EURO 2024 Fantasy Türkiye Top Picks

In this article we take a look at the EURO 2024 Fantasy In this article we take a look at the EURO 2024 Fantasy Türkiye top picks. Here we touch upon the recent form of Türkiye, how they achieved qualification, highlight their best picks, and anything else of relevance.

Our EURO 2024 Fantasy Türkiye top picks could be crucial for managers. Knowing how a team has been performing recently can be helpful. But, knowing who the best picks from each team can be essential for the tournament ahead.

Türkiye have been a mixed bag when it comes to form over the years. Their last World Cup was in 2002, there Türkiye finished second in the Group behind Brazil, eventually crashing out against Italy in the Quarter-Finals.

Their latest EURO campaign was disastrous, finishing rock bottom in their Group and going without claiming a single point throughout.

Türkiye then went onto top their Group in their recent Nations League campaign, winning four, drawing one, losing one and scoring a massive 18 goals.

Türkiye continued their form in EURO 2024 Qualifying. As we can see pictured below they topped their Group by a single point, won five out of their eight matches and netted 14 goals.

The friendlies following their EURO Qualifiers didn’t go to plan however, they lost against both Hungary and Austria, and managed to clinch a point against Italy.

EURO 2024 Fixtures

Türkiye come up against Georgia in their opening match. Georgia are yet to feature in a World Cup or a EURO’ competition so this is their debut season in a tournament of this size. There are major question marks over their quality after finishing fourth in their Qualifying Group and squeezing through in the play-offs.

They then go onto play their toughest opposition in the Group Stage, Portugal. Portugal were relentless in Qualifying, winning each and every single one of their 10 matches and conceding just two goals. They may be a mountain too high to climb for Türkiye.

Türkiye finish their Group campaign off with a fixture against a Czechia side whom finished second in their Qualifiers behind Albania but whom also secured a fourth place finish in their latest Nations League campaign.

Top Picks – Abdülkerim Bardakcı

Rotation and doubt within the Türkiye starting line-up makes things difficult when selecting their best players.

For those looking to invest in a Türkiye side whom kept just three clean sheets and conceded one goal on average per game in the Qualifiers then centre-back Abdülkerim Bardakcı (€4.5m) could be one of their safest picks in terms of gametime.

Abdülkerim Bardakcı played 27 matches for club Galatasaray last season, scoring four goals and maintaining an average of 3.7 ball recoveries per game. He showed goal threat again in EURO Qualifying too after scoring.

Hakan Çalhanoğlu

There is no denying Türkiye can score goals after netting 18 in their Nations League and 14 goals in their Qualifying matches. Because of this and taking into account their fixtures against Georgia and Slovakia, there could be potential to invest in their frontline.

One man we should consider is Hakan Çalhanoğlu (€6.5m). The Inter star finished his 23/24 Serie A campaign with 13 goals and three assists. He was hugely influential in their title winning season and his numbers reflect that.

For country, Hakan Çalhanoğlu has been a major figure within competitions. Although he failed to produce anything of significance in Qualifying Çalhanoğlu bagged two goals and one assist in his five Nations League matches, and an impressive three goals and five assists in his World Cup Qulifiers.

Hakan Çalhanoğlu also takes his sides corners, free kicks and penalties which increases his appeal even more. With that and the above in mind, Hakan Çalhanoğlu eases into his position amongst the EURO 2024 Fantasy Türkiye top picks.

Arda Güler

Türkiye have another fantastic option to consider. Midfielder Arda Güler (€6m) is quickly becoming one of the most exciting youngsters in world football recently. The 19-year-old secured a move to European giants Real Madrid after some jaw-dropping performances for Turkish club Fenerbahçe.

In his latest La Liga campaign Güler played just 10 matches, but in the little gametime he did play he managed an impressive six goals. The youngster is quite new to the international scene but he did manage to convert in one of his EURO Qualifying matches.

One to Watch – Kerem Aktürkoğlu

Kerem Aktürkoğlu (€7m) is a player we should all keep an eye on. The in-game striker has been producing some questionable form as of late according to Türkiye fans which has led them to believe he won’t start their first match.

However, those that have seen Kerem Aktürkoğlu play know it may not take him long to break back into the starting line-up if that is the case. As well as amassing 12 goals and six assists in his 37 league matches for Galatasaray, Aktürkoğlu also netted twice in his five EURO Qualifiers.
