Judged on this season alone, Gönülaçar graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 5th of 9 of the 9 defensive midfielders in the 1. Lig, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 5.073 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Gönülaçar, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 8th of 9 of the 9 defensive midfielders in the 1. Lig. At 31 Gönülaçar is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.7 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Hatayspor finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
5.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.15 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 5.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 34.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 14.7, Gönülaçar carries the 8th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 1. Lig of 9, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Hatayspor finished 19th of 20) — 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 high defensive volume (5.07 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
