Clean sheets

4.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 10 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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. 4.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.1% 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 23.2, Özcan carries the 8th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 1. Lig of 15 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.54 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
