Scout report

Squad depthDefensive midfielder

Y. Aït Bennasser is a 30-year-old defensive midfielder at Kayserispor, rated 23.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 255th of 326 on scout potential in the Süper Lig. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (48.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.66 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bennasser.

Judged on this season alone, Bennasser graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 29 of the 29 central midfielders in the Süper Lig, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 3.659 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 0 → 13). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 23rd of 29 of the 29 central midfielders in the Süper Lig. At 30 Bennasser is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Bennasser missed 3 games through injury (inactive, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 21 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

3.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (17th 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.2% 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 23.4, Bennasser carries the 23rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Süper Lig of 29, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Kayserispor finished 17th 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 solid defensive volume (3.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
