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 workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 62 of the 62 full-backs in the Süper 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 31% of the 62 full-backs in the Süper Lig. At 26 Elmalı is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.7 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Galatasaray finished 1st of 18 · a title-challenging side
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.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 58.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 44.8, Elmalı carries the 19th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Süper Lig (top 31%). 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.
