Clean sheets

4.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 13 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 79.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Defensive volume. 4.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 52.7 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~17), then tapers with age. At 23, Kurtulan sits on 17.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Kurtulan's projected Rating — 52.7 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
