As Italian coach Pereira settles issues with Dutch star Robin van Persie, Fenerbahçe goes to Be?ikta? with high morale. Turkish Spor Toto Super League leader Fenerbahçe is set to visit Be?ikta? Sept. 27 in the top game of week six in a bid to increase the point gap over its Istanbul rival to six, while the home side will try to break its derby phobia. 

Fenerbahçe, the Turkish title contender which suffered a 3-1 home loss against Norwegian underdog Molde in a UEFA Europa League Group A qualifier game on Sept. 17, will take on Bursaspor in the Turkish Spor Toto Super League, as rival Galatasaray, which bowed out to Atletico Madrid Sept. 16, will visit Trabzonspor. 

Turkey?s Be?ikta? and Fenerbahçe are set to launch their Europa League group stage campaigns on Sept. 17, with the latter facing a tough task in Group A, which also includes Ajax and Celtic, along with Norwegian club Molde that will visit Istanbul in the opening game. 

Van Persie, Podolski, Mario Gomez, Eto’o and Nani are the brightest new stars of the Turkish Super League, but they are not the only signings this season. Here is the Top 21

The Turkish Super League kicks off with last year's runner-up, Fenerbahçe, taking on Eski?ehirspor in Istanbul, the first game of a season which will be marked by tens of millions of dollars in summer signings by both title contenders and weaker teams alike. 

Turkish club Fenerbahçe?s star-studded squad will not be playing in the Champions League this season after losing a third qualifying ground tie against Shakthar Donetsk. 

Goals from Dario Srna, Oleksandr Gladkiy and Alex Teixeira gave Shakthar a 3-0 victory at home Aug. 5, in the return game of a goalless draw in Istanbul, booking the Ukrainians a place in the playoff leg.

Fenerbahçe players will give their all when the Turkish club visits Shakhtar Donetsk on Aug. 5 in the second leg of a Champions League third qualifying round game.

Having been held to a goalless draw last week at home, Fenerbahçe will need to score at least one goal to advance to the playoffs and extend its chances of claiming a berth in the group stage.

Fiorentina?s German international Mario Gomez has become the latest world star to set up shop in the Turkish Super League after signing a two-year loan deal with Istanbul?s Be?ikta?.

The German international?s arrival follows that of other well-known players in the league, including Ricardo Quaresma, Robin Van Persie, Nani, Lukas Podolski and Sameul Eto?o.

Fenerbahçe, the Turkish giant that has undergone a facelift this summer by picking up Portuguese international Nani and Dutch star Robin van Persie from Manchester United, will return to the Champions League with a third qualifying round game against Ukraine?s Shakhtar Donetsk, after the draw was made on July 17.
