Clean sheets

3.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 6) 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 3 goals and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.42 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 3.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 59.7% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 36.5, Mekvabishvili carries the 2nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Liga I (top 5%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.73 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
