Scout report
C. Özkacar is a 25-year-old central defender at 1. FC Köln, rated 67.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 145th of 325 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (58.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.55 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Özkacar.
Judged on this season alone, Özkacar graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Bundesliga, on 2 clean sheets and 3.548 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 19 → 18). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 68, top 33% of the 52 centre-backs in the Bundesliga. At 25 Özkacar is in his prime years, and a market index of 40.5 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · 1. FC Köln finished 14th of 18 · a lower-table side
3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 58.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 67.8, Özkacar carries the 17th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga (top 33%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (1. FC Köln finished 14th 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 (3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
