Scout report

Squad depthBall-winning Central midfielder

E. Tıknaz is a 21-year-old central midfielder at SC Braga, rated 60 overall by Field Insider's model. A young player, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.17 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tıknaz.

On the season, Tıknaz graded 14 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 1 assist and 4.168 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 48 → 14). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 60. At 21 Tıknaz is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 20.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Tıknaz missed 6 games through injury (knee, inactive) out of roughly 34 this season. The 10 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

4.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 18) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Defensive volume. 4.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 60 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.17 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.
