Brasileiro Serie A fantasy football is the real deal, a game centred around football fate from arguably the world’s most entertaining football league. See me in private for a word Hinchas argentinos.
But you may need some help ahead of Round 28. There are famous stars about, of course, but not all of them will be playing. There are always great youngsters around, but some of them are already thinking about their European transfers. Who do you pick?
I’ve a few suggestions that should improve your Cartola, fantasy football selection right away.
These Are the Players You Need for Fantasy Football in the Brasileiro Serie A for Round 28
You’re playing for XFC, remember! But let’s remind ourselves what the Brasileiro players are doing it for. The winner is decided in December and becomes Campeão Brasileiro. That team is currently Botafogo.
Next, the top six teams qualify for the Copa Libertadores outright, and the next two in the table go into the qualifiers. Finally, places 9 to 14 make it into Copa Sudamerica, a kind of South American counterpart to the Europa League.
Ok. Speaking of favourites to win the league, of course, we focus on Palmeiras, who take on Red Bull Bragantino, a team whose current squad, technically, has been crafted with the advice of Jurgen Klopp. Tough game this one. This means that goalie Weverton is a sensible choice, as are defenders Murilo and Fuchs. Roque and Anderson are worth picking if you can afford it.
RB Bragantino looks good as well, with Jhon Jhon a must-have pick along with Fabinho (no, not that one).
Are Flamengo holding on for a late-season challenge on the title? Quite possibly, but playing away to Botafogo makes it a difficult task.
You may want to consider De Arrascaeta, of course, for this one. Emerson, Jorginho, and Pedro are always good picks as well. Meanwhile, Savarino, Allan and Vitinho should come alive for Botafogo in this game.
Is Vasco da Gama any good nowadays? Sometimes. The team is the favourite to win against the Northerners Fortaleza. Yes, Coutinho and Moura are worth picking if you can afford it. Meanwhile, Fortaleza’s Guzman can be a smart pick.
Finally, Santos meeting Corinthians should be a derby for football hipsters. This could be the Neymar vs. Depay derby. Sadly, neither might be starring in this one. Instead, get Santos’ Ze Rafael and 1* card in FootballCoin, Lautaro Diaz. Yuri Alberto is Corinthians’ star player. I’d also pick Maycon for this.
The Players You Need to Avoid in Round 28
Botafogo fans may have to do without Kaio, Alex Telles and Bastos all out through minor injuries. Meanwhile, Danilo and Saul Niguez are also likely to be missing this week.
Fortaleza’s Matheus Pereira is suspended for this one.
Corinthians are without Kaio. Vasco da Gama’s Thiago Mendes is out.
And, of course, Neymar is out injured again.
