Turkish Super League 2025/26 Season

[Silence Scream]

It is natural for them to get tired. The players are very tired due to the consecutive performances, now it is time to rest the important players and give the bench players a chance. Now is the time to show the coach's core skills, how the coach takes action in times of crisis and how his team performs will show the coach's skills. I hope that Galatasaray will return very soon, we will be able to see the skills of Okan Buruk.

Galatasaray disappointed their fans this time. Most people were pretty much sure about their victory and I assume people lost a lot of money in bets because of that defeat.
Fenerbahce prepared this match very well, profited from the absence of Galatasaray players and consolidated their team with Matteo Guendouzi mainly who was the player of the game. It was a nice start of the year and Galatasaray should take this on consideration.

Galatasaray lost their first cup final of 2026. They are currently leading the Süper Lig, and matches will resume soon. If they play like they did in this Super Cup final, Galatasaray are very likely to drop points in the league, as from what I saw, they showed no presence in the match. Fenerbahçe easily controlled the midfield and had a very comfortable game in the attacking zone. Thus, they secured their first cup of 2026.

Beşiktaş is doing well to send away players who aren't in the squad, but the fact that no one is coming in to replace them is a huge problem. The team has also shrunk significantly in numbers. I think there are only 23 players left now. Some positions have no alternatives. For example, Rıdvan is the only left back. There is no other player who can play there. Emirhan could play out of necessity, but there is no one else. There are only 3 center backs left. Apart from Emirhan and Djalo, there are no other center backs, if Felix will be sent away too. Jurasek and Paulista have been sent away. Mert has been sent away, reducing the number of goalkeepers to 2. Svensson has been sent away, reducing the number of right backs to 2.
While the team needs more midfielders and forwards, they now also have to cover these gaps. The management was too late with transfers. If the season doesn't end with a good ranking, there's a chance of not qualifying for European cups next season, which would be a disaster.

Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray are always trying to steal players from the hands of each other. This time I have heard about Fenerbahçe trying to sign not only Can Armando Güner but also Noa Lang this winter.

Galatasaray has been interested in both players lately. By the way another target for Fenerbahçe is Darwin Nunez. Do you think he would be a good replacement for En-Nesyri? I think Nunez would be better than him at least.

[$weetne$$]

Beşiktaş is currently getting rid of its dead weight. Jurasek might have been the worst left-back in Beşiktaş history. Paulista was too slow due to his age... Mert and Necip are in the same situation. Beşiktaş needs to make transfers according to Sergen Yalçın's wishes, because Sergen Yalçın doesn't easily approve of players. If I were in the management's place, I would sign whoever Sergen wants.

Fenerbahçe is making smart transfers, and the most important transfer right now will be for the forward line. En-Nesiry is going to Qatar, and a transfer in this position is essential. I'm also eagerly waiting to see who they will sign.

Fenerbahce does need to strengthen their front line and as it happens that they are making transfers in that regards, I see that ti be a really smart one for them because if they have that figured, they may be able to contend firmly for the title this season as against the top rivals who are already up there on the table alongside.

Aston Villa has stepped in for Tammy Abraham. They are considering signing him as an alternative to Watkins. Beşiktaş has not been able to replace any of the players who left. If their only remaining striker leaves too, the number of key players missing from the team will rise to 5. I've never seen such incompetent management. There's no team left, and it's unclear which players will take the field for matches. They have no plan. At this rate, another season will be wasted. If they fail to secure a spot in European competitions, we can consider next season wasted as well.

It's really hard to understand what they're doing; the team has many shortcomings, and instead of trying to fill them, they're doing the opposite. Do they believe success is possible with this squad? I think it's impossible. This team has no chance of achieving anything in European matches either. At least if they invested in the team for next season and signed a few players, we could think differently. But I don't think this team will be very successful next year either; there are still many shortcomings, and they're ignoring them

[MK-74]

The Süper Lig will resume tomorrow from where it left off.
The league will kick off with the Başakşehir FK vs. Fatih Karagümrük match.

Galatasaray will also play at home tomorrow evening against Gaziantep FK.
I expect a definite win from Galatasaray.
Since Nigeria has been eliminated from the Africa Cup of Nations, Osimhen should have returned to the team and may start in the first eleven for this match.

[LGD2Business]

Kasımpaşa has signed Cenk Tosun. I was expecting him to go to another İstanbul team. After all, he won't be changing his home or routine. At this age, a striker like him would strengthen any Super League team. Thus, Fenerbahçe has parted ways with Cenk after İrfan Can. These players, who had been left out of the squad, hadn't been playing for some time. Cenk will contribute to Kasımpaşa. He'll score a few goals this season. I think that's a pretty good transfer for them. It won't cost much as well.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Once again Fenerbahçe is having more transfer activity than Galatasaray. What are we doing meanwhile? We don't want to hand the title over to them right? Then the chairman Dursun Özbek had better do something about it.

We still need some transfers. For the midfield especially and I think a left winger transfer would also be great. No luck with Hakan Çalhanoğlu lately. It's said we are still interested in bringing Lookman. Let's just make some good moves!

Galatasaray's loss to Fernebache is quite excusable due to schedule before the team starting from last year to this very moment, they have been pretty consistent, and with the highest win in the league they also occupy the top position at the league table. All of these are as a result of their performance this season, I think this loss was as a result of fatigue and inadequate preparedness.

[tygeade]

I am not sure if Darwin Nunez would be a good striker to get, we have seen him at Liverpool and dude sucked, didn't really follow up when he went to SA league, is he any good there? To be fair, Fenerbahce needs a striker very badly, they are building a very very strong team at every other position, but Duran and Neysri do not work well and they are not scoring good enough, specially not at Europa level, even if enough for the league.

There were talks about them getting Sorloth but I guess that didn't work out, he would have been perfect for them and he isn't stranger to the league, he played there before. If not him, then they still need someone like him ,they need to sell Neysri and get someone else to make it work.

After one month break, now Super League back in action with Galatasaray are going to play their first game after having lost in Super Cup against Fenerbahçe still they are having no services of Victor Osimhen who is playing for Nigeria in AFCON Cup.

Good thing is, upcoming game is against Gaziantep which is having no win in last 4 games, they will be winning this game easily and keep their top spot in league table while on Sunday good number of games with Fenerbahçe going to visit Alanyaspor, this game is going to be interesting because Alanyaspor has good record at home with things could be challenging for both the teams after break, it's surely going to be interesting second half of this season.

I don't know what caused this, but it's clear Galatasaray lost a cup. They also received a fine from the Turkish Football Federation for not participating in the cup victory ceremony. For a team that has won many cups, I think it was a clumsy move. Furthermore, this year is Galatasaray's riskiest year in the last few years. We're watching an average performance from a team accustomed to success. If they want to be champions, Galatasaray needs to shake itself up and get back on track as soon as possible.

I watch Darwin Nunez at Liverpool and I think he misses very easy goals. Fenerbahce is not a team that finds many chances yet. So, they need a striker that can finish better. i dont think he is the one that fb really needs. fb needs a striker with a better success rate.

I'm a Liverpool fan so I understand the point you made about Darwin Nunez because I watched him play at Liverpool for around 3 years iirc. I've seen some highlights from his time at Saudi and honestly, I don't think much has changed even though he has scored a few goals. Maybe he would be prolific in a league with much less competitiveness.

He was good there, just not impressive. If they want to get an impressive striker, they should look for one from Europe's major leagues, not from SPL .

Talking about Fenerbahce, I heard news that they will sign N'golo Kante from Al-Ittihad, but on the other side, WHU also wants his services, I think the one who will win if that happens is WHU. Fenerbahce is also reported to have received an offer for their striker (Youssef En-Nesyri), the team that wants him is Everton.

Nunez wasn't good at Liverpool. More was expected of him, but he didn't meet expectations. He's better than a striker like Nesry, but I think Fenerbahçe needs a better striker. With Osimhen at Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe needs a similar striker if they want to compete in the league. Because Osimhen is truly top-level and can dominate matches even on his own. The only problem is when Osimhen isn't there.

Sometimes it gets tough for even the best teams and am not surprised that Galatasaray are now experiencing such situations at this point in time when they are being expected to start adding to their trophy cabinet.

It's a good thing this time around it isn't Galatasaray that would be crowned champions but a rival team, goes to show how the competition is gradually taking a new dimension in Turkey.

[Distraction]

Terrible performance by Galatasaray in the match so far. Gaziantep have even just got ahead by 1-0 at Rams Park. This is the worst case scenario for Galatasaray surely.

Barış Alper, Yunus and Icardi all have had a bad match until this minute. Osimhen is still not back as Nigeria had a 3rd place match in AFCON. If they had him maybe he could have saved them. But the team effort is really poor truthfully.

The game ended in a draw, and I lost my bet because I had wagered on Galatasaray to win. I confess I'm very surprised by this draw; Galatasaray was supposed to score at least one goal and win the game because their opponent wasn't very strong on paper, but on the field things proved to be different, to the point that Galatasaray came very close to losing. This draw for Galatasaray opens up space for Fenerbahce to reduce the points difference with Galatasaray to just one point if Fenerbahce wins their next game.
