CAG Vs ATN Dream11 Picks
Goal-Keeper
Thrust into action immediately since the league has returned, Cagliari’s Alessio Cragno has showed why he’s so deserving of the frugal playing 11 spot he’s been accorded. The team’s goal-keeper has been in tenacious touch, doling out imperious performance after performance to become a mainstay of the side’s rejuvenation.
Defenders
Where Atalanta’s attacking unit has been hailed and deserving of all the plaudits cascaded by the docket, the defensive side of the game hasn’t gone unnoticed either. Albeit lowkey, the defence has done its work in the backdrop for the side to clobber teams and compliment the team’s attacking slot to perfection.
Its not only the defensive side of the game which made this partnership a must have pick for us from the visiting team. In Robin Gosens and Rafael Toloi, the side has too sensational attacking names at its disposal, players who have each provided the 6 assists each for the side to make them indispensable options.
Wingback Hans Hateboer is well equipped in marching towards the attacking docket of the game as well to see him become our third pick along with CB Berat Djimsiti to complete our defensive docket completely painted in Atalanta’s colors.
Midfielders
When Mario Pasalic comes across a side that’s been hit for 45 goals this season, things are set to get extremely joyous for the Atalanta player.

The midfielder has the 6 goals and 7 assists to his name this season, a figure which has taken charge of his side’s aspirations to ensure that the club has been able to claw its way out of the relegation fracas.
He’s joined up by Marko Rog to complete the one-two of picks from the home side for the day’s impending encounter.
Strikers
At a time when Atalanta have missed out on their main attacking names, 14 goal man David Zapata has taken charge of the side’s attacking sorites. The player has ensured his side haven’t been battered by the hectic schedule, a player who could easily go onto emerge as the side’s top scorer at the end of today’s clash.
