Turkey - Misli.com Sultanlar Ligi 2022/2023

  • There is a not-insignificant chance that THY will have a better season than Ecza (let's face it, it probably won't happen, but the only reason for it will be Tijana; if she were indeed to enter a "rest-mode" during this season, as so many in the Turkish twitter have been claiming in the last week she is doing, there is no doubt in my mind THY would end up in front of Ecza).


    Also, who do we think will be the better scorer at the end of the season, Van Ryk or Orthmann? Might be fun to do a poll on it somehow...

    KVR (and I don't think it will be close)

  • I think THY this season is nowhere close to the level of top 3 teams. Their libero duo is very shaky and I am not sure how much their middles will contribute in attacking. Van Ryk needs to perform in her best constantly to keep THY in top 4.


    Eczacibasi has a deeper squad this year and it is way more useful than previous years. Problem is Simge. If she keeps performing like this and they have to use their bench libero, her inexperience might cause some troubles for them.


    Among the lower ranked teams, I really liked Kuzeyboru. Too bad Nursevil got injured today, she was making her team look better than Arelya. I would put my bet on them being the underdog of the season.


    For GS, middles need to score 10-15 points each in every match to make sure they stay in the competition. Let's see how well the connection get in 10 days, before the 1st match against Kuzeyboru. If they end up far from top 4 in mid season, they might just finish the season with Bell & Beren as opposites. Hopefully they will be just 1 lose away so we can see a transfer, shaking things in top of the league.

    how long of a rest mode ? I know she told them to sign a good opposite because she wanted more chances to rest.

  • Beyza as the point leader ???:what:

  • how long of a rest mode ? I know she told them to sign a good opposite because she wanted more chances to rest.

    Not a literal rest, just playing with a foot on the brake, It's the only explanation a good chunk of Turkish twitter can see for Eczacimessy's relatively poor performances. I guess its flattering that they view her as a goddess-like omnipotent figure, but...


    For some reason local MBs underperform in Ecz... I still remember Beyza's phenomenal season in Çanakkale, she got signed by Ecz and hasn't had a good season since, same for Yasemin lol and Merve Atlier... And Merve Atlier is doing great today as she moves away from Ecz :rolll:

    You know, you might be onto something here...:rolll:

  • Beyza is a solid MB and that's it, nothing more. I hope Yasemin and İlayda Uçak will have a good season as I would like to see them in NT :rose:Yasemin got injured last season and because of that she has not played and is now playing really well since the beginning of this season. GS is already playing the Anthi-Popovic-Ayçin system, Bell is playing so badly that he could really start with Beren and I don't think it's that bad:/

    I think gs should play 3 mb system like Belgium NT. Karmen is too good to sit on the bench and I don't think they can get a decent opp at this time of the year

  • Irina gives an interview in Turkish

    I am really very impressed:rose:

  • Why does she always seem to be wearing a head scarf whenever she is being filmed? Is she Muslim? AFAIK, it isn't a requirement for female players to wear them for religious purposes in Turkey...it's kinda annoying if it's just a fad, if I'm honest.

  • Well obviously it's not required in Turkey, there is literally no girl in Sultanlar Ligi wearing headcarfs.


    Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I think she just likes headpieces, I've seen her wear it in several ways, not always covering her hair.
