Turkish Super League 2026/27 Season

[Yabani]

Every time I watch this video, I find myself wondering: " Are these Fenerbahçe attackers taking their jobs seriously? " Every time I watch this video, I ask myself: "Are these Fenerbahçe attackers taking their jobs seriously?" It doesn't look like they are.

- Mattéo Guendouzi is 27 years old. This season, he has played 5 matches, with 0 goals and 0 assists.

- Romelu Lukaku is 33 years old. This season, he has played 4 matches, with 0 goals and 0 assists. He’s also a guy who easily suffers long-term injuries. Why sign him?

- Kerem Aktürkoğlu is 27 years old. This season, he has played 4 matches, with 0 goals and 0 assists.

- Ismail Yuksek is 27 years old. This season, he has played 5 matches, with 0 goals and 0 assists.

Of the footballers you listed, only Lukaku is a forward.
Kerem isn't an out-and-out striker; he's a winger. The others are midfielders.
Also, İsmail Yüksek isn't a regular starter for the team. You wrote this to criticize, but it’s not a particularly valid criticism.

Furthermore, İsmail Yüksek is a defensive midfielder. He has many responsibilities to fulfill before he can even think about scoring goals or making assists. Moreover, considering that he plays alongside an attacking line that has struggled to help out on defense, I think he’s the last person who should be criticized...

Fenerbahçe started the season with some good signings. Lukaku isn’t ready yet, but once he is, I don’t think he’ll have any trouble scoring in the Turkish league. Fenerbahçe has the potential to be a better team. However, no matter what, the quality of their squad is far behind Galatasaray’s. They might be in the race for the league title again this season, but I don’t think they stand a chance of overtaking Galatasaray...

Victor Osimhen absence in the team is breaking the team because they're not get back to their peak form although they're winning games

Looks like his injury is much more serious than initially thought, when virtually everyone was saying he would be playing again in about three to four weeks. Probably now we're counting in months rather than weeks. That said, I wish him the quick recovery and hope Galatasaray will continue their winning streak in the TSL.

Osimhen's impact in the team is undeniable, he is the key attacking force that Galatasaray has at the moment which explains their 1-0 win recently. Galatasaray have always scored an average of 2-3 goals every match in their past league games but their recent win was different because of the absence of a key player. I really do hope it does not become something serious beyond our expectations, and he is back on his feet in no time, the TSL sure misses him.

Galatasaray coach must stop making Victor Osimhen the center of attention in the team such that when he is absent, it affects the morales of the team entirely. Victor Osimhen is a brilliant player but the club should not always wait until he in available for matches before they can ignite a burning desire to win their opponents with high scores. I saw a decline in Galatasaray's performance even though they are not in a bad condition but I believe that if Victor Osimhen were to be active in the UCL game they played against Sporting Lisbon, he would have pressured his team for more goals after they scored first but they all felt relaxed which later went in the favour of Sporting. Same thing happened in their last SPL game that they won 1:0 because after they scored that one goal there was no zeal to score more goals but this are situations that Osimhen wouldn't allow because he will make sure his team scores more goals in order to perfect the result.

Süper Lig championship odds Galatasaray 1.68, Fenerbahçe 2.90, Beşiktaş 6.20, Trabzonspor 12.00. Currently, there is only a one-point difference between Galatasaray and Beşiktaş. Moreover, Beşiktaş got off to a much better start to the season than Fenerbahçe. Beşiktaş's odds of 6.20 struck me as rather high. I can understand Galatasaray being considered the favorite, but the wide gap between them and Beşiktaş doesn't seem logical to me. In terms of squad quality, I actually consider Beşiktaş's roster to be stronger than Galatasaray's.

I think the reason Beşiktaş is given higher odds is that they start every season strong. At this point, we still can’t say that Fenerbahçe has completely fallen out of contention, and the betting odds confirm this. Normally, we’d expect the odds given to Beşiktaş to be applied to Fenerbahçe instead, but you never know when they might turn things around. As for Beşiktaş, no matter how well they start, we don’t know how long that run will last. Beşiktaş has had seasons like this in past as well.

I thought two to three weeks before Osimhen returns, what is with the months for him to recover. Galatasaray without Osimhen is not a threat, they won their last match, but it wasn't a good performance because their attack was week, and forth to the Champions League without Osimhen, it will be a problem, i don't know how Galatasaray will fair for games approaching.

I think @Slow death is right about Lukaku and Kerem.

Kerem may not be a striker but he is a winger so he should at least have some assists this season. But so far, he’s contributed nothing and has been playing really badly. I think Fenerbahçe are playing with 10 men whenever Kerem is on the pitch.

İsmail Yüksek may not be a regular starter but he still needs to make a contribution. He was better last season.

I can’t say much about Guendouzi but he should have scored from that chance yesterday. It was a 100% chance.

The next matches will be in October, and I expect Osimhen to recover by then. I hope he gets better and continues to be a threat to Galatasaray in the Champions League. Last year, he was a huge advantage for Galatasaray in the Champions League. He gave his all for Galatasaray with his magnificent performances against opponents. He couldn't play in his first Champions League match this year, and if I remember correctly, he couldn't play in his first Champions League match last year either. I hope he'll be ready for the second match and put in a good performance against Barcelona.

I don't think Beşiktaş's squad is better than Galatasaray's, but I think Beşiktaş's odds should have made them more of a favorite. Among the teams still in contention for the championship, Beşiktaş's odds seem interesting. Perhaps it's worth trying to bet on Beşiktaş for the championship. Right now, I think they're ahead of Fenerbahçe in terms of winning the title. However, interestingly, they seem more favored than both Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş.

Trabzonspor has reached an agreement with Thomas Reis to serve as head coach. Reis, who recently managed Samsunspor, is—in my opinion—an excellent coach; he will be an asset to Trabzonspor.
The main criticism directed at Reis right now stems from a past statement in which he described managing one of Istanbul's "Big Three" clubs as a mere fantasy.
If he fails, that statement will frequently be thrown back at him.
I believe he will succeed.

Fenerbahçe lacks team play rather than skilled players. The latter are not bad, though some of them ^{like Talisca,} were transferred from Fenerbahçe reportedly even against their will. So, I agree that the main problem here lies in the approach to coaching and transfer policy. BTW, the total known transfer fees paid by Fenerbahçe this season are about $65M.

"Reis" is a manager I really like, too; German managers are generally excellent.
I expect him to be at the helm for Trabzonspor's match against Galatasaray this weekend.
The key factor will be the role Reis assigns to Salah on the pitch.
Salah is the team's star, and Trabzonspor will be more effective under his leadership.
From what I’ve seen in matches over the past five weeks, his teammates also hold Salah in high regard.
For Trabzonspor, the league season might effectively be starting from Matchweek 6.
Trabzonspor will now be one of the contenders for the championship.

I have no idea how transfer policy works in Türkiye.
By that, I mean I simply don't understand the criteria used for making signings.
At one point, Beşiktaş signed at least four or five right-backs—all of whom had the exact same playing style.
Fenerbahçe signed a 34-year-old Lukaku even though they already had Vedat and Sidiki; all three players share the same style of play.
As far as I know, Talisca left on his own accord.
Fenerbahçe suffers from both a flawed transfer policy and a great deal of bad luck.
I watched the highlights of the Gaziantep match; the football wasn't bad—it was just a matter of bad luck. If the shots taken by Kerem or Greenwood had gone in, we wouldn't be discussing this situation today. In Türkiye, no one questions things if there is success, but in the event of failure, you face intense scrutiny and criticism, even if you are actually playing very well.

[banana33]

The summary of the match is actually simple we played well and created chances, but we just couldn't score that goal. While hitting the woodwork twice was a bit unlucky, we have moved past the point where we can simply brush things off by blaming bad luck.
If you dominate a team like Gaziantep which plays a defensive, compact game yet fail to secure the three points, it means there is a serious problem somewhere.
Dropping five points in two consecutive matches means unnecessarily falling behind in the title race right at the start of the season. I, for one, don't really expect much from Fenerbahçe anymore.

fenerbahce can certainly do better than this, they are clearly one of the best teams in the Turkish football scene and can openly compete with the other contenders for the title, this gives me peace of mind and in fact when i place my bet i always include it among the winners.

I know that certain agents work closely with specific individuals at clubs in Türkiye.
There is almost certainly an unwritten agreement regarding commissions between them.
After all, if we as fans can see whether a transfer is good or bad, they certainly can too—but financial interests are at play.
They sign young foreign players but lack the patience to let them develop, or they fail to give them sufficient playing time.
They pay huge sums to players nearing the end of their careers but don't get the necessary contribution from them.
They sign players without checking their injury history, only to end up paying a fortune just to offload them later.
There is no professionalism in these matters. The people running football are businessmen; there isn't a single administrator who actually comes from a football background.
Our TFF president, for instance, is someone who once headed Trabzonspor but only has a primary school education.
That sums up Turkish football.

[cande86]

The man has an obsession. What is İrfancan doing? What does he offer that Nene doesn't? Yet İrfancan plays while Nene sits out.
İsmail Kartal himself is the one to blame.

lukaku is certainly better than that, we remember him as a person who abandoned the football that matters but in the end he wants to prove that he is still the best and he will succeed I'm sure of it, i have always been certain and very attached to this player and i think he will unlock himself, don't believe the criticism.

He couldn't play in his first Champions League match this year, and if I remember correctly, he couldn't play in his first Champions League match last year either. I hope he'll be ready for the second match and put in a good performance against Barcelona.

The match between Galatasaray, and FC Barcelona will be coming up on the 13/10/2026 and is going to be a very big clash between between the leading team in the Turkish super League, and also the leading team in the Spanish Laliga. Theses teams have been in good form this season even in their various leagues, although the Spanish team Barcelona seems to be more stronger because of the present of some of the world top players, and the possibility of Victor Osimen who is also one of the biggest players in fernabache to play this match is not certain since he has not fully recovered from his injury, and if that eventually happens, FC Barcelona will easily secure their point against Galatasaray.

Sidiki Chérif plays for Coventry City. Fenerbahçe sold him. They sold a younger player with potential and signed a player nearing the end of his career in his place. In my opinion, Lukaku is a great choice for the Turkish league. He can play with his back to the goal and act as a link in the passing game among his teammates. Additionally, with his physical attributes, he can hold his position in the Turkish league...

I don’t think Sidiki was the problem here; either Vedat or Lukaku was surplus to requirements. However, I still can’t criticize Fenerbahçe’s management because they made good money from Sidiki’s transfer fee...

By the way, we know that İsmail Kartal didn’t want Talisca to be sent away at all. So, as a head coach, he has very little say in such matters...

For Trabzonspor, the league season might effectively be starting from Matchweek 6.
Trabzonspor will now be one of the contenders for the championship.

I believe he was the best choice, both because of his in-depth knowledge of the league and his ability to implement a style of play suited to the club. His work at Samsunspor clearly demonstrated how he was able to raise the standard of the squad. Nevertheless, he has never worked with ‘star’ players – neither at his previous clubs, nor at Samsunspor, nor at Ludogorets. His greatest hallmark is his ability to refine raw talent into good players. He has managed to extract maximum performance from players of relatively lower quality but with good raw potential. At Trabzon, there are numerous well-known players such as Salah, Onana and Fabinho. The rapport he builds with these star players will be a key factor directly influencing success or failure.
