An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (85.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.64 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Šatka.
Judged on this season alone, Šatka graded 28 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 23rd of 50 of the 50 centre-backs in the Süper Lig, on 6 clean sheets and 2.642 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 40 → 28). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 32nd of 50 of the 50 centre-backs in the Süper Lig. At 30 Šatka is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Šatka missed 6 games through injury (injury, broken hand) out of roughly 34 this season. The 27 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
