ESP vs SER Dream11 Point Guard

While Spain’s Ricky Rubio has been providing a good amount of assists in every match, the previous encounter saw him come up with 2 steals as well, partaking in the job of a point guard to perfection. It’s his two toned nature which sees us pick him up with him set to register good points by picking up both attacking and defensive contributions.

A staggering nine assists the last time around see us rope in Stefan Jovic from Serbia as well. He’s not only dictated play from his own circle but been a pivotal player in turning over the ball from defence to attack, transitioning the ball with effervescent ease to set up his side’s plays. 

Shooting Guard for ESP vs SER Dream11

Undoubtedly the side’s best shooter, Bogdan Bogdanovic has been sending down shots in regulation fashion for Serbia this world cup. With Spain looking to curtail Serbia’s soirees inside their circle and guard their forwards and centre, Bogdan will get ample open ranges to send down treys from and should register good points in this clash.

We are also picking out Spain’s Rudy Fernandez for this clash given his recent good performances.

Small Forward for ESP vs SER Dream11

Serbia’s Marko Simonovic is opted by us due to hs price tag of just 6 credits and with him bound to get adequate minutes to come out and play today as well. With the side bound to find it tough today to carry out their usual gameplan given Spain’s staunch defensive gameplan, the side could revert to shooting amply from outside the circle, an eventuality which will see him come into play heavily.

Power Forward for ESP vs SER Dream11

The points last time around saw Nemanja Bjelica become Serbia’s top scorer for the third match for Serbia at the world cup, piling on the baskets for his side to lead them to a comprehensive win. Not only does the power forward spare no expense in finding himself in open spaces and always ensuing he’s available to latch onto passes but is the first to rush to rebounds as well.

Stefan Bircevic looks set to be involved today as well for the side after a solid showing the last time around, seeing us rope him into our Dream 11 side as well.

Centre for ESP vs SER Dream11

His 10 rebounds came with two blocks as well, seeing Serbia’s Nikola Jovic carry out his role as centre to pinch perfection. A quissential player for the side in both attack and defence, his two way style of play to not only get on the end of rebounds in attack but also in defence see him become someone we have to indulge in for today.

Star Player for ESP vs SER Dream11

Serbia’s Nemnaja is being made our side’s star performer for today’s clash.
