Output in context · Başakşehir finished 5th of 18 · an upper-table side
2.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 19 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 0 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.41 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
- Creativity. 0.41 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 36.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 28.4, Crespo carries the 28th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Süper Lig of 42. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
