Fantasy championship, advice: defense is the best attack. Extra points

“The best defense wins the Scudetto”. Allegri said it in 2018 and, from there, the statistics have almost always proved him right. In the last five years, only Sarri’s Juventus (2019/2020 season) finished the championship at the top without boasting the lowest number of goals conceded. In the Fantasy Championship the same can be said. From the series: the best offense is defense. Don’t believe it? Maybe because you’ve never tried using the modifier. In fact, the rules of the Fantasy Championship foresee that, if you use a module with four or more defenders, you will be entitled to extra points. In short: an average of the votes (bonuses and penalties excluded) of the goalkeeper and the three best defenders. If the number obtained is between 6 and 6.5, you earn a point. If it is between 6.5 and 7 three points, if it is equal to or greater than 7 five bonus points.

THE FANTASTIC FIVE

–

In order to make the most of the modifier, however, it is necessary to build a suitable team, spending more than usual for the defenders and saving in the other departments. The goal is simple: to secure players ‘subscribers’ to 6 on the report card. Last season, Bremer was the best. In the 33 matches played with Torino, he has reached an MV of 6.6. That, taking into account the 3 goals and 7 yellow cards remedied, he reaches 6.93 in terms of fantasy. This year the Brazilian central is rated 39 credits. He could move to a big club (Inter and Juventus are on the trail of him), it’s worth betting on him. Behind Bremer, there is room for Smalling and three AC Milan players. The Englishman, who returned to the top after the arrival of Mourinho, played 25 games and scored 3 goals, never ending up in the yellow card list. The MV 2021/2022 is 6.35, the MM 6.8. To make sure, you will need 36 credits.

PIOLI’S ON FIRE

–

In confirmation of the fact that “the best defense wins the Scudetto”, three AC Milan fans appear in the top 5 of the 2022 defenders. In order, these are Kalulu, Tomori and Calabria (the latter tied with Skriniar and Dumfries). The French baby (rated 28 credits) has collected 1 goal, 2 assists and 4 yellow cards in 24 matches. The average grade is 6.39, the MM 6.58. Tomori follows with 6.37, who has played more – Pioli has used it 31 times – but has never earned bonuses. Considering the 7 yellow cards, he had a phantom of 6.3. To win it, 34 million euros are needed. Calabria (cost 33, MV 6.32, MM 6.67) closes the circle, boasting 25 tokens, 2 goals, 1 assist and 2 yellow cards. On the same step as the new AC Milan captain are Skriniar (FM 6.67), who costs 38 credits but seems very close to leaving Inter. Don’t lose sight of Dumfries, even if it is worth 42 million. Thanks to the 5 goals and 4 assists of the last championship, he ended the season with 32 games and an MM of 7.1.
