Asensio and two-striker plan at Fenerbahçe

Plans for the starting eleven for the Eyüpspor match, which will be played before the international break, have begun to take shape at Fenerbahçe. It has been learned that head coach İsmail Kartal is focusing particularly on his midfield setup and choices in the attacking line.

Kartal used a 4-3-3 system in the Roma and Gaziantep matches; in the last Gaziantep match, Kante, Guendouzi, and İsmail were on the pitch at the same time. While one of these three is expected to be benched for the Eyüpspor match, it is noted that the possibility of İsmail being the one to sit out has come to the fore.

The two-striker option for the attacking line is also on the table for the yellow-navy team. If Kartal, who has been testing Lukaku and Muriç together in tactical drills, turns to this preference, Oğuz and Greenwood are expected to take charge on the wings.

Another alternative for the technical staff is a return to the 4-2-3-1 formation. In this scenario, it is on the agenda to deploy Greenwood behind the striker and give Nene a chance on the right wing.

Following Mert's injury at right-back, Semedo is expected to return to the starting eleven. It is considered certain that the player, who has stronger attacking attributes, will take charge on the right side of the defense against Eyüpspor.

As for Marco Asensio, whose status in the squad is a matter of curiosity, he is expected to take part in the match. However, the plan is for the Spanish footballer to start the contest on the bench and be introduced into the game in the second half.
