AN OPINION / Mustafa ÇULCU

Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş will play the first derby of the Super League 2026-27 season in Kadıköy tomorrow. Vedat Muriqi and Dusan Vlahovic stand out as the strikers who will be at the forefront of the match with the increase in their form. While Vlahovic scored a hat-trick after 6 years, Muriqi Beşiktaş stands out as the only team in which he scored a goal.

Following UEFA's updated squad values notification, Galatasaray became the most valuable team in the league with 411.75 million Euros. Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş, 268.6 million Euros and Trabzonspor, ranked 2nd, 3rd and 4th, respectively, with 293.2 million Euros and 186.6 million Euros. The total value of the Big 4 clubs is 1.16 billion Euros, and the other 14 teams of the league are worth 530 million Euros in total.

In his post on his social media account, Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic stated his privilege of wearing the F.Bahçe jersey, thanked everyone and the fans of the club and wished him many more successes in the future.

Beşiktaş's Serbian forward Dusan Vlahovic scored 3 goals against Çorum FK in his 4th match and emphasized his championship goal and said that he would be effective in the Fenerbahçe derby.

It is criticized that the new foreign player rule introduced by TFF President İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu reduces the opportunities of Turkish youth by increasing the number of foreign players under the age of 23. While clubs increase the transfer fees of these players, they do not see any advantage for Turkish players. In addition, the financial regulation regarding clubs' withholding tax refunds makes the financial situation of the clubs difficult and is aimed at amateur sports.

Bursaspor defeated İstanbulspor 4-0 on its home field in the 5th week of Trendyol 1st League. At the post-match press conference, Bursaspor coach Mustafa Er emphasized the effect of good team play and spectator support, while Istanbulspor coach Barış Kanbak admitted that their individual mistakes continued and that they acted to panic in the counter-attack attempt.
