Fantasy Picks
Goal-Keeper
Atalanta could have easily ended up losing their previous contest to Sevilla had it not been for the resillinace of Marco Sportiello, a performance which sees him earn a place in our side.
Defenders
After a slow start to the new season, Trent Alexander-Arnold is starting to emulate the form which made him one of the best fullbacks in the game. His assist the last time around for the side saw him win the man of the match award to see him be our pick from the side.
Partnering up with him as ever is counterpart Andrew Robertson who has registered the two assists for the side in the Premier League. The home side on the other hand will see us opt for the services of the versatile Hans Hateboer with the wingback capable of making his presence felt all across the court.
Midfielders
His partner on the other flank, Ruben Gosens has over the years emerged as one of the most attackingly inclined wingbacks in the back. He finds company in the services of Remo Freuler with the CDM winning the ball for his side to pull off quick attacking plays.
Alejandro Gomez will complete the trivalent of picks from the club owing to the one goal and assist he’s hit in the two matches his side have played.
Sadio Mane has yet again been sensational for Liverpool to see us rope him in from the club. From potentially being sold by Liverpool prior to the start of the season to registering the club’s game winning assist against West Ham, Xherdan Shaqiri has truly revived his career at the side.
Strikers
You just can’t keep Mohamed Salah out of the game this season. He has hit the one goal for his side in the CL, one which makes him a must have pick for us today.
Atalanta’s top scorer, Duvan Zapata with the four goals and one assist is in the form of his life at the moment, a player who has enamoured us with his assiduous ability to score in every fixture.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Salah’s penalty against West Ham sees us opt for him as our captain while Zapata is the vice-captain.
