Fantasy football, tips for the 24th matchday of Serie A

The twenty-fourth day begins today with the advance of 15 Rome-Genoa. It starts again after a week off. An important round with the Milan derby but not only, several matches that can mark the future of the teams, such as the Salernitana-Spezia clash, important in terms of salvation. Let’s see which players are strongly recommended on this day.

Block Rome and Atalanta

–

Let’s start with the usual two blocks (goalkeepers and defenders). We rely on two teams competing for a single goal, qualification for the next Champions League. Roma hosts Genoa in the match that opens the round at 3 pm. Rui Patricio (19 credits) will try to close the door: so far he has done so, in the league, eight times in twenty-three games, the last in the home match against Cagliari. The defense, with the return of Smalling (19 credits) to full capacity, has found greater solidity, with the exception of the blunder against Juventus. Good push from Karsdorp (12 credits) on the right wing: the Dutchman can create superiority with his strides. Atalanta will try to defend fourth place from the assaults of Juventus and Rome. To do this he must beat Cagliari at home in the match scheduled for tomorrow at 12.30. Musso (19 credits) is on the rise after a bad start to the season. Watch out for the offensive projections of captain Toloi (18 credits), dangerous on the development of a corner but not only since he often pushes himself on the trocar. On the bands Zappacosta (16 credits) can hurt by taking advantage of the left-handed band of Cagliari, not exactly the strong point of the island team. Another option for the goal, in this round, is Skorupski (14 credits), the extreme defender of Bologna who hosts a very offensive Empoli but who concedes a lot. Watch out for De Silvestri (14 credits): always dangerous and already with three goals to his credit. Finally, never underestimate De Sciglio (10 credits): the Juventus side is always a valid option to include for your eleven and recently he also did badly in the offensive phase with the goal scored against Roma.

Median with bonus

–

There’s no two without three. Sergio Oliveira (22 credits) has scored two goals in two appearances in Serie A. He challenges the cabal and will try to score for the third consecutive game. After all, he has shown that he knows how to do it peremptorily in this first glimpse of experience in the Giallorossi. It is certainly the most “paid” profile by fantasy coaches in repair auctions. He deserves trust for how he has conquered the median of Rome, with technique and great personality. Another constant reference in this column is Piotr Zielinski (30 credits). The Pole is always the fulcrum of Napoli’s offensive maneuver, but he hasn’t scored in the league for over two months (match on 4 December with Atalanta) and against Venice he will try to find the scoring vein (5 goals and 5 assists). The arrival of Zakaria in the Juventus midfielder can ‘unhook’ a player like Rabiot (12 credits) on an offensive level, so far very disappointing from all points of view. The Frenchman will have to redeem himself and that with Verona can be an opportunity to change the outcome of his season with the Juventus shirt.

All about the attack

–

A bonus to mitigate the rumors due to Tiago Pinto’s conference. Words, in some ways, misunderstood. Niccolò Zaniolo (18 credits) will try to make the pitch talk: the couple with Abraham works, the young playmaker is becoming very dangerous in the last meters. He can hurt Genoa. The derby of the Madonnina is approaching. In the first leg Calhanoglu (32 credits) scored a goal which, in fact, unlocked him after an initial period of tarnish. It has now been out of nets since 12 December. He will try to recharge the ‘batteries’ against his former team. Finally, space for Soriano (18 credits): one of the biggest disappointments of this championship, especially if you compare the numbers of last season. From the 9 goals of the last tournament to the current ‘zero’ box: a decidedly unforeseeable situation. Against Empoli, a team that plays and lets play could light up and shake up its year. Vlahovic (44 credits) wants to appear in Juventus as legends of the caliber of Sivori and Charles did, but also great champions like Tevez and Higuain: that is, with a goal. The opponent is Tudor’s Verona. The Serbian will immediately try to pick up the thread and continue the march. With Zapata still in the pits, Muriel (34 credits) warms up at the center of the Orobic attack: the Colombian finally seems to have returned to his levels. He can do well against the Cagliari defense, willing but static: he could suffer from the high gears of the South American striker. Finally, the Milan derby. Very important race for both teams. The Rossoneri present themselves with the double absence of Ibrahimovic and Rebic. The weight of the attack, therefore, is everything for Olivier Giroud (25 credits), an expert center-forward who often exalts himself in the matches that matter. We therefore rely on his great personality. He can be the man of the Rossoneri derby.
