Scout report

Squad depthCentral defender

O. Ba is a 30-year-old central defender at Başakşehir, rated 24.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 248th of 326 on scout potential in the Süper Lig. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (39.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.37 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ba.

Judged on this season alone, Ba graded 23 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 50 of the 50 centre-backs in the Süper Lig, on 5 clean sheets and 3.37 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 25 → 23). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 39th of 50 of the 50 centre-backs in the Süper Lig. At 30 Ba is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 17 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.2% 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 24.4, Ba carries the 39th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Süper Lig of 50. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
