A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.37 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Çiftpınar.
On the season, Çiftpınar graded 3 for current form (age-blind), on 1 clean sheet and 1.368 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 11 → 3). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 9. At 33 Çiftpınar is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Sakaryaspor finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
1.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th 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 29.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 9.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
