Playing Style Profiles
A Defender. Statistically, he stands out as an aggressive ball-winner (2.7 tackles/90), wins the ball cleanly (1.9 successful tackles/90), active off the ball (2.3 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions and top 10% tackler in the league.
Müldür occupies a fascinating tactical grey zone—a defender who consistently threatens the opposition goal more than he's troubled by his own.
