Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.2 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 31.1, Iliev carries the 11th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the First League of 44 — though on just 30 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.2 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
