Output in context · İstanbulspor finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
5.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 6 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 5.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 8.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 9.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.79 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
