İ. Gündoğan is a 35-year-old defensive midfielder at Galatasaray, rated 14.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 661st of 720 in the 1. Lig. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (50.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.57 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gündoğan.
Judged on this season alone, Gündoğan graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 43rd of 86 of the 86 defensive midfielders in the 1. Lig, on 2 goals, 3 assists and 2.573 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 33 → 26). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 84th of 86 of the 86 defensive midfielders in the 1. Lig. At 35 Gündoğan is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Gündoğan missed 3 games through injury (calf) out of roughly 34 this season. The 24 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.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 24 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 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 14.9, Gündoğan carries the 84th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 1. Lig of 86. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.57 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

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 (~10), then tapers with age. At 35, Gündoğan sits on 2.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Gündoğan's projected Rating — 14.9 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.
