E. Akbaba is a 33-year-old central midfielder at Eyüpspor, enjoying a standout season — 4 goals and 0 assists in 23 appearances, a Season grade of 23. On long-term scout potential he's rated 12.9. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (33% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.92 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Akbaba.
On the season, Akbaba graded 23 for current form (age-blind), on 4 goals, 0 assists and 3.921 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 15 → 15). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13. At 33 Akbaba is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Eyüpspor finished 15th of 18 · a lower-table side
3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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 4 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.36 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 33% 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
Rated 12.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
