Fantasy football in Turkey

Turkey is a big, stats-hungry football country. On the fantasy side the picture is interesting: demand runs high, yet for a long time there was no game where Turkish fans could comfortably play their own league, in their own language. Here is a short map.

FPL is big in Turkey

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is the heart of season-long fantasy worldwide. For the 2025/26 season, 9.5 million managers signed up globally, the highest figure in FPL history. Turkey is a meaningful part of that: active mini-leagues, YouTube channels, Discord and Telegram groups, and long-running threads on forums. The exact Turkish manager count is not published in open sources, but there is no doubt how fluent Turkish fans are in season-long fantasy.

The one catch: FPL only covers the Premier League. A game of the same calibre for the Süper Lig, in Turkish, stayed an empty seat.

What exists on the Süper Lig side

When it comes to season-long fantasy for the Süper Lig, the first name that comes up is Sosyal Lig. Sponsored by Petrol Ofisi, it has been around for a while and has passed a million downloads on Google Play. It has an FPL-style structure: live player stats, weekly squad management, transfers and mini-leagues. On the prize side it gives away non-cash rewards such as cars and fuel vouchers, and its own rules state clearly that prizes cannot be converted to cash.

That said, user reviews are not all glowing. On forums and in app-store reviews, people regularly mention rough start-of-season updates, complaints about scoring, and a requirement to sign in with a social account. So the demand is there, but so is a gap that sticks in mind when expectations are not met.

In 2022 a weekly-format game called Fantazzie also arrived, backed by names like Mackolik. How much traction it has today is unclear.

The gap left open

Two things stand out. First, unlike the Premier League and its FPL, no single Süper Lig game has become the common standard where everyone gathers. Second, a Turkish-language Champions League fantasy game is almost nowhere to be found. European nights are some of the most-watched football in Turkey, yet the chance to follow them through a fantasy game in your own language has stayed limited.

Where Oracle's 11 sits

Oracle's 11 lands right in that gap: Turkish and English, free to play, for both the Süper Lig and the Champions League. We keep the scoring rules on a public rules page, including the difference between provisional and final points and any corrections. We do not use club crests or kits; the game is entirely free to play and built around setting up mini-leagues with friends.
