Novatus Dismas

Novatus Dismas is Göztepe’s Silver Wall at the back. A left-footed centre-back from Arusha, Tanzania, he arrives with the aura of a proven winner after lifting four trophies in Ukraine with Shakhtar Donetsk. At 1.85m, he brings presence, timing and calm to the heart of the defence.

This season’s body of work underlines his defensive identity. Nineteen appearances and 1092 minutes, with five as the main card, show how firmly he is trusted. His INTERCEPTOR badge is fully earned: 1.9 interceptions and 1.9 tackles per 90, plus a stack of duels and recoveries, paint the picture of a defender who reads danger early and steps in before attacks develop. An overall rating of 50 and season ability of 39 mark him as a work in progress, but a perfect form score of 100 signals a player on a clear hot streak. One goal across his latest five outings is no coincidence either; with Shooting as his standout pentagon dimension, late surges and set-piece threat are becoming part of his toolkit.

The bigger picture adds extra context. A stable market value of €1M places him in that intriguing bracket where every crunch match can shift perception. At this level of Stakes, each clean sheet and big intervention can redefine his ceiling in the transfer market.
