Clean sheets

2.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th of 18) 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 4 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 76.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.

Watch points

Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

Rated 61.6 overall — a strong, regular top-tier starter. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~29), then tapers with age. At 26, Şahin sits on 29.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Şahin's projected Rating — 61.6 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
