An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (94.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.97 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Paal.

Judged on this season alone, Paal graded 32 — a strong campaign that ranks top 26% of the 62 full-backs in the Süper Lig, on 8 clean sheets and 2.967 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 25 → 32). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 35th of 62 of the 62 full-backs in the Süper Lig. At 29 Paal is in his prime years, and a market index of 6.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th 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

  • Availability. On the pitch for 94.2% 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 33.6, Paal carries the 35th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Süper Lig of 62, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Antalyaspor finished 16th 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 moderate defensive volume (2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
