Judged on this season alone, Gülay graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 9th of 15 of the 15 central midfielders in the 1. Lig, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 3.339 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 17).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, top 14% of the 15 central midfielders in the 1. Lig. At 20 Gülay is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 4.5 reflects that trajectory.
Output in context · Adana Demirspor finished 20th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
3.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (20th 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.24 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 32.3% 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 34.8, Gülay carries the 2nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the 1. Lig (top 14%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Adana Demirspor finished 20th 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 (3.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
