Scout report
O. Ba is a 30-year-old central defender at Başakşehir, rated 23.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 64th of 91 on scout potential in the Süper Lig. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (35.8% 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 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 8th of 18 of the 18 centre-backs in the Süper Lig, on 5 clean sheets and 3.37 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 25 → 21). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 12th of 18 of the 18 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 4.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Başakşehir finished 5th of 18 · an upper-table side
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 35.8% 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 23.9, Ba carries the 12th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Süper Lig of 18. 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).
