Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 0 → 3).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 16th of 30 of the 30 centre-backs in the 1. Lig. At 19 Yildiz is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 3.9 reflects that trajectory.
Yildiz is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Adana Demirspor finished 20th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 13 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th of 20) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 18.5% 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 32.4, Yildiz carries the 16th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 1. Lig of 30 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
