Scout report

Project playerCentral midfielder

Show is a 27-year-old central midfielder at Kocaelispor, rated 40.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 115th of 326 on scout potential in the Süper Lig. In his prime years, he has been an ever-present this season (86.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.33 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Show.

Judged on this season alone, Show graded 22 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 29 central midfielders in the Süper Lig, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.329 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 22). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, top 32% of the 29 central midfielders in the Süper Lig. At 27 Show is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Show missed 8 games through injury and 1 suspension (illness, yellow cards, international duty) out of roughly 34 this season. The 30 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.
