Önal is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
1.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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 7 goals and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 77.6, Önal carries the 6th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Eredivisie (top 15%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, 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 (~99), then tapers with age. At 22, Önal sits on 94.4, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Önal's projected Rating — 77.6 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.
