Judged on this season alone, Balcı graded 35 — a strong campaign that ranks top 17% of the 62 full-backs in the Süper Lig, on 7 clean sheets and 3.941 defensive actions per 90.

Clean sheets

3.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) 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 0 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 76.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 3.94 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 43.7, Balcı carries the 20th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Süper Lig (top 33%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Antalyaspor finished 16th of 18) — 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 (3.94 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.
