Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kartal.
Judged on this season alone, Kartal graded 19 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 58 of the 58 centre-backs in the 1. Lig, on 3 clean sheets and 2.398 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Kartal, 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 36, top 33% of the 58 centre-backs in the 1. Lig. At 21 Kartal is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 4.9 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Ümraniyespor finished 15th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 9 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 46.1% 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 36.2, Kartal carries the 19th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 1. Lig of 58 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.4 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
