Clean sheets

3.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 11 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) 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 0 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 64.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
  • Defensive volume. 3.87 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 35.6, Şen carries the 4th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 1. Lig (top 9%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.87 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.
