Only the players who appeared in game rosters were included.[11] Player's are listed in order of appearance. MİY could not signed with new players in Summer 2015, because FIFA decided on two season transfer ban for MİY due to termination of the contract of the MİY's former player David Bičík.[12] The ban was applied for 2015 Winter and Summer transfer seasons. Although the UEFA ban was removed after two transfer seasons, this time TFF did not open transfer table due to financial difficulties. Therefore, no new transfers became possible in 2015–16 season.
