Output in context · Sakaryaspor finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
1.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 14 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 17.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 30.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.56 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
