Head coach Paul Le Guen played in front of the back four alongside Nigerian Mikel Agu.
But the No.77 shirted player could not help Bursaspor to avoid defeat on the road and were undone by Eljero Elia's 21st-minute goal.
Attamah lasted the entire match as Istanbul Basaksehir open their season with a win.
