The long-awaited moment has finally arrived: Sofascore’s Fantasy Serie A season officially begins. Matchday 1 offers us fascinating matches, debuts to watch closely, and players ready to make their mark.
We’ve selected an ideal XI with intriguing names to consider for your Fantasy lineup.
Line-up: 3-4-3
Goalkeeper
Michele Di Gregorio (Juventus vs Parma)
First match of the season. He’s called upon to secure the goal for a Juventus side looking to start strong. Parma will be a tricky opponent, but at home and in front of their fans, they can certainly start with a clean sheet.
Defenders
- Odilon Kossounou (Atalanta vs Pisa)
Physicality and solidity are key for Atalanta, who are starting a new era without Gasperini. Against a rookie Pisa, the center-back can guarantee high scores and perhaps some bonuses from set pieces.
- Dodô (Cagliari vs Fiorentina)
He’s a key player on the wing. The match against Cagliari promises plenty of room for his offensive forays. The Brazilian is a constant for Fiorentina.
- Giovanni Di Lorenzo (Sassuolo vs Napoli)
An absolute guarantee for Napoli. He’s Conte’s man. He offers defensive solidity and leadership, and even potential bonuses weigh in his favor.
Midfielders
- Denzel Dumfries (Inter vs Torino)
From a fantasy perspective, he remains a deadly weapon. Torino often struggles with wide runs: Dumfries can bring home crosses, assists, and perhaps a +3.
- Valentín Carboni (Genoa vs Lecce)
A budding talent, fresh from a successful summer. Coach Vieira is banking heavily on him. He’s already made a splash in the Coppa Italia. Now it’s time for the league.
- Christian Pulisic (Milan vs Cremonese)
Already a key player last season, he’s expected to make another step forward. Cremonese, who just won the tournament, are certainly not the favorites at San Siro, and the American could make an immediate impact.
- Arthur Atta (Udinese vs Hellas Verona) An interesting young player who could surprise on his debut. Udinese loves to develop new talent, and in a tight match like the one against Verona, he could prove a real asset.
Forwards
- Lorenzo Lucca (Sassuolo vs Napoli)
Ready for a big step up after a positive year in Udine, he’s a starter for a brand-new Sassuolo. The battle with the Neroverdi defense will be a tough test, but his size and hunger for goals could cause problems for anyone.
- Jonathan David (Juventus vs Parma)
One of the most anticipated signings of the summer. Juve has chosen him to lead the attack. He can already make his debut with a goal on matchday one in front of his new fans at the Allianz Stadium.
- Moise Kean (Cagliari vs Fiorentina)
After Retegui, the best Italian striker last year. He wants to pick up where he left off. His freshness and desire to shine could be decisive.
