Playing Style Analysis

A Box-to-Box. Statistically, he stands out as an elite creator (2.9 key passes/90), a prolific assist provider (0.32 assists/90), creates high-quality scoring opportunities (2.39 big chances/90), heavily involved in play (61 touches/90), draws fouls effectively (2.9/90), uses long balls frequently (5.1/90) and top 10% creator in the league. However, he loses possession under pressure (1.8 dispossessed/90). The three most similar players to Kerem Atakan Kesgin by playing style are:

• Alexandru Maxim(86% match) — Maxim is the quintessential Super Lig puppet master, a high-volume creator who thrives on the edge of chaos for a Tier C side where he is the undisputed offensive heartbeat. While his team struggles for dominance, Maxim operates in a different stratosphere, ranking in the top 5% of the league for both key passes (3.15/90) and assists, proving he is not just a facilitator but a primary architect. His 7.43 passes into the final third place him in the elite bracket of progressive distributors, yet the counterintuitive reality of his profile lies in his physicality; despite a low volume of aerial duels, his 50% win rate suggests a player with high tactical intelligence in positioning rather than raw power.
• Mateusz Legowski(86% match) — A Ball-Winner.
• Salih Özcan(85% match) — Özcan is a metronomic disruptor whose high-volume passing and elite defensive anticipation make him the structural glue for a mid-table side. While his 79.2% pass accuracy appears merely average, it is a byproduct of his relentless involvement; ranking in the top 5% for passes per 90 (57.9) suggests he is the primary valve through whom the game flows, rather than a passenger. His true value lies in his spatial intelligence, evidenced by a staggering 2.78 interceptions per 90—putting him in the league’s elite tier for reading play.
