 22 Stoichkov is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 8.5 reflects that trajectory.
0.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (14th 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.
With a Rating of 28.1, Stoichkov carries the 5th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the First League of 29 — though on just 26 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~9), then tapers with age. At 22, Stoichkov sits on 8.5, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Stoichkov's projected Rating — 28.1 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.
