Supercharged Süper Lig XI makes case for ‘best of the rest’

Supercharged Süper Lig XI makes case for ‘best of the rest’

All-star cast for 2026/27

Is the Turkish top flight now the strongest league outside Europe’s traditional top five? A data-led all‑star XI for the 2026/27 Trendyol Süper Lig suggests a compelling argument, with ratings clustered around the 7.0 mark and headline acts across the pitch.

XI and SofaScore ratings

  • GK: Ederson — 6.92
  • DEF: Singo — 6.89; Sánchez — 7.07; Škriniar — 7.11; Aké — 6.80
  • MID: Kanté — 7.09; Gündoğan — 6.97
  • ATT: Salah — 6.91; Greenwood — 7.37; Trossard — 6.95
  • ST: Osimhen — 7.06

Shape and spine

In a tidy 4‑2‑3‑1, the spine is pure pedigree: Škriniar (7.11) leads the back line, Kanté (7.09) anchors midfield, and Greenwood tops the chart at 7.37 between Salah (6.91) and Trossard (6.95). Up front, Osimhen’s 7.06 completes a forward unit with bite. Even the keeper’s mark — Ederson at 6.92 — keeps standards high.

Big names, big four

The selection draws heavily from Turkey’s heavyweights — notably Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe — with contributions from Beşiktaş and Trabzonspor. It’s a spread that mirrors the league’s renewed pulling power and the depth of its domestic title race.

Verdict

On these numbers, the Süper Lig looks every inch the best of the rest: a roster brimming with proven quality, a balanced XI and scarcely a weak link. Europe’s elite may still set the pace, but Turkey’s top flight is closing fast — and doing so with style.
