Active Full-Back
A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as a reliable supplier (0.16 assists/90), meticulous in distribution (87% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (59% duel success), draws fouls effectively (2.3/90) and active off the ball (2.7 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. The three most similar players to Mustafa Eskihellaç by playing style are:
- Mert Müldür(86% match) — Müldür occupies a fascinating tactical grey zone—a defender who consistently threatens the opposition goal more than he's troubled by his own. His tackles won rate sits in the top 5% of Super Lig defenders, meaning he's not just positioning well; he's actively winning the ball back at an elite frequency for this league. Pair that with top-20% key passes and shots per 90, and you have someone functioning more like an advanced wing-back than a conventional fullback.
- Levent Mercan(86% match) — A Active Full-Back. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, an elite creator (1.6 key passes/90), a reliable supplier (0.24 assists/90), active in the tackle (2.0 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (85% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (58% duel success), central to possession (77 touches/90) and active off the ball (2.6 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions.
- Ricardo Esgaio(85% match) — 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.
