Outlook

With a Rating of 3.6, Iliev carries the 44th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the First League of 44 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.59 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).

Value & potential by age

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 22–27 (~1), then tapers with age. At 37, Iliev sits on 0.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Iliev's projected Rating — 3.6 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.
