Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ali.
Judged on this season alone, Ali graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 40th of 43 of the 43 full-backs in the First League, on 2 clean sheets and 2.326 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Ali, 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 13, 40th of 43 of the 43 full-backs in the First League. At 31 Ali is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Lokomotiv Sofia finished 11th of 16 · a lower-table side
2.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 23.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 13, Ali carries the 40th-highest potential of the full-backs in the First League of 43 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.33 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
