Squad depthAttacking midfielder

S. Kovachev is a 28-year-old attacking midfielder at Arda Kardzhali, rated 22 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 165th of 252 on scout potential in the First League. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.33 goal contributions per 90 (0.08 goals, 0.25 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kovachev.

Judged on this season alone, Kovachev graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 44 of the 44 attacking midfielders in the First League, on 1 goal and 3 assists in 29 appearances (0.332 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 11). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 30th of 44 of the 44 attacking midfielders in the First League. At 28 Kovachev is in his prime years, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.

1 goal in 29 appearances (0.03 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 4 goal contributions (0.14 per appearance).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33.5% 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 22, Kovachev carries the 30th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the First League of 44. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.33 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
