Round 3 is the live deadline for Sofascore Fantasy Serie A right now, and it opens with a heavyweight clash as Juventus host AC Milan — a tough one on paper for the visitors, but Milan’s own run of fixtures still holds up well across the rest of this stretch. Elsewhere, Gleison Bremer continues to be the form defender in the whole division, while Roma’s Donyell Malen and Paulo Dybala remain the two standout forwards in the game after back-to-back big performances.

On the fixture side, Serie A’s difficulty ratings currently stretch five rounds beyond this one. Inter have the kindest run of the lot, with Juventus and Roma close behind, and AC Milan and Napoli rounding out a group of five clubs whose schedules all look better than average over the coming month and a half.

Here is our full 15-man squad for Round 3 — 2 goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders and 3 forwards — assembled for €96.3M, comfortably inside the €100M budget cap, and without a single player parked purely to gather dust on the bench.

Best fixture runs, Rounds 3-7

Club	Round 3	Round 4	Round 5	Round 6	Round 7
Inter	vs SSC Napoli (H)	vs Udinese (H)	at AS Roma	vs Parma (H)	at Bologna

SSC Napoli	at Inter	vs Bologna (H)	at Fiorentina	vs Frosinone (H)	at Venezia

Inter’s run is the standout of the group over this stretch, with home dates against Napoli, Udinese and Parma sandwiching a trip to Roma. Juventus and Roma are not far behind, and AC Milan and Napoli round out a set of five clubs whose fixtures all look kinder than average heading into October.

GOALKEEPERS

Mike Maignan — AC MILAN at JUVENTUS

€6M, owned by 32.9%. The most-selected goalkeeper in the game. This week’s trip to Juventus is a tough one, but Milan’s schedule opens up nicely from Round 4 onward.

Filip Stanković — VENEZIA at FROSINONE

€4.5M, owned by 2.5%. Rather than a backup who never plays, Stanković remains Venezia’s undisputed No.1 as they fight to establish themselves back in the top flight. A tough away day at Frosinone awaits this week, and a newly promoted side tends to face a heavy volume of shots — exactly the sort of workload that gives a budget goalkeeper a real chance of save points even without a clean sheet.

DEFENDERS

Gleison Bremer — JUVENTUS vs AC MILAN

€6.7M, owned by 25.4%. The form defender in Serie A by a distance, Bremer anchors a Juventus side with one of the two best fixture runs in the division over the coming weeks.

Gianluca Mancini — AS ROMA vs ATALANTA

€7.6M, owned by 13.9%. Mancini has been superb through two rounds and plays behind a Roma side with a genuinely favourable run of fixtures ahead.

Amir Rrahmani — SSC NAPOLI at INTER

€6.6M, owned by 8.4%. A tough away day at Inter this week, but Rrahmani has been in excellent form and Napoli’s own schedule eases up considerably from Round 4.

Gabriele Bracaglia — FROSINONE vs VENEZIA

€4.1M, owned by 2.9%. One of the form defenders in the entire division regardless of price, Bracaglia is a genuine starting centre-back for Frosinone rather than a name picked purely for the price tag.

Ricardo Mangas — MONZA at PARMA

€4M, owned by 1.4%. A recognised first-choice full-back rather than a bench option, Mangas should be busy at the back this week against a tougher Parma side — the kind of volume that keeps producing defensive-contribution points regardless of the scoreline.

MIDFIELDERS

Hakan Çalhanoğlu — INTER vs SSC NAPOLI

€8.7M, owned by 19.1%. Inter’s chief creator from midfield, Çalhanoğlu has been in excellent form and gets a home date with Napoli backed by the best fixture run in the division.

Manuel Locatelli — JUVENTUS vs AC MILAN

€9M, owned by 10.7%. Locatelli has stepped into an expanded role at Juventus and continues to deliver, behind one of the two kindest schedules in Serie A.

Kevin De Bruyne — SSC NAPOLI at INTER

€7.6M, owned by 23.5%. Still capable of pulling the strings at the highest level, De Bruyne gives Napoli a route to goal involvements even in a tough away fixture this week, with the schedule easing up soon after.

Francisco Conceição — JUVENTUS vs AC MILAN

€7.1M, owned by 10.9%. Conceição has taken on a bigger role on the wing at Juventus and arrives with form on his side and one of the division’s kindest fixture runs behind him.

Gianluca Busio — VENEZIA at FROSINONE

€4.5M, owned by 0.8%. The cheapest midfielder in this squad by some distance, Busio has nevertheless been a bright spot for newly promoted Venezia this season, even with a tough trip to Frosinone on the horizon this week.

FORWARDS

Donyell Malen — AS ROMA vs ATALANTA

€8.2M, owned by 37.8%. The form forward in the entire division, Malen leads the line for a Roma side with a genuinely favourable fixture at home to Atalanta this week.

Paulo Dybala — AS ROMA vs ATALANTA

€7.2M, owned by 20.4%. Fully fit and in outstanding form alongside Malen, Dybala gives the squad a second route into a Roma attack that keeps delivering.

Antonio Raimondo — FROSINONE vs VENEZIA

€4.5M, owned by 0.5%. The final piece of the puzzle at floor price, Raimondo has been in good recent form for Frosinone and gets a favourable home fixture against Venezia this week.
