Fantasy football, 11 possible surprises on matchday 2 according to artificial intelligence

The initial rounds of the season offer few certainties to fans. And here then the Fantagoat algorithm comes to the rescue, offering ten possible names of protagonists in all departments

Each day of Serie A has its own unknowns in store, but during the first few weeks it is even more difficult to deploy the formation. This is why the FantaGOAT tool comes in handy: it considers over 7000 variables, including the shape of the player compared to the shape of the team in which he plays and that of the opposing team. So let’s reveal 11 possible surprises of the day, players who could be underestimated by fantasy coaches, but who have excellent Deployability on FantaGOAT.

goalkeepers

We begin to fill our training from goal, and if Meret is also the best to deploy for this week, under the department tops we find Caprile (21 credits) who has a Deployability of 6.31 despite the bad mistake made against Verona, which resulted in the goal scored by Bonazzoli. During the 1st day of the championship, however, Empoli only conceded 0.5 xG (expected goals) to Verona, and against Monza they could try to keep a clean sheet. Speaking of Caprile also from an auction point of view, he is not a goalkeeper to be judged for a single mistake committed, on the contrary: for this very reason he could be purchased at the final price.

defenders

Let’s move on to defense, and the 5th defender of the day for Deployability is Roger (9 credits), which will try to confirm after the assist served to De Ketelaere. Just below him, with a Deployability of 6.44, we find Juan Quadrado (26 credits). The Colombian should also start from the bench against Cagliari, but we know very well Inzaghi, a coach who makes substitutions early: Cuadrado could have more than 30 minutes to give a bonus to his fantasy coaches. According to FantaGOAT, then, another player to be taken into consideration for the 2nd day is Lazarus (17 credits), who will play against Gilardino’s Genoa. Sarri’s winger boasts a Deployability of 6.30, although last season with Sarri he brought in 0 goals and 0 assists. He sure can be a good bet.

midfielders

In midfield, on the other hand, we rely on Garcia’s Napoli and also on the players who will start on the bench against Sassuolo: yes, because Elmas (29 credits) has a Deployability of 6.87 and could be decisive even in the current game. We recall that the Macedonian comes from a season with 6 goals and 3 assists in just 1627 minutes, just over half the season. The FantaGOAT algorithm, then, still trusts Kamada (32 credits) after the opaque 5.5 received after the defeat in Lecce. He has a Deployability of 6.82, which he will try to show off despite 0 shots and 0 chances created during his 1st Italian game. More defensive midfielder, but to whom the Italian allows the possibility to insert himself, he is Mandrake (31 credits). Goal scored against Genoa, but not only: he was also the first player for Passaggi Progressivi, the most proactive in the construction phase. We complete the midfielder pool with a name that is rarely used by fantasy coaches, not a great bonus holder. DeRoon (28 credits)however, has a Deployability of 6.53 and has an easy match on paper, the one against Frosinone: he can be your certainty in midfield, to be joined, why not, by slightly more risky players.

strikers

And in attack? After the usual Osimhen, Lautaro and Immobile we find Castellanos (35 credits), with a very high Deployability of 7.55. He won’t start, but he can also strike in a few minutes: Lazio was the 4th team for xG (goals expected) during the 1st day of Serie A, despite the defeat. This means that Castellanos could have his chances even if he comes on during the game. Retegui (51 credits), on the other hand, not only will he be the starter, but he will have the weight of Genoa’s attack on his shoulders: the game is not the easiest, but he has a Deployability of 6.37 and could have Malinovskyi, the new Rossoblu signing, by his side. To conclude on a high note, another name to deploy is Thuram (52 ​​credits), with Deployability 7.50. Against Monza Lautaro scored a brace, Arnautovic served an assist; but he didn’t stand by, he attempted the shot 2 times and created 3 goal chances. Will it be the right time?
