E. Elmalı is a 26-year-old full-back at Galatasaray, rated 44.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 142nd of 720 in the 1. Lig. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (58.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.88 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Elmalı.
Judged on this season alone, Elmalı graded 28 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 129 full-backs in the 1. Lig, on 6 clean sheets and 2.882 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 28 → 28). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, top 24% of the 129 full-backs in the 1. Lig. At 26 Elmalı is in his prime years, and a market index of 28.7 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 44.8, Elmalı carries the 30th-highest potential of the full-backs in the 1. Lig (top 24%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~29), then tapers with age. At 26, Elmalı sits on 28.7, at or near its peak. The blue line is Elmalı's projected Rating — 44.8 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
