The seventh day of Serie A is approaching and, for fantasy football managers, it is essential to know which players to avoid including in their squad. With the match between Frosinone and Sassuolo set for 8.45pm this evening, four names stand out for inadequate or uncertain performances: Stankovic of Venezia, Ranieri of Fiorentina, Gaetano of Milan and Geubbels of Udinese.
Serbian defender Ivan Stankovic, who has earned a reputation as Venezia's "horror defence", has conceded 16 goals in six games, including eight at home. His average of goals conceded per game is higher than the average of many other Serie A defenses, making him a risk for those looking for defensive points. In particular, the Venezia team showed constant vulnerability against headers and strikers, and Stankovic was often at the center of the goals.
In the center of the pitch, Fiorentina captain Alessandro Ranieri had a period of uncertainty. In four matches he recorded three fouls, as well as two yellow cards which led to a three-day absence. His form is declining and, with Fiorentina looking to consolidate their position, it is unclear whether Ranieri will be able to return to playing as regularly as he did in the first season. For fantasy owners, this makes him a player to keep an eye on and possibly avoid.
Milan, however, had to deal with the disappearance of Kessiè, which left a void in the midfield. The former Cagliari player, Gaetano, was inserted as a starter, but his performance was mixed: he showed a good start on the first day, but was sent off on the third and recorded three consecutive failures. His role as a midfielder is crucial for Milan, and his uncertainty could translate into missed points for whoever fields him.
Finally, Geubbels of Udinese, who has just returned from recovering from an injury that had kept him out for two days, has a "fantasy" rating of 5.33. His ownership is no longer guaranteed and, with the negative impact on the team's performance, it is risky to rely on him for points. Udinese have struggled to find an offensive balance, and Geubbels has not been able to contribute significantly in recent matches.
In summary, for the seventh matchday it is advisable to exclude Stankovic, Ranieri, Gaetano and Geubbels from your fantasy football squad. With teams preparing for new challenges, it is prudent to rely on players with more stable and less uncertain performances. Managers should monitor the latest news and form statistics before finalizing their lineup, so as to maximize their chances of success in upcoming matches.
