Scout report

Project playerCentral midfielder

O. Kemen is a 30-year-old central midfielder at Başakşehir, rated 30.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 72nd of 125 on scout potential in the Süper Lig. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (75.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.04 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kemen.

Judged on this season alone, Kemen graded 25 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 11th of 26 of the 26 central midfielders in the Süper Lig, on 0 goals, 3 assists and 2.037 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 25 → 25). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 17th of 26 of the 26 central midfielders in the Süper Lig. At 30 Kemen is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 75.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 30.5, Kemen carries the 17th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Süper Lig of 26. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
