Everybody in the division was measured and a Fenerbahce man came out on top: 8.78 across the month and 8 goal contributions. There is no serious case for anybody else.
The award the rest of the division reads as a transfer rumour. 7.35 over the month and 1 goal contributions, from a Antalyaspor player whose price has just gone up without anybody at his club doing anything.
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Antalyaspor can pretend not to have heard.
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Kayserispor have lost him in all but the paperwork.
3 assists, 8.56, and a Besiktas player who spent four weekends being the reason somebody else's name went in the paper. It is the least-rewarded skill in football and the easiest one to notice its absence.

Romelu Lukaku is the division's best-marked player — 8.78
The chart that catches everybody a goal tally never will: the centre-half who was immense for four weekends, the holding midfielder nobody outside his own ground has heard of. 8.78 across 4 matches for Fenerbahce.
“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.
It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Alanyaspor can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Joan Tincres is the month's best young player — 7.09

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Gaziantep, and it is not being withdrawn.
4 assists across the month from a Fatih Karagumruk player marked 7.60. Somebody has to open the door before anybody walks through it, and nobody in the league opened more.
“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Abdulsamet Burak will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Kayserispor the goodbyes have quietly begun.
It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Ankaragucu can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.
4 in 2 for Trabzonspor. Nobody outside his own ground is talking about him, which tends to be true of everybody on this list except the man at the top of it.
3 in 2 for Galatasaray. Nobody outside his own ground is talking about him, which tends to be true of everybody on this list except the man at the top of it.
4 in 3 for Sivasspor. Nobody outside his own ground is talking about him, which tends to be true of everybody on this list except the man at the top of it.

7.73 across the month and 3 goal contributions from a Antalyaspor player everybody else in the division now has a file on. His price rose this month without anybody at his club lifting a finger.
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Basaksehir can pretend not to have heard.
The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 7 of them made by a Trabzonspor player marked 7.87, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.

Highest marks in the league belong to a Fenerbahce man
Cengiz Ünder averaged 8.50 over 2 appearances. Nothing about that will trend, and anybody who watched all four games would tell you it was the most accurate thing on this page.
“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Galatasaray heard it as anything else.
It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Alanyaspor can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.
5 in 3 for Besiktas. Nobody outside his own ground is talking about him, which tends to be true of everybody on this list except the man at the top of it.

Marked 8.11 across it, 7 goals and assists between them, and no serious argument from anybody else in the division. Alanyaspor have had the whole benefit of a month somebody else will spend the summer trying to buy.
The award the rest of the division reads as a transfer rumour. 6.76 over the month and 3 goal contributions, from a River Plate player whose price has just gone up without anybody at his club doing anything.

Highest marks in the league belong to a Basaksehir man
Rey Manaj averaged 8.91 over 2 appearances. Nothing about that will trend, and anybody who watched all four games would tell you it was the most accurate thing on this page.
7 goals in 3 games, and nobody else in the league close to it. Fenerbahce have the man every defence in the division is planning around.

Mohamed Salah is the division's player of the month — 9.36
A club's paper reports this as one of its own being honoured. On this page it is what it actually is: a verdict on everybody who played, and it went to a Galatasaray man on 9.36 with 10 goal contributions.
The award the rest of the division reads as a transfer rumour. 7.28 over the month and 0 goal contributions, from a Umraniyespor player whose price has just gone up without anybody at his club doing anything.

5 assists, 8.92, and a Galatasaray player who spent four weekends being the reason somebody else's name went in the paper. It is the least-rewarded skill in football and the easiest one to notice its absence.
“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Emin Eren Sayar had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Romelu Lukaku is the division's best-marked player — 9.40
The chart that catches everybody a goal tally never will: the centre-half who was immense for four weekends, the holding midfielder nobody outside his own ground has heard of. 9.40 across 3 matches for Fenerbahce.

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Fenerbahce hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.
It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Muhammed Şengezer wants continental football; whether Basaksehir can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.
2 in 1 for Kasimpasa. Nobody outside his own ground is talking about him, which tends to be true of everybody on this list except the man at the top of it.
10.00 for a Galatasaray player whose contribution is measured entirely in other people's celebrations. The providers' chart is the one nobody frames and everybody in a dressing room reads.
Marked 8.49 across it, 10 goals and assists between them, and no serious argument from anybody else in the division. Trabzonspor have had the whole benefit of a month somebody else will spend the summer trying to buy.

The division's brightest kid this month plays for Galatasaray
Alexey Batrakov was marked 7.80 and had a hand in 4 goals. Every recruitment department in the country now has a file open, and the club that has him knows exactly what that means.
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Sivasspor can pretend not to have heard.
Everything was agreed until it was not, and Marco Asensio reports back to Fenerbahce with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.
The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 4 of them made by a Galatasaray player marked 8.04, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.
The offer from Kayserispor for Deniz Türüç was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.
