K. Kalafat is a 25-year-old central defender at Pendikspor, rated 32.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 88th of 224 on scout potential in the 1. Lig. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (41.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.55 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kalafat.

Judged on this season alone, Kalafat graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 38th of 58 of the 58 centre-backs in the 1. Lig, on 1 clean sheet and 2.546 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 6 → 8). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 33rd of 58 of the 58 centre-backs in the 1. Lig. At 25 Kalafat is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.3% 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 32.4, Kalafat carries the 33rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 1. Lig of 58 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
