We hold a single season for Kostov, 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 50, top 2% of the 56 central midfielders in the Super Liga. At 18 Kostov is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 9.9 reflects that trajectory.
1.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 12 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 8) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 12 goals and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 50.2, Kostov carries the 1st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Super Liga (top 2%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.78 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 18 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (100/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 18, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
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 (~13), then tapers with age. At 18, Kostov sits on 9.9, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Kostov's projected Rating — 50.2 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.
