Project playerFull-back

U. Meraş is a 30-year-old full-back at Eyüpspor, rated 25.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 234th of 326 on scout potential in the Süper Lig. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (60.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.77 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Meraş.

Judged on this season alone, Meraş graded 21 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 62 of the 62 full-backs in the Süper Lig, on 4 clean sheets and 3.77 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 32 → 21). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 45th of 62 of the 62 full-backs in the Süper Lig. At 30 Meraş is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.1 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) 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 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 60.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 25.6, Meraş carries the 45th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Süper Lig of 62, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Eyüpspor finished 15th of 18) — 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 (3.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
