Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 23 → 25). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 15. At 32 Kitsiou is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Pendikspor finished 6th of 20 · an upper-table side
3.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (6th 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 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.19 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 3.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 39.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 14.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
