Demir Ege Tıknaz

The ARCHITECT tag is earned through 0.84 key passes per 90, quietly threading routes into dangerous zones, while 1.7 dribbles and frequent fouls drawn show he can carry play under pressure. His strongest pentagon edge is Workrate, rated at 95, and it powers everything: repeated sprints, second balls, and the stamina to reset Balance in midfield. Overall ability sits at 59, with an overall rating of 56, while a low form score signals a quiet spell rather than a ceiling.
