Across 27 matches almost entirely as a replacement, Melikidze's tackle count stands out as his defining contribution — averaging nearly five per game and peaking at 11 in a single outing, he consistently makes a defensive impact in limited minutes. His carrying numbers are modest by design, reflecting the controlled, high-intensity role of a finisher rather than a ball-carrier, though his best games show he can combine physical defence with purposeful metres when called upon.
