On long-term scout potential he's rated 10.1, ranking 378th of 405 in the 1. Lig. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (48.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.53 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dursun.

Judged on this season alone, Dursun graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 57th of 85 of the 85 centre-backs in the 1. Lig, on 2 clean sheets and 3.533 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 12). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 77th of 85 of the 85 centre-backs in the 1. Lig. At 35 Dursun is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 21 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 10.1, Dursun carries the 77th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 1. Lig of 85, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Sakaryaspor finished 18th 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 solid defensive volume (3.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
