What position does Yildiray Basturk play? Is he an attacking central midfielder or is he a right-sided midfielder?
Currently he plays central offensive midfield (playmaker) at Hertha, but i think he can play both positions.

To characterize him isn´t easy, TOLH can do it better, i think, but here´s my try: Bastürk has a good ball control, a strength of him are his tempo dribblings, because he has a good acceleration. But he has also an eye for his teammates and plays passes, that create good situations for his team, especially at counters. His "weak points" are his tacklings and his headers.

He also has a good eye for goal (5 goals this year). Injury prone also
