The 9th day of the Serie A championship opens with a match between Sassuolo and Lazio, which will be the first event to follow for the fantasy coaches. The pre-match analysis, published by Luca Di Leonardo on TUTTOmercatoWEB, offers a list of eleven recommended players to maximize points on the day.
Among goalkeepers, Roma's Gollini, who has recorded two clean sheets in three matches and kept Cagliari in the scoring zone with just six goals in eight matches, seems the safest choice. His average grade is 6.33, with a fantasy average of 5.33. Pavlovic, who has provided just one assist in eight games and shown only a single failure, could be an option for those looking for a goalkeeper with goal potential, especially against Bologna.
On the winger front, Sassuolo's Tavares is in excellent form, with one goal and three assists in seven games and a fantasy average of 7.43. Gatti from Genoa, who has already scored and provided an assist in two appearances, is another choice to consider, especially if he is expected to start the match. Venezia's Diouf, although not guaranteed to be a starter, can be placed on the bench for coverage, thanks to his four assists so far.
In midfield, Parma's Ekkelenkamp, with three goals and an assist, could return to being a protagonist despite a slight decline in the last two games. Fiorentina's Mastantuono, who has already scored three goals and played a key role in the victory against Inter, is another figure to be included. Politano from Monza, with one goal and two assists in seven appearances, is an interesting choice for those looking for a player with offensive potential, even if he has not yet found the back of the net since matchday three.
On the wing, Frosinone's Ghedjemis, who made three assists in the away match in Bergamo, is a candidate to keep an eye on, particularly against Lecce, where he could score his first goal. Douvikas from Turin, with five goals in the season and the striker record for shots on target, is a certainty for those looking for an extra point. Finally, Fiorentina's Krstovic, although not guaranteed to be a starter, has scored five goals in his last three games and can be included for those looking for a player with a good goalscoring record.
With these choices, fantasy managers can build a balanced squad, combining reliable goalkeepers, attacking wingers, creative midfielders and in-form attackers. The day promises to be full of opportunities for those who know how to exploit the players' current statistics and performances.
