Outlook
With a Rating of 70.5, Yilmaz carries the 28th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Bundesliga of 59. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.23 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
