The 6th day of fantasy football ended with results that confirmed the position of some players as reference points, while others suffered a decline in value. While waiting for the two postponements (Atalanta–Venice and Turin–Udinese) which will close the round, the protagonists of the week were DeBruyne, Osmajic, DeRossi, Orsolini and, on the contrary, Malen, Vasquez, Lucchesi.
The fulcrum of the day was Kevin DeBruyne, who proved that he is still the driving force of the Belgian team. With a fantasy rating of 13.5, the midfielder has shown impeccable form, contributing both goals and assists and guaranteeing bonuses in every game. His presence has become indispensable for those who play fantasy football.
Other key players continued to make a difference. Serbian midfielder Luka Osmajic, with a fantasy rating of 11.5, was decisive for Genoa, providing a goal and an assist and maintaining his role as a driving force. Dario DeRossi has found his starting position, with a fantasy rating of 10.5, and has proven to be a reliable element for his team. In Bologna, Marco Orsolini, with 10.5, proved to be an offensive striker capable of changing the fate of a match, especially with the goal that opened the away match against Lecce.
Conversely, some players have suffered a decline. German midfielder Malen, with a fantasy rating of 3.5, had a bad day after a controversial foul which led to a red card. Although he is ready to return to the pitch against Napoli, his rating has remained low. Mexican captain GonzaloVasquez, with 3.5, has had a difficult start to the season, combining a goal with a red card and an own goal. Finally, the defender from Lucca, with 3.0, was difficult to field and his expulsion had a negative impact on Monza's match.
Looking to the future, the fantasy managers will have to monitor the tests of Orsolini, who could be absent for a few weeks, and evaluate how to exploit the form of DeRossi and Osmajic. Meanwhile, Malen and Vasquez will have to regain their regularity before the next matches. With the postponements still pending, the 6th day left room for new surprises and a continuous balance between tops and flops in fantasy football.
