Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Güneş.
Judged on this season alone, Güneş graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 42 of the 42 defensive midfielders in the Süper Lig, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.453 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 20). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 44, top 27% of the 42 defensive midfielders in the Süper Lig. At 26 Güneş is in his prime years, and a market index of 10 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Başakşehir finished 5th of 18 · an upper-table side
2.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 65.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 43.5, Güneş carries the 11th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Süper Lig (top 27%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
