Serie A fantasy: who to pick

Season 2026/27 · 64 players in the pool · from 270 minutes

The list comes from two things: how much a player creates per 90 minutes (xG + xA) and how favourable his club's next match is. We know nothing about injuries or rotation — this is a hint, not a line-up.

Who to pick

Output per 90 minutes multiplied by the points his club is expected to take in the next match.

Running hot

Scoring more than their chances are worth. Finishing like that rarely holds: they cost a lot and the return can drop.

Owed goals

The chances are there, the goals are not. If the chance quality holds, the goals come back — and they are cheap now.
