Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yılmaz.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 59th of 85 of the 85 centre-backs in the 1. Lig. At 30 Yılmaz is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 18 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 40.2% 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 17.8, Yılmaz carries the 59th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the 1. Lig of 85, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Hatayspor finished 19th of 20) — 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 (3.14 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
