Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

V. Sarı is a 38-year-old central defender at Antalyaspor, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 1 assists in 22 appearances, a Season grade of 30, top 40% of Süper Lig centre-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 11.7, ranking 319th of 326 in the Süper Lig. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter (73.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.22 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sarı.

Judged on this season alone, Sarı graded 30 — a solid campaign that ranks top 40% of the 50 centre-backs in the Süper Lig, on 6 clean sheets and 3.224 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 29 → 30). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 50th of 50 of the 50 centre-backs in the Süper Lig. At 38 Sarı is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Sarı missed 5 games through injury (inactive, muscle, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 22 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

3.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 73.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 38, 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 11.7, Sarı carries the 50th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Süper Lig of 50, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Antalyaspor finished 16th of 18) — 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 (3.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
