SAM Vs MIL Dream11 Picks
Goal-Keeper
Sampdoria might have shipped goals in their last two encounters but those scorelines could have taken a real turn for the worst had it not been for the grit of Emil Audero. The shot stopper pulled off a sensational performance against Juventus, one which saw him show bravery in the face of adversary to parry away a barrage of shots.
Defenders
They were belittled and berated prior to their clash against Atalanta but a makeshift AC Milan defence took on the league’s top scorers fearlessly. Equipped with a glistening and pinch perfect defensive gameplan, the side let in a meagre goal in that encounter, a performance which was a testament to the confidence and momentum running through the club’s ranks at the moment.
It was a performance which sees us repose faith in the side’s backline for this one to see us immerse ourselves in a trivalent from the club. Our picks will begin with the returning Theo Hernandez, a player who has risen in stature this season owing to his willingness to involve himself in the side’s attacks.
He’s joined up by Davide Calabria and Simon Kjaer, two name whose regime the last time around ended up serving as a real dilemma for Atalanta in their scoring soirees.
Midfielders
AC Milan’s Hakan Calhanoglu just can’t stop scoring for the club at the moment. The player has undoubtedly emerged as the most important component of the side’s juggernaut since the league has resumed with him taking his tally upto the 8 goals and 8 assists to help his side score the same number of goals they had prior to the lockdown.
CDM Franck Kessie is going to be paired up alongside him owing to his ability to transition the ball from defence to attack and layup the ball for his counterparts. Sampdoria on the other hand will see immerse ourselves in Andrea Bertolucci and three assist man Jakub Jankto for the forthcoming tie.
Strikers
Whilst things are by no means going to be easy for Sampdoria today, the side know they can capitalise on AC Milan’s reeling backline. And someone who’ll be looking to maneuverer his way past this depleted defensive setup will be top scorer with the 11 goals and 3 assists, Fabio Quagliarella.
AC Milan’s top scorer with 11 goals, striker Ante Rebic was a must have pick for us along with Zlatan Ibrahimovic who has managed to snare 8 goals and 4 assists since his move to the club in January.
Captain And Vice-Captain
16 goal contributions meant we didn’t have to look anywhere other than Hakan’s path for our captain choice with Rebic being the vice-captain.
