CAG vs SAS Dream11 Picks
Goal-Keeper
At a time when Cagliari’s defence has cut a forlorn figure, a team which has been quashed by almost everyone they have come across, Alessio Cragno has managed to remain unfazed. The goal-keeper has grown in stature, a player who has risen in stature owing to the resilience he’s shown in the face of adversary.
Defenders
Four matches on the spin have seen Cagliari fail to come up with a goal in the league. The side’s waning defence has gone onto regress with each passing gameweek, a torrid and lax attacking slot which has lost its way to lead to the side’s downward spiral in the competition.
It’s a discourse which sees us opt for the services for Sassuolo’s entire backline for the impending affair, a clash where the visiting team will have little qualms in quelling the home team from scoring. All of Mert Muldur, Vlad Chiriches, Gian Marco Ferrari and Georgios will be inculcated in our side, players who can further extend Cagliari’s attacking bereavements.
Midfielders
Jeremie Boga has been serenaded with laurels, a player for whom Sassuolo’s ardent supporters have crooned plaudits this season. It’s down to the inroads he’s made at the club in the ongoing edition of the league with the player having gone onto shown how treacherous a name he can be to defend against with his 11 goals.
He’s partnered up by Hamid Junior Traore while the home team will see us opt for the services of the diminutive and indomitable Marko Rog, a name whose ball handling abilities have seen him come up with some ravishing layups for his counterparts.
Strikers
The 17 goals and 7 assists he has to his name this season have not only seen Francesco Caputo spearhead his side’s attacking slot but have seen him emerge as one of the most imperious names in the competition. Cagliari on the other hand see us indulge in the services of the guile filled and plucky Joao Pedro, someone whose 17 goals make him a travesty to square off against.
He’s joined up by Giovanni Simeone who has the 10 goals, two players who will hold the key towards their side’s chances of coming out unscathed from the faceoff.
Captain And Vice-Captain
His hand in a gargantuan 24 goals see us opt for Caputo as our side’s captain while Boga is the vice-captain.
