Experienced headAttacking midfielder

E. Akbaba is a 33-year-old attacking midfielder at Eyüpspor, enjoying a standout season — 4 goals and 0 assists in 23 appearances, a Season grade of 17, top 76% of Süper Lig attacking midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 13.4, ranking 318th of 326 in the Süper Lig. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (37.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.36 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Akbaba.

Judged on this season alone, Akbaba graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 58 of the 58 attacking midfielders in the Süper Lig, on 4 goals and 0 assists in 23 appearances (0.356 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 30 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 57th of 58 of the 58 attacking midfielders in the Süper Lig. At 33 Akbaba is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Akbaba missed 4 games through injury (broken leg) out of roughly 34 this season. The 23 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.

Goals / app

4 goals in 23 appearances (0.17 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.36 goals, 0 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Defensive volume. 3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 13.4, Akbaba carries the 57th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Süper Lig of 58, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Eyüpspor finished 15th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.36 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
