Anthony Nwakaeme

Anthony Nwakaeme is Trabzonspor’s Bronze Creator, a veteran left-footer who now plays more with his head than his legs. No trophies in a long career across several countries, but he has become a cult figure for the club’s fans and this second spell feels like an epilogue written on his own terms.

His role this season is clearly reduced: 11 appearances, just 336 minutes, and only once as the main card. Even in that small window, you can see the logic of keeping him around. Overall level sits in the mid‑60s, with season ability in the low‑50s range – solid depth rather than a guaranteed starter. His form rating trails that ability, so he is in a bit of a slump, yet the curve remains steady rather than collapsing. The standout trait is his Passing: he knits moves together, offers a safe outlet under pressure, and restores Balance when attacks start to rush. In his last five outings there’s no goal and just one assist, so the impact is more about flow than headline numbers.

Reliability is tagged as emerging, which fits a season where the sample size is small but honest. Market value is listed at €0M and trending down, yet in a crunch match his nous and feel for Stakes still give the coach a different kind of option from the bench.
