Output in context · Esenler Erokspor finished 3rd of 20 · an upper-table side
1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) 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 7 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.76 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.35 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 43.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 19.2 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
