In this scout report, we ingrain our focus on the gifted Turkish maestro, Ömer Ali Şahiner, an attacking midfielder with occasional marauding runs as a full back. During the 2023-24 Süper Lig season, he's displayed a solid capacity for retaining possession and recovering the ball, winding up in the upper echelons of his peers with these metrics. His creative aptitude lights up Istanbul Basaksehir's attacking play, registering in the top 30% league-wide in chance creation.
However, it's his incisive forward-minded distribution that truly sets him apart, with a sterling record that surpasses 80% of his counterparts in the realm of progressive passing. A weakness is visible though; his rather underwhelming goal threat, which barely scratches the surface of the league's high-flyers, and meager goal efficiency signal deficiencies. A paltry assists rate per 90 minutes and low goals per 90 percentile consummate this shortfall in his offensive contribution.
There's also a moderate degree of proficiency in Şahiner's First-touch-and-go playstyle, evidenced by his half-decent score in dribbling. But when it comes to aerial battles and duels, his mastery slightly falters as revealed by his less-than-average rates. On the defensive end of the spectrum, he stands tall in securing crucial interceptions while his discipline comes into question with a tendency to infringe rules to halt the adversary's attacking momentum. As such, executively, Şahiner could be a tactical asset for every manager's playbook but his goal contribution needs significant improvement to establish his mark in the league.
