Türkiye Süper Lig Simülasyon

The fixture update that changed the season

The app received a critical update on July 17, 2026. The changelog mentions one thing: the 2026/27 season fixture has been added. That single line of text represents the entire reason this app exists. Without the current fixture list, the prediction and simulation features are useless. The developer, Kartal Uygulama, understands this. They push updates at the start of each new season to keep the app relevant. The update also includes a "Back to Top" feature in the upper left menu. This lets users transition to the new season without losing their progress. The mechanism is simple but essential. You tap the menu, select the option, and the app resets the league table with the new fixture list. Your team ratings and custom logos remain intact. The fixture update is the heartbeat of the app. Without it, the app is a static shell from a past season.

The developer is based in Istanbul, Turkey. The address is listed on the Play Store: İstasyon Mahallesi, 1.Goncagül Sokak, No:10 / 6 Küçükçekmece / İstanbul. This is a residential area, not a corporate office. The app is clearly a solo or small-team project. The developer has published multiple other league simulation apps: English Football Calculator 27, German League Simulator, Symulator Ligi Polskiej, and Champions Football Calculator. Each follows the same pattern. They take a league, add a prediction and simulation layer, and release it. The Türkiye Süper Lig version is the most popular, with over 100,000 downloads. The others have smaller followings. This suggests that the Turkish football market is the developer's primary audience. The app is free with ads and in-app purchases. The business model relies on volume. More users mean more ad impressions. The app does not have a paid version. Everyone gets the same features. The ads are the trade-off for free access.

Prediction mode versus simulation mode

The app has two distinct modes. The first is the prediction mode. You manually enter the result of each match, week by week. There are 306 matches in a full season. That is 18 teams playing each other twice. You predict the score for every single game. The app then calculates the league table based on your predictions. This is the calculator side of the app. The second mode is the simulation mode. Here, the app generates match results automatically. It uses team ratings that you can view and modify. The ratings are numerical values that represent each team's strength. Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe, and Beşiktaş have higher ratings than smaller clubs. You can change these ratings to reflect your own assessment of the teams. The simulation then produces results based on these ratings. The two modes serve different purposes. Prediction mode tests your knowledge of the league. Simulation mode lets you explore "what if" scenarios. What if a weaker team suddenly became stronger? What if a star player left a club? You can adjust the ratings and see how the season would play out.

The interaction between these two modes is where the app's depth lies. You can use the simulation to generate a baseline season. Then you can go into prediction mode and manually override specific matches. This allows you to test how your own predictions compare to the algorithm's. For example, you might simulate a full season and see that the app predicts Galatasaray as champions. You disagree. You go into prediction mode and manually change the results of Galatasaray's matches. The app recalculates the table based on your inputs. This creates a conversation between you and the app. You are not just a passive observer. You are actively shaping the outcome. The app does not explain this interaction in its description. It presents the two modes as separate features. But the real value comes from using them together. This is the kind of depth that keeps users engaged beyond the first week.

European cups and domestic cup mechanics

The app includes European cup competitions. In the first season, the European cup qualifiers are based on real teams that participated in actual tournaments. This gives the initial season a grounding in reality. You are not guessing which teams would qualify. You are using the real ones. In subsequent seasons, the qualifiers are based on your predictions. The teams that finish in the European places in your league table become the qualifiers. This creates a feedback loop. Your predictions in the league determine who plays in Europe. The European results then affect the league in subtle ways. The app does not simulate the European matches in detail. It only determines which teams qualify. But this is enough to add a layer of consequence. Your choices matter beyond the domestic league.

The domestic cup is also included. You can simulate the last five rounds of the cup. This is a knockout tournament with single-leg matches. The app generates results based on team ratings. You cannot manually predict cup matches. They are purely simulated. This is a limitation. The cup is a major part of Turkish football. The Turkish Cup has a long history. The app's decision to only simulate the last five rounds feels incomplete. It skips the early rounds entirely. This might be a technical constraint. Simulating the full cup would require many more matches. The app is already handling 306 league matches. Adding the full cup might slow it down. The compromise is acceptable for a free app. But it is worth noting. The cup is not as deep as the league. It is a secondary feature. The focus is clearly on the league prediction and simulation.

The promotion and relegation system

The app includes the Turkish second division. You can simulate this league using its real fixture list. The top three teams are promoted to the Süper Lig. You can also manually select three teams from the lower league to promote. This is useful if you do not want to simulate the entire second division. You can just pick the teams you want to see promoted. The app then updates the league structure for the next season. This is where the "Back to Top" feature becomes important. Once you have finished a season, you use the menu option to start the new season. The app carries over your promotions and relegations. The fixture list updates to the new season. The cycle continues. This is the core loop of the app. You predict, simulate, promote, relegate, and start again. The app is designed for multiple seasons. Each season builds on the previous one.

The promotion system has a quirk. You can only promote three teams. The Turkish second division has more than three teams. The app simplifies the process. It assumes that only the top three matter. This is a reasonable abstraction. The app is not trying to be a full football management simulator. It is a prediction and simulation tool. The focus is on the top division. The second division is a minor feature. The app gives you control over which teams come up. This is more than most prediction apps offer. You are not stuck with the same 18 teams forever. You can bring in new teams. You can create a dynamic league. This adds variety. Each season can be different. The teams change. The rivalries shift. This is a strong point of the app. It rewards long-term engagement.

Customization options and limitations

The app allows you to customize team logos. You can replace the default logos with images from your device gallery. This is a nice touch. It makes the app feel more personal. You can use real club logos or create your own. The app does not restrict the image format. Any image from your gallery works. The customization extends to team names. You can change the name of any team. This is useful if you want to add a fictional team or rename an existing one. The app also lets you add new teams to the league. The league size is fixed at 18 teams. You cannot change the number of teams. You can only replace existing teams. This is a limitation. The app is designed for the 18-team Süper Lig. It does not support other league sizes. The fixture list is hardcoded for 18 teams. Changing the team count would break the schedule. The developer chose to keep it simple. The app works for one specific league structure. It does not try to be a generic league simulator.

The app also has a "view fixtures" feature. You can see the full season schedule for any team. You can also see the weekly schedule for the entire league. This is useful for planning your predictions. You know which teams are playing each week. The fixture list is accurate for the 2026/27 season. The developer updates it each year. The app does not have live scores. It is not a live football app. It is a simulation and prediction tool. You cannot follow real matches in the app. You can only predict and simulate. This is a clear distinction. The app is for fans who want to test their knowledge. It is not for fans who want live updates. The app's value is in its predictive power. It gives you a sandbox to play with the league.
