Clean sheets

3.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.
Defensive volume. 3.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Game time. Only 37.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 46 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.61 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~11), then tapers with age. At 23, Karataş sits on 10.6, at or near its peak. The blue line is Karataş's projected Rating — 46 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.
