Trendyol Süper Lig Team of The Season Predictions (FC 26)
Hello and welcome to my Süper Lig Team of the Season so far for 2025/26. This season has been defined by one story above all others: Galatasaray’s structural dominance. With 74 points from 31 matches, just 23 goals conceded, and a commanding +49 goal difference, they have controlled the league through defensive stability as much as attacking output. Their advantage at the top reflects not just consistency, but a clear systemic edge. This context makes the Team of the Season selection both straightforward in defence and far more open in attacking areas, where individual brilliance across the league has stood out.
Paul Onuachu has emerged as the league’s most productive forward, combining physical dominance with elite finishing efficiency, while Anderson Talisca offers a different kind of threat — a hybrid scorer capable of impacting games from deeper positions. Marco Asensio has arguably been the most complete attacking midfielder in the league, blending creativity with consistent goal contributions, and Barış Alper Yılmaz provides relentless directness and vertical threat from wide areas, stretching defences throughout the season.
The midfield and defensive selections reflect both structure and balance. Lucas Torreira anchors the game with relentless ball-winning and positional discipline for Galatasaray, while Orkun Kökçü adds control, tempo and final-third contribution from midfield. At the back, the pairing of Abdülkerim Bardakcı and Davinson Sánchez reflects the league’s most effective defensive unit, combining aerial dominance with recovery pace and composure in possession.
There are also several players across the league who have made their mark in different ways. Victor Osimhen provides explosive attacking depth, while Eldor Shomurodov has delivered consistent goal contributions. Yunus Akgün adds creativity and link-up play, and Mohamed Bayo offers reliable finishing output. In wider areas, Dorgeles Nene brings pace and verticality, while Qazim Laçi provides balance and control in midfield. At the back, Emirhan Topçu adds defensive depth, while Florent Hadergjonaj offers consistency and experience in wide defensive roles. Mateusz Lis has earned his place as the goalkeeper in the selection with an outstanding 16 clean sheets, while Wagner Pina and Mustafa Eskihellaç provide balance and defensive work rate from the full-back positions.
