There 17th day Of Serie A it will open on Saturday 27 December (12.30 pm) with the match between Parma and Fiorentina and will close on Monday 29, at 8.45 pm, with Roma-Genoa. It’s almost training time and after having reviewed the recommended goalkeepers, defenders and attackers, it’s time to put the spotlight on the three midfielders not to be missed in view of the next round of Gazzetta fantasy championship.

the top

After the two failures suffered against Inter and Roma (with Milan he instead obtained an official 6 due to the Super Cup), Nico Paz he wants to make an impact again in the next round against Lecce. The Como star is already at altitude ten bonuses during the season, equally divided between goals and assists, and now he wants to further increase his tally. Fabregas’ team, fresh from two consecutive knockouts, needs to move up the table again and to do so the coach will rely on his most talented player, who however did not particularly shine in the away games at San Siro and the Olimpico. Colorless performances which however do not particularly worry fantasy footballers: in fact, his popularity at Fantasy championship is equal to 58.7%. This despite a price of 52 credits which makes him the most expensive midfielder in the competition together with Calhanoglu. But given his numbers and the level of play expressed, this figure should not be surprising. The advice is therefore to focus on him for the 17th matchday.

certainty

Two goals and an assist for Gianluca Gaetano in the last three games. The Cagliari player scored against Roma and Atalanta, deciding among other things the match against the Giallorossi, and provided an assist in the final matchday draw with Pisa. The number 10 of the rossoblù has therefore contributed in an important way to the two useful results obtained in the last three games by his team, currently fifteenth in the league with 15 points. In the next round the Sardinians will face Torino away and will be in search of precious points. It is unlikely that Pisacane will be without Gaetano, one of the fittest of his team at the moment and able to guarantee him a good contribution in the offensive phase. Focus on the listed rossoblù midfielder 32 credits al Fantasy championshipit could therefore prove to be a good move in view of the next matchday.

the bet

His goal was not enough for Roma to avoid an away defeat against Juventus, but for Tommaso’s morale Baldanzi scoring in Turin can only have done well. The former Empoli player has so far been used by Gasperini among the three men up front and sometimes also as a “false nine” to make up for the absences/difficulties of Dovbyk and Ferguson. An experiment that has had mixed results so far, with the Italian also racking up several insufficiencies. In the last match of the championship at the Allianz Stadium, however, the Giallorossi number 35 obtained his first bonus of the season, giving his team hope of a late comeback. In the next round Roma will face the Genoa of the great ex De Rossi: it is likely that Baldanzi will be given space at least during the match in progress. Betting on him, in the hope that he can continue on the positive wave of the goal scored against the Bianconeri, could prove to be a good idea. Al Gazzetta fantasy championship coast 24 credits.
