Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 20 → 30). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 39th of 51 of the 51 defensive midfielders in the Czech Liga. At 30 Kostadinov is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 13 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.54 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.4 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 49.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.61 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.1, Kostadinov carries the 39th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Czech Liga of 51 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
