Clean sheets

1.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th of 18) 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. Going forward he chipped in 7 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 89.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.31 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Defensive numbers. Modest 1.92 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 37.8, Bénes carries the 12th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Süper Lig of 29, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Kayserispor finished 17th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~15), then tapers with age. At 28, Bénes sits on 8.7, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Bénes's projected Rating — 37.8 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.
