Scout report

Experienced headAttacking midfielder

M. Mert is a 31-year-old attacking midfielder at Sarıyer, rated 14.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 323rd of 405 on scout potential in the 1. Lig. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (18% of available minutes). He brings 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.29 goals, 0.15 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mert.

Judged on this season alone, Mert graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 55th of 69 of the 69 attacking midfielders in the 1. Lig, on 2 goals and 1 assist in 18 appearances (0.44 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 1 → 8). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 59th of 69 of the 69 attacking midfielders in the 1. Lig. At 31 Mert is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.

Goals / app

2 goals in 18 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 3 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.29 goals, 0.15 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Defensive volume. 3.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 18% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 14.8, Mert carries the 59th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the 1. Lig of 69 — though on just 18 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.44 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
