Brasileiro Serie A fantasy football has, if anything, overdelivered this season. It’s no wonder that more and more football fans are tuning in to witness the South American footballing spectacle.
But who are the players that are going to win you a fantasy football (cartola) contest? These are the picks that, I think, will improve your team ahead of Round 20 of the Brazilian Serie A.
These Are the Players You Need for Fantasy Football in the Brasileiro Serie A for Round 20
Last week, Gremio’s Marlon terrorised Atletico Mineiro’s defences coming from the left flank. He’s a good pick for this week, as is teammate Balbuena.
If you’re looking for a great keeper likely to keep a clean sheet, look no further than veteran. Fluminense’s Fabio is also, predictably, in fine form.
What about natural goal scorers? Of course, Kaio Jorge is a great talent, but Internacioal have a relatively stable defensive structure. My suggestion is to consider Neguaba from Mirassol FC, along with Mattheus Martins of Botafogo.
Vasco da Gama – Corinthians Picks?
I can’t hide my affection for both these teams, Corinthians in particular. But, just as well, I can’t deny that both have been major disappointments these seasons.
Still, just like the embarrassing FC Santos, both historic clubs have been capable of delivering the odd gem.
Corinthians did win 3-0 against Vasco just a few weeks ago. But things have changed. Vasco’s 6-0 victory away to Santos, I think, should be enough to breed enthusiasm.
Top picks? Philippe Coutinho is finally at his best. David and Lucas Piton should be on your team.
Meanwhile, Corinthians’ Breno has racked up the points consistently. Memphis Depay may be worth the trouble if you can afford him.
The Players You Need to Avoid in Round 20
Yes, we’ve all seen Neymar’s tears last week. And while I am glad that he’s returned to the pitch, it doesn’t look like this is the end of Santos’ misery. Too risky of a cartola pick!
RB Bragantino are also in free fall and cannot recommend players like Jhon Jhon, Fernando or Mattheus Fernandes for the meantime.
