Turkey - MCSL - Misli.com Sultanlar Ligi - 2020/2021

  • Ilkin is doing an incredible job at offense and so far her reception is also fine. More than half of the sets are going to Alessia since Güldeniz iş basically second Libero on the court. She is not covering that much space at reception line though 🤔


    Polen was playing well till the middle of the set but at the end she is not the type of person who would kill the set/match points. That's the problem of thy

  • Galatasaray setter putting a bad performance on the game

  • This seems to be an epic failure of Galatasaray at begin of season - they lost already their first match...

    Yea, I'm not surprised, I wasn't that optimistic for GS in top 4-5 as them as others, right now Rykhliuk is carrying a lot of baggage for those first two matches, more than she usually does. So I'm not sure if she can keep up with that either. With that said, is the team a flop?No, not at all, they just have 1 foreigner and implement their locals very well in the team currently, even Sude gets playing time (though I wish she played starter) and Ilkin is doing a great job definitely.


    I really hoped GS could get some other foreigner MB at least like Jack instead of Ergul, not that she is bad but that kind of lethal MB + a better setter could have made them more dangerous imo.

    In that case they need to hire a good setter either.

  • GS can change alot with a setter+MB transfer. I think Ergul is not the problem but Selin is, she doesnt have the quality to play in a team aiming for a 4th place, she can be a good bench MB though as 3rd option. GS does not even have a 3rd MB so they used their young player who is 183 cm tall and has 0 experience, that is how bad Selin was today.


    Cagla has so much talent but has 0 creativity as setter and this didnt improve since her Vakifbank times. Nilay is talentless and at the age of 34, I think things won't get better (not sure why they signed 2 years contract with her lol). So I hope they either find a fine setter or take U19 setter Cagla Salih as 3rd setter to A team and use her when Cagla fails.

    I agree, Ergül iş not the problem, she is just fine but a foreigner instead of selin could have improved this team a lot.


    Indeed I wish any other low budget team does the same strategy of GS. Hire 1 foreigner but really good one just like Rhykliuk, instead of 3 mediocre players. Building a team with experienced players and youngsters will pay off at the end of the season.


    I hope Ataman will use Ilkin&Sude duo throughout the season and keep Güldeniz as back row specialist

    Fun fact is, Sinead Jack is in Turkey, did not sign with a team, obviously wants to play in Turkey and her husband is playing for Bursa. Can there be a better opportunity than this unless she is pregnant?


    I think what GS desperately needs is a setter, they should either take U19 setter to the A team and have 3 setters (since Nilay is useless - I mean Ataman got mad after her terrible 2 sets in a row and replaced her immediately lol) or hire a foreign setter, but there seems to be noone available.


    Before this match, GS manager Okan Böke tweeted that they will continue season with the same team for both mens and womens teams, however they will only transfer a Cuban young player as an investment but he didn't release for which team. I assume it will be mens team. Once again fun fact is, both mens and womens teams are suffering from terrible setter performances and I don't expect the Cuban youngster to be a setter :D

    Male team is already pretty good. They can already play for championship with this roster. I hope the Cuban will be for female team (not as a setter of course😂 but maybe as MB)

  • Tommorow (13:00 (cet) 14:00🇹🇷) Eczacibasi vs Fenerbahce, anyone who can't wait for this match.


    I expect very tie, interesting and quality match. :super:
