Output in context · Spartak Varna finished 12th of 16 · a lower-table side
5 clean sheets in 27 appearances (19% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (12th of 16) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 48.9% 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 27.4, Kovalev carries the 7th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the First League (top 32%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Spartak Varna finished 12th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
