What are you talking about, Saudi League? There is not even a single similarity between Turkish League and Saudi League.

Fenerbahçe spent a lot of money. They spend a lot of money on transfers every year, but success never comes. We'll see if it will be different this year. Sometimes they start the league very well, sometimes they have a very good win streak in the last weeks. But none of these were enough to become champions in the last decade. Ali Koç wants to win the championship once before leaving the presidency. There is tremendous pressure on the club. If such a big club hasn't been able to become a champion for 10 years, naturally all the arrows of criticism will be on them. Any result other than the championship will be considered a failure for them.

Their squad this year looks really good. They have high quality high profile players, especially on the offensive line. Although Turkish players seem a little weak, the quality of foreign players is very high. They could've made better transfers in defense and midfield. But as long as they score goals, the weaknesses there don't show up too much. 8 out of 8 is a great start, but if they want to win the title, there must be more to come.

After losing out on the title race to Galatasaray last season, Fenerbahce has decided to make amends to their loss of last season with the perfect start in the Turkish Super Lig season this campaign.
They're currently in the first spot in the league table after winning all their eight league matches and are closely followed by league rivals Galatasaray who has won seven and drawn one of their eight league matches. Interesting competition in the Saudi League

Fenerbahçe have won 8/8 of their games this season. Fenerbahce leading at the top of the league. The referee's decisions were very controversial in the match. Sports commentators could not understand the decisions made by the referee. I think there were mistakes in the referee's decisions in this match. If the referees' phones and all communication sources were checked before and after these matches, we would find out what's going on, but there is currently no power in the country that can address this. It's difficult to reveal these unless operations are carried out like in Italy.

Beşiktaş got 3 points tonight. It would not be right to evaluate Beşiktaş in this game, because İstanbulspor is one of the weakest teams in the league.

Two weeks later there is the Galatasaray-Beşiktaş derby.
Galatasaray is the favorite and most probably we will win.

Fenerbahçe played well and got 3 points.

This was Besiktas' first match without their manager. Burak Yilmaz was the caretaker manager and they managed to win by 2-0. However I don't know what they can do in the other matches from now on. The team is in a really complex situation. Senol Gunes has left and they are going to reelect their president soon as well.

However it is awkward to see that the person who wanted an election for presidency and who became a candidate for that election are the same person.    Why would Ahmet Nur Cebi want to be a candidate for this job in this situation? He just needs to let the position go for some other person completely.

Beşiktaş beat Istanbulspor comfortably today. Ghezzal's recovery from injury and his return to the team is very important. He played well in this match. I have no doubt that as his form improves, he will have better games and he will carry Beşiktaş's team play upwards. Before Ghezzal, we only relied on Aboubakar's individual skills. Aboubakar carried us very well when Ghezzal was injured, but he couldn't do more on his own and football is not an individual sport. I have no hopes for Beşiktaş this season, but with Ghezzal back in the team we will undoubtedly be on a better path...

Hatayspor won at home. They are now one of the three unbeaten teams in the league. They had a good start with Volkan Demirel. They played good games in the league and their comeback was impressive, especially against Trabzonspor. After the national team games they will travel to Fenerbahçe. I honestly expect them to suffer their first defeat here, Fenerbahce are in great form and don't even give their opponents a chance to score. Today in the Kasimpasa game we saw that Kasimpasa didn't even have a scoring position except for one shot on the Fenerbahçe goal. Fenerbahçe has built a good squad and showed once again today that it is the biggest candidate for the championship this year. I can't wait for the derby matches.

Beşiktaş hasn't scored more than 2 goals in the league. This seems to be the biggest problem right now. If a big team can't score 3 goals even once in 8 games, it means there is a serious problem. There is no problem in creating positions or shooting. They have the highest percentage of possession, but inaccurate crosses and wrong finishing choices prevent them from scoring. This is the first problem Burak Yılmaz must solve.
Today's game against İstanbulspor was easy as expected, but more goals could've been scored. They need to score more goals against such weak opponents and boost the morale of the team. The match was a bit uninspiring, there should've been a more spectacular score. Still, it was important to get 3 points and stay at the top four.

Rizespor was the winner in the Black Sea derby. Samsunspor started the league and had a good transfer season but couldn't get the results they wanted. Samsunspor drew with Sivasspor in the first week of the league and then suffered defeat in all the matches they played. Despite being down to 10 men early on, Rizespor resisted Samsunspor well and got the 3 points. Samsunspor is currently going badly and the fact that they could not even score a goal against Rizespor who played 77 minutes with 10 men shows that they have a big problem as a team.

After Şenol Güneş resigned, Beşiktaş played its first match today. Burak Yılmaz was the head coach of the team. Beşiktaş defeated its weak opponent easily. Vincent Aboubakar scored a magnificent goal. Beşiktaş will play Galatasaray next. A very important three points for both teams. Both teams will do their best. It will be an enjoyable derby to watch.

Fenerbahçe played very comfortably against Kasımpaşa and managed to get 3 points from this match. They have managed to continue their way without losing any points so far, winning 8 of 8 matches. We can say that they started the league really well.
Next is their match against Hatayspor. Hatayspor is playing better than I expected this year and is a team that can make surprises, perhaps Fenerbahçe will lose its first points with the next match

well, it seems that this season we will see a situation that will remind us of last season, I'm talking about when last season fenerbahce were leading the league, they were doing very well at the top of the league until the international break came for the cup games of the world and it's unbelievable that when the world cup games ended and the leagues resumed, Fenerbahce seemed to no longer be the same team, they started to lose a lot and Galatasaray, who were not being a very consistent team before the international break, started to be a better performing team after the international break

That's why I'm wondering if this time things will go differently or not, of course there's no World Cup this time, so the break won't be very long, but it's still a break, and the trend is that when players go to play for their national teams when they return, we find out that they are injured, and when a team is at the top and is faced with the situation of seeing its good players being injured due to national team games, then it becomes frustrating for the team. top team that sees the next games losing points. That's why you need to know how to manage a team well, have many players who can be capable of replacing other good players on the team

In the case of this dispute between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, I see that the bad luck of one of the teams of having many injured players would mean that the dispute would be decided, I hope that this time Fenerbahce will be luckier than last season and they will be champions. I know it won't be an easy task, the points difference isn't big, on the contrary it's very small, so it will take a lot of luck for Fenerbahce to be champions.

Galatasaray made no mistakes against Antalyaspor. Galatasaray managed to defeat Antalyaspor 2-0 at Antalyaspor's home. A quite significant three points because Champions League matches require a really high level of effort. After a great effort, football players become mentally and physically exhausted.

Mauro Icardi scored and assisted. I think he is the best striker in the league. Other goal came from Sanchez. Galatasaray will play Beşiktaş next.

This is a team that ought to be performing well as expected after their very good performance at the champions league when they defeated the Manchester United team last week. Icardi is a great player and he continues to show his expertise both in the league games and champions league. He is a player to look out for when they need goals and he’s always ready to see that the ball hit inside the net for his team to win matches. I really like him and he’s a player that they can depend on even in tough situations.

Galatasaray vs Besiktas will be an important match for the course of the league. Both teams' strikers are in great form and we can expect a lot of goals in this match. Galatasaray is obviously playing worse in the league than in Europe but they are managing to get points.
Basaksehir, as you said, needs some time and after a few weeks I think the team of Cagdas Atan will settle down. Cagdas Atan took charge of Basaksehir after a successful season at Kayserispor and has not yet achieved successful results. They will come to their senses soon.

Anrtalyaspor sadly doesn't have strong enough squad to compete with Galatasaray so its no surprise it was rather easy win for Galatasaray. I think Galatasaray will be getting better and Beşiktaş match will be key. Congratulations to people who bet on Galatasaray at that match.
I think Başakşehir performs way below their capacity its insane. Gaziantep is one of the weaker squads of the league so this win should not blind anyone. I think Başakşehir favoring bets should be definitely avoided for couple more months...

Emre Belözoğlu won 3-0 in his first game in charge of Ankaragücü. While the first half ended in a goalless draw, the home team had no difficulty in getting into scoring positions in the second half and relaxed with 2 goals at the beginning of the second half, leading 2-0. The last goal was scored by Macheda in the last minutes. In a game where Tolga Ciğerci and Garry Rodrigues were the stars, Ankaragücü managed to get 3 points with 3 goals.
Kayserispor are in poor form after the departure of Çağdaş Atan. While they have a chance to turn this in their favor, they need to regain their old form as soon as possible.

Of course him,ex Inter Milan striker together with Zaha ex Roma striker make a huge difference in a league like the Turkish Superlig and they are the most favored to win the title during the season.Of course strong competition is being thrown at them by a 0 error so far Fenerbahce which they will play today against Kasimpapa and I don't think they will suffer that much to get the three points in that game.

What I am surprised here is Besiktash who the management made clear that they didn't care much about European competitions and they were punting everything to win the league yet they are not the best performers here.

Adana Demirspor has been in great form. Adana Demirspor beat Trabzonspor. Adana Demirspor continued their streak in this week as well. Adana Demirspor is really different from other Anatolian teams. Adana Demirspor are literally above Beşiktaş right now in the league. They show the best performance after Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe.

After winning the title they are just going down and are worst and worst each season. Trabzonspor's poor performance again in this match. There are rumors that Trabzonspor will dismiss Nenad Bjelica.

Champions League matches require a really high level of effort. Galatasaray defeated Manchester United in the Champions League after a great effort and then completed the Turkish league without losing any points. We are making an important step towards becoming a team. I really liked the performances of Boey, Davinson and Abdülkerim. Especially, Davinson's performance was very good. He raised the quality of the team defense. He proved his quality even in the few games he played. I don't think we need to comment on Icardi. He is the best striker in Türkiye.
