My GW4 Fantacalcio Squad Reveal

We’re starting to get a strong idea of the level at which Serie A teams are this year. We’re starting to learn who is going to cause upsets and which teams are likely to fail despite their best efforts.

I’m playing a 5-4-1 system for GW4. And I’m relying heavily on affordable players this time.

The Serie A contests are played on Pro Mode in FootballCoin. Other leagues, for example, Saudi Pro, use the Easy scoring system

 

Position Player Name Club Card Tier Why Included for GW1
GK Lorenzo Palmisani Frosinone 1★ Affordable, new on the scene and a goalie who could keep a clean sheet in GW4
DEF 1 Simone Cinquegrano Sassuolo 1★ Opponents Juve look shaky on the counter and this is just what this wing-back provides so well
DEF 2 Mario Hermoso AS Roma  4★ Fantastic early start to the season for the central defender
DEF 3 Gabriele Calvani Frosinone 1★ Strong likelihood to play 90 minutes and for Frosinone to keep a clean sheet against Genoa
DEF 4 Danilho Doekhi Lazio 2★ – Free w/ lease Lazio is dealing with changes better than opponents Milan, and Doekhi is becoming one of the team’s main men
DEF 5 Gabriele Bracaglia Frosinone  1★ Frosinone’s players have done enough to warrant consideration for your team this season
MID 1 Giacomo Calo Frosinone 1★ New recruit for one of the better-run teams in Serie A. Nice fixture against Genoa.
MID 2 Cher Ndour Fiorentina 2★ – Free w/ lease Fiorentina has been poor, but a match against Venezia could turn things around
MID 3 Hassane Kamara Udinese 2★ – Free w/ lease Playing Inter is just the kind of game that Kamara needs to build up his reputation
MID 4 Nico Paz Como 3★ Paz is a breakout Serie A star who looks to be only improving
FW Paulo Dybala AS Roma 4★ He’s an assist machine. Should he stay fit, this could be Dybala’s best season
AM Leonardo Bonucci Retired AM 5★ Will give your team 15 points automatically

My 3 Must-Have “Sleeper Picks” for GW4

Jurgen Ekkelenkamp (Powerful Defensive Midfielder) – Strong defensive midfielder with a good ability from free kicks and corners. Smart choice if you’re short a midfielder

Manuel Locatelli (Midfield Maestro) – Jury’s still out on Spalletti’s Juventus. However, Locatelli is clearly enjoying another good season. While I cannot recommend making him the focus of your team, I think that he should be on your radar

Christos Mandas (Lazio) – Lazio is slowly being rebuilt. The team has plenty of issues, but Mandas’ performances in goal, likely will not be one of them
