The Super Lig has made moves like never before in 2024. For the most part, the Turkish league’s top clubs were after some of the world’s top managers and players. The arrival of the likes of Jose Mourinho and Victor Osimhen certainly helped grow its popularity.
It’s time to look at the players who performed best and who scored the most in Turkish Super Lig fantasy football across 2024.
Team of the Year for 2024 in the Turkish Super Lig
Goalkeeper
Berke Ozer (Eyupspor)
Eyupspor has been the surprise package of 2024 in Turkey. During this season alone, the Istanbul team ranks fourth in the table at the time of writing. Goalkeeper Berke Ozer is a large factor in that success.
Eyupspor has the best defence in the league. And, you’ll need to consider Ozer for your next draft.
Defenders
Husniddin Alqulov (Caykur Rizespor)
Rizesport sits comfortably mid-table at the half point of the 2024/25 season. And it’s Alqulov‘s performances which have been a major factor. The 25-year-old Uzbeki defender has shown great potential.
He registers 86% passing success rate and has even managed the odd goal. Alqulov should be on the radar of major clubs and yours as well.
Heliton Tito (Goztepe)
Goztepe, with a bit of chance, might even catch a slot to play in European competitions next season. If that happens, the club will owe some gratitude to 29-year-old defender Héliton. Strong in the air and tactically sound, Héliton is one of the best defenders in fantasy football in 2024.
Guilherme (Atiker Konyaspor)
Veteran left-back Guilherme can still do a job for Konyaspor in Turkey. He has started every one of the team’s league games. And his crossing and passing have led to six-goal contributions.
Zeki Yavru (Samsunspor)
Samsunspor is enjoying a marvelous 2024/25 campaign. Zeki Yavru is, perhaps, the team’s chief performer. The right-wing back has brought in consistent displays and a leader and has helped Samsunspot to currently a third-place entry in the TSL. Do you have Yavru in your fantasy football squad?
Midfielders
Dusan Tadic (Fenerbahche)
Fenerbahce is a team of stars. Jose Mourinho is the brightest of them all. But, on the field, veteran playmaker Dusan Tadic ran the show. Tadic provided 10 assists as well as 8 goals for Fener this season. This has been enough to keep the team in the fight for the Turkish Super Lig title.
Baris Yilmaz (Galatasaray)
There’s a reason why Yilmaz is a hero for the Galatasaray faithful. Skillful, capable of playing in numerous roles, and always ready to sacrifice himself for the good of the team, he is one of the best players in the Super Lig. With 10 goals scored this season, he is also one of the best fantasy football picks.
Ahmed Kutucu (Galatasaray)
Kutucu makes an entry in the Team of the Season for his performances earlier in 2024. The midfielder was an essential part of Eyupsport’s setup. After scoring 8 goals in 18 matches, Galatasaray came calling. Great things are expected of Kutucu although he will need to battle it out for a place in the starting eleven.
Rafa Silva (Besiktas)
Rafa Silva distinguished himself back in Portugal as one of the finest midfielders in European football. It was seen as a coup that Besiktas was the team to pry him away from Western Europe finally. Silva has shown to be a leader at Besiktas as well. His performances earned him a place in the Team of the Year.
Attackers
Krzysztof Piatek (Basaksehir FK)
Krzysztof Piatek‘s decision to join Basksehir caught some by surprise. But the Polish forward fits the Turkish league perfectly. Piatek is a classic number-nine forward. The poacher has scored 18 goals this season. You’ll need him in your Super Lig fantasy football team.
Mame Thiam (Eyupspor)
Mame Thiam is a veteran journeyman striker who has brought his absolute best to Eyupspor, the revelation of 2024 football in Turkey. Thiam is a great fantasy football pick as well. The Senegalese have scored 11 goals in 19 matches since arriving in the Turkish capital.
