Scout report

Experienced headBall-winning Defensive midfielder

S. Uçan is a 32-year-old defensive midfielder at Beşiktaş, rated 15.3 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 6.15 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Uçan.

On the season, Uçan graded 8 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 6.151 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 6 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 15. At 32 Uçan is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Uçan missed 4 games through injury (inactive) out of roughly 34 this season. The 19 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.

Clean sheets

6.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 19 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 6.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 20.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 15.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (6.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
