Five Star Ranking

Turkey are an average nation but do include quite a number of top quality players such as Arda Turan, Sabri Sarioglu, Nihat, Emre Belozoglu and Tuncay Sanli. In Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 they were licensed for the first time. Their good Euro 2008 performance resulted in stat increases for many of their key players. Unlike many other nations, most of the Turkish players are widely known by their first names rather than their surnames.

Turkey Squad during Euro 2008 qualification

PES 2010

The team squad has had a shake up but nothing too dramatic, the likes of Nuri Sahin and Colin Kazim-Richards feature for the national team for the first time and the likes of Yildiray Basturk and Tumer Metin have been removed from the 23 man squad and all the players have preset faces. The nation also appear in the same home strip that was worn in PES 2009.

The squad still however features Rustu Recber who announced his retirement in the summer of 2008. He was called up for one World Cup qualifying game, but lost his place again, so much criticism has been called on this action.

Players that missed out on the squad list include, Fatih Tekke, Serkan Kirintili and Gokdeniz Karadeniz.
