But who will you pick for your fantasy soccer team? I have a few suggestions based FootballCoin stats. Here are the players that you should scout.

Top Matchday 3 Picks in Fantasy Football Brasileiro Série A
Cassio (Cruzeiro)
Yes, Cruzeiro was humbled last week. But it could’ve ended much worse were it not for veteran goalkeeper Cassio. Expect him to do more heavy lifting when the team travels to São Paulo at the weekend.
Still, regardless of the team’s form, Cassio is one of the top fantasy football goalkeepers in the league.
Weverton (Palmeiras)
Palmeiras won last week through a mix of luck, favorable refereeing choices, and Weverton’s saves. The team might not get as lucky against Corinthians. But it’s matches like this that the goalie, typically, really shows his leadership abilities.
Thiago Silva (Fluminense)
Thiago Silva is always a leader. And, more often than not, he has the ability and humility just to play the role of a good squad player. That’s what he did last week against Red Bull Bragantino.
I predict we will see more of that as Fluminense take on Santos FC in a game where Big Flu starts as favourite to win.
Alexander Bernabei (Internacional)
Internacional have scored 7 goals in their last 3 games. And it’s Alexander Bernabei’s marauding runs down the right flank that always seem to put opponents on edge. Bernabei is an essential piece in Internacional’s plans. Does he also feature in yours?
Gustavo Scarpa (Atletico Mineiro)
Scarpa is a player whose confidence has been renewed. A match against lowly Vitoria seems like the perfect opportunity for the skilled right-sided winger to work more of his magic. A very sensible choice for your fantasy football team!
Enner Valencia (Internacional)
I’ve always said it. Enner Valencia can be one of the top strikers in the world. Internacional is lucky to have him.
However, Internacional is also riding a really tall wave at the moment. The team leads Serie A. And although Fortaleza’s defense will be tough to beat, Valencia has the confidence and skill to do it.
Memphis Depay (Corinthians)
Last week, Memphis Depay made it look easy. He made Vasco da Gama supporters sigh and Corinthians fans praise the team’s recruitment policy.
Depay is a luxury player, sure. But it will be against the mighty Palmeiras that his true current ability will finally be revealed.
