Judged on this season alone, Gönülaçar graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 7th of 12 of the 12 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 13, 11th of 12 of the 12 defensive midfielders in the 1. Lig. At 32 Gönülaçar is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 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 32, 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 12.5, Gönülaçar carries the 11th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 1. Lig of 12, 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 (0.8× and falling).
