Melih Kabasakal

Melih Kabasakal is Gaziantep FK’s Bronze Squad Player, a dependable squad option whose body of work is still being built in this campaign. The Sinop-born midfielder has travelled the hard road from Trabzonspor’s youth sides to multiple 1. Lig titles, bringing that experience into a new chapter in Gaziantep colours. He fits naturally into a deep, competitive squad.

This season is defined by what he does with limited minutes. Across just 3 appearances and 104 minutes, his defensive reading of the match stands out. Around 2.5 interceptions per 90 and strong tackling output have earned him a Gold INTERCEPTOR badge, the mark of a player who breaks up play almost for fun. An overall rating of 48 and season ability at 45 sketch a solid, no-frills profile. His form sits at 53 and is maintaining a consistent level rather than swinging wildly. On the pentagon, Shooting emerges as his strongest dimension, hinting at threat around the edge of the box when he steps forward.

His market value sits at €1M with a rising trend, underlining how clubs view his role-player reliability. With his reliability band still calibrating, every extra minute on the pitch is a chance to firm up that valuation and carve out a clearer place in Gaziantep’s plans for the crunch matches to come.
