Taras Stepanenko

Taras Stepanenko is Eyüpspor’s Silver-tier Wall in midfield. Built for protecting the back line and breaking waves of attacks, he arrives with a haul of 20 trophies from Ukraine and the pedigree of a defensive specialist. A left-footed shield in front of the defence, his job is to secure the spine of the team.

The numbers back up that hybrid Wall/Engine profile. Eight appearances and 530 minutes point to a reliable SQUAD PLAYER who is trusted when the match needs control. His overall rating of 34 and season ability at 36 sketch a modest skill ceiling, yet a form score climbing to 62 shows he is on an upward trajectory. That “hotter than ability” profile tells of a player squeezing maximum value out of experience and positioning. With Defense as his standout pentagon edge, his game is about interceptions, blocks and closing lanes rather than highlight-reel moments, and an emerging reliability tag underlines that this body of work is still being built at Eyüpspor.

Valued at €1M with a downward trend, his worth to Eyüpspor is measured less in resale and more in control during crunch matches. As his form curve rises, his presence in tense, winner-takes-all evenings can tilt the Stakes in Eyüpspor’s favour through structure, discipline and big-game know-how.
