Nuno da Costa

Nuno da Costa is Başakşehir’s Bronze Creator, a veteran forward whose game is built around link play rather than pure finishing. Born in Praia and capped by both Cape Verdean and French football cultures, he brings a Ligue Cup winners’ medal and years of experience into a side that needs guile between the lines.

The data underlines that hybrid creator/impact profile. Seventeen appearances and 759 minutes show a player trusted to influence matches in defined bursts rather than through full‑match shifts, ideal for high‑Stakes phases when control is slipping. His Dribbling is the clear standout on the pentagon: frequent take‑ons per 90, a strong success rate and a steady stream of fouls drawn all point to a forward who destabilises defences off the dribble, opening lanes for others. Overall rating and season ability sit in the mid range, while a much lower form score tells of a quiet spell, not a loss of underlying quality. With an established reliability profile, coaches know broadly what version of Nuno they are getting when they turn to him from the bench.

Valued at €1M with a stable trend, he profiles as a sensible, low‑risk investment rather than a blockbuster signing. In crunch matches where one twist of dribbling or one clever foul can tilt Balance, da Costa’s skill set still carries real situational value.
