These Are the Players You Need for Fantasy Football in the Brasileiro Serie A for Round 25
Botafogo drew away to Gremio last week. But the team did it with 10 men on the pitch. And, lo and behold, the club’s not as far away from the top position as you might think. Jeffinho and Freitas were good last week and should carry on their form into Round 25. Strong picks!
You’ll naturally want a few Palmeiras players rounding up your cartola team, considering the club’s recent form. And while playing against River Plate in mid-week may mean some squad rotation, goalie Weverton, striker Vitor Roque and midfielder Felipe Anderson are excellent fantasy football picks.
Sport Recife finally won a game for a change last week. And the team will be smelling blood against fellow Northerners Fortaleza, whose form has decreased colossally over the past months. Where will goals come from? Derek Lacerda, most likely.
I am also backing Corinthians to get back on track although outright winning against Flamengo won’t be an easy mission. I like Vitinho, Gustavo Henrique and keeper Hugo Souza for this one. Meanwhile, Flamengo’s Giorgian de Arrascaeta and Saul Niguez are flying at the moment.
The Players You Need to Avoid in Round 25
Stars aside, it’s important that you keep an eye on players who are likely to be missing from action altogether in Round 25.
Gremio will be without Fabian Balbuena and Carlos Vinicius for a few more weeks. Michel is unlikely to be fit as Palmeiras plays this weekend. Cedric Soares and Andre will give Sao Paulo’s management some headaches. And, Joaquin Correa, Jefferson Savarino and Danilo are Botafogo’s stars that you’re unlikely to see for a while.
