Besiktas Istanbul
Euroleague ELO profile, season simulation & model record · 2 seasons covered
Also listed in our corpus as Besiktas JK Istanbul. Euroleague team names carry the title sponsor of the season, so this page keeps one stable address for the team itself.
Season ELO trajectory
One point per game day: the team's ELO rating after that day's result, playoffs and Final Four included. Euroleague ELO is season-relative in our engine: every team starts each season at 0, so the value reads as a gap to that season's league average and negative numbers are normal, not a red flag. Because of the re-seed, trajectories are shown one season at a time and seasons are compared through their peak and final values in the table below. Hover a point for the date and the team's league-wide ELO position that day.

How predictable is Besiktas Istanbul?
Sample still small 2026-27 · 1 predicted games

Averaged over the season, Besiktas Istanbul was 44.5% easier to call than the Euroleague average. A team can be easy to call while losing: a predictable season is not a good season.

Season by season
| Season | GP | Pos | Start | Peak | End |

GP counts every Euroleague game in the corpus including the playoffs and the Final Four. Pos is the team's league-wide ELO rank on its last game day of that season, ranked against every team's last known rating on that date. Start, Peak and End are season-relative ELO values (each season re-seeds at 0). The "as" line appears when the team's registered name changed, which in the Euroleague usually means a new title sponsor rather than a new team.
