Clean sheets

1.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 8 goals and 11 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 75.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.74 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Creativity. 0.43 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.

Watch points

Defensive numbers. Modest 1.01 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

Rated 50.1 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~19), then tapers with age. At 26, Yılmaz sits on 19.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Yılmaz's projected Rating — 50.1 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.
