Output in context · İstanbulspor finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
1.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) 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 3 goals and 8 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 63.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.53 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.38 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.83 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 22.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
