  • Game time. Only 43.6% 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 30.8, Çelik carries the 35th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 1. Lig of 58 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
