Scout report
B. Yılmaz is a 30-year-old central defender at Hatayspor, rated 17.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 77th of 105 on scout potential in the 1. Lig. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (40.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.14 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yılmaz.
Judged on this season alone, Yılmaz graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 28 of the 28 centre-backs in the 1. Lig, on 0 clean sheets and 3.14 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 16 → 6). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 21st of 28 of the 28 centre-backs in the 1. Lig. At 30 Yılmaz is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Hatayspor finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
3.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 18 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 40.2% 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 17.8, Yılmaz carries the 21st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 1. Lig of 28, 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 moderate defensive volume (3.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
