Fatih had a solid last season and they finished 7th. Never in any trouble and only the top 4 teams scored more than Fatih’s 75 league goals in 38 matches. Especially at home Fatih were very aggressive. They scored 40 goals in their 18 home games. Unfortunately, bad finances led to drastic changes this off-season. The manager left. Now the inexperienced 34-year-old Alparslan Erdem will be taking his first steps as a head coach. He has to rebuild the squad literally from scratch with 8 of the regulars from last season no longer in the squad. Fatih have very strong connections in Italy though. They already brought several talented players from the Albion. More are certain to follow. The main concern remains the attack. After scoring so many goals last season Fatih’s key forwards have moved on now. Have only 2 wingers and 1 centre forward on the roster right now. Will be adding new players in these areas soon. Fatih hope that somehow their young manager will inspire a good season. The scouts need to find him plenty of good additions though. They need to do that fast too.

Target


Staying out of trouble. To do that need more reinforcements.
