Defenders for LAF vs ATU Dream11
Although they have not managed to register a single cleansheet in their previous 5 encounters, the fact that Los Angeles have only allowed 20 goals to go past them otherwise speaks about the staunch nature of their defensive setup. If there is any side which is going to have even the smallest of likelihood of coming out with a cleansheet, it’s going to be Los Angeles, seeing us go ahead with their entire backline here.
While Jordan Harvey and Eddie Segura are coming on the basis of their cleansheet expectations, Tristan Blackmon makes a way into our side on his ability to contribute to the attacking side as well. He’s seen himself come up with a couple of goals and his ability to find himself on headers could see him flourish today as well.
Midfielders for LAF vs ATU Dream11
Leftwing Justin Meram and CAM Emerson Hyndman are our picks from Atlanta from this one. Although we wanted to pick up Julian Gressel from the side, the hefty price tag slapped on him saw us opt out for the side’s highest assist getter.
Elsewhere coming in from Los Angeles is the two man partnership of Latif Blessing and Eduard Atuesta. What Atuesta offers as a CDM is not only his ability to incorporate tackling points but with his role seeing him carry the ball up the pitch as well to get assists, he makes for a player who could turn out to be a real difference maker to your side today.
