Another Gameweek has passed, and 75 points was actually a decent return. I finally picked a successful captain, although another clean sheet slipped away.
Amedspor attacked as expected, but the wrong players delivered the big returns. I had considered Ballet, which makes that particularly frustrating.
Fenerbahçe struggled after their home defeat to Göztepe but recovered with a huge victory over Liverpool. Galatasaray also avoided any mistakes, winning comfortably in the league before beating Stuttgart in Europe. Both Turkish representatives have made excellent starts to their Champions League campaigns.
Trabzonspor kept a league clean sheet, although Mohamed Salah blanked again. Ernest Muçi impressed, but Trabzonspor were unfortunate in Europe. They also look set to miss Tim Jabol-Folcarelli and Aral Şimşir for some time.
Beşiktaş have surprised me recently. They played well against Kasımpaşa but dropped two points before losing to Celtic in Europe.
Now we move on to Gameweek 11, the final round before the international break! We have some excellent fixtures ahead, and I wouldn’t rule out a few surprises.
TEAM REVEAL
GAZİANTEP FK v KASIMPAŞA
Kasımpaşa surprised Beşiktaş last week, but their manager subsequently resigned to join Fenerbahçe. I’m unsure how the players will respond.
There’s an unwritten rule that teams often struggle after taking points from the bigger clubs. That could happen again here.
Deian Sorescu remains Gaziantep’s standout performer. They actually played well against Trabzonspor and were unlucky not to score.
I’m expecting an entertaining 2-2 draw. Adrian Benedyczak always looks dangerous and impressed against Beşiktaş. Cláudio Winck has also enjoyed a strong season and offers attacking potential despite the risk of conceding.
Those three players are my main recommendations.
EYÜPSPOR v KOCAELİSPOR
I expect a fairly quiet match here.
Kocaelispor have conceded the second-fewest goals in the league, while Eyüpspor possess the weakest attack. That makes this an excellent fixture to target defensive returns.
Serhat Öztaşdelen is my first recommendation, particularly amid rumours of a potential national team call-up.
You could also consider Uğur Kaan Yıldız and Anfernee Dijksteel to strengthen your defence. Alternatively, Berkan Kutlu is an important player for Kocaelispor.
I don’t expect many goals, but Kocaelispor should win by one or two.
SAMSUNSPOR v KONYASPOR
This could be an interesting match. Samsunspor still haven’t responded as I expected, although this fixture gives them another opportunity.
Their defence has struggled badly, but Konyaspor don’t offer much attacking threat either.
For Samsunspor, I’d recommend Coulibaly, who has delivered returns in each of the last three Gameweeks.
Konyaspor’s Jimmy Cabot is another player worth considering if you’re looking for attacking creativity, although I’d want to confirm the intended player here before publication.
Personally, I’ll probably avoid this fixture.
GALATASARAY v AMEDSPOR
This match could determine who leads the league heading into the international break.
If Galatasaray score early, I can see them winning comfortably. Amedspor play attacking football but leave plenty of space for their opponents.
I’m expecting goals, so three players stand out: Victor Osimhen, Aleksey Batrakov and Gift Orban.
You could select players from both teams, double up on Galatasaray or simply choose Osimhen. It depends on how aggressively you want to approach the fixture.
GÖZTEPE v BAŞAKŞEHİR
Another difficult match to predict.
Göztepe have collected 14 points from their last six matches, including an impressive victory over Fenerbahçe. They finally appear to have found their form.
Başakşehir offer plenty going forward but can struggle against organised defences.
I’d focus on whichever attack you trust more. Juan Santos da Silva and Eldor Shomurodov are the two players I’d consider.
Alternatively, you could avoid the Fantasy decisions and simply enjoy what should be an excellent match.
RİZESPOR v ERZURUMSPOR
Normally, I’d back Rizespor to win this fixture. However, they’ve lost all four of their home matches this season!
Erzurumspor also lost to Çorumspor last week, although they created chances. That makes defensive selections risky because either side could score.
Mithat Pala looks like an interesting differential. He gets forward regularly and occasionally takes set pieces, an area where Erzurumspor have struggled.
For similar reasons, I also like Qazim Laçi.
From Erzurumspor, Cardoso is the only player I’d seriously consider.
ÇORUMSPOR v FENERBAHÇE
This could prove more difficult for Fenerbahçe than many expect.
Çorumspor have attacked well since their promotion, although their defence hasn’t looked particularly convincing.
Fenerbahçe continue to struggle domestically and also had a demanding match against Liverpool in midweek. Another high-scoring contest wouldn’t surprise me.
For Çorumspor, Alexandros Kyziridis and Cengiz Ünder are worth considering.
Fenerbahçe offer Archie Brown and Romelu Lukaku as potential selections.
There are attacking opportunities on both sides, so choose whichever team you trust most.
ALANYASPOR v TRABZONSPOR
Alanyaspor have a habit of surprising the bigger clubs, making this another potential upset.
However, Trabzonspor have won all five league matches under Thomas Reis. I expect that run to continue, although I wouldn’t rule out another result.
Mohamed Salah has blanked repeatedly in recent weeks and missed some big chances against Freiburg.
Paul Onuachu offers greater security as a regular starter, while Ernest Muçi also looks appealing.
I’d avoid selecting too many players from this match. However, if you’re confident in Trabzonspor, you could take a more aggressive approach.
BEŞİKTAŞ v GENÇLERBİRLİĞİ
Fortunately for Beşiktaş, they’re back at home after struggling on their travels this season.
They’ve conceded five goals across their last two matches, while Gençlerbirliği surprised everyone with an excellent result last week.
Despite that, there’s still a considerable difference in quality between these teams.
I expect Beşiktaş to win comfortably, with a clean sheet also possible.
Alexander Nübel, Julián Araujo, Leandro Trossard, Junior Olaitan and Dušan Vlahović are all potential options.
Personally, I’d prioritise attacking players for this fixture.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Those are my recommendations for Gameweek 11!
Several chips could work well this week, particularly with limited rotation expected and the international break approaching.
There are plenty of attractive fixtures, but we could still see some surprises.
Good luck to everyone this week!
