Clean sheets

3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (11th of 16) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 96.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 39.2, Kurtulus carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Allsvenskan (top 2%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Halmstad finished 11th of 16) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.65 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.
