Fantasy Brasileiro Campeonato football has just gotten started, and the surprises when it comes to results are nearly as big as those related to top picks. Which stars have disappointed fans so far, and which players have overperformed?
Here are the best picks in week 2 of FootballCoin in the Brasileiro Serie A.
Top Picks in Week 2 in Fantasy Brasileiro Campeonato Football
Alan Patrick (SC Internacional)
European football fans will remember Alan Patrick as a midfielder with a silk touch who helped Shakhtar Donetsk become a Champions League force.
Patrick is now using that experience and his teammates’ respect to turn the Campeonato Serie A inside out.
Internacional secured a memorable 3-0 victory over Cruzeiro. Patrick scored a goal and helped his team dominate the midfield area. As things stand, his side is top of the league and looking mighty impressive.
Consider picking Alan Patrick for next week’s round. The 2* player can be picked up on a season long lease in FootballCoin.
Memphis Depay (Corinthians)
It took Memphis Depay just a few weeks to get accustomed to his surroundings. The Dutchman’s impressive display contributed to Corinthians’ 3-0 derby victory over Vasco da Gama.
With both Depay and Yuri Alberto assisting one and scoring one, Socrates’ team appear to be one of the favourites to win the title this season.
Rafael (São Paulo)
It was another impressive performance from São Paulo goalkeeper Rafael. A bitterly fought affair against Atletico Mineiro saw a player sent off from each team.
Atletico had, by far, the more serious goal-scoring opportunities. But Rafael’s kept a clean sheet and still looks like one of the most impressive shot stoppers in the league.
Luciano Juba (Bahia)
Luciano Juba is very much a modern wing-back. Strictly speaking, Juba is a defender and the FootballCoin game has it listed as such.
However, Rogerio Mucke Ceni preferred to use him as an offensive winger against FC Santos.
It ended 2-2. And it was Juba’s 90th minute goal which awarded Bahia an important point.
Emmanuel Martinez (Fortaleza)
Fortaleza looked impressive as they travelled near São Paulo to play Mirassol. And, as it often happens in the Serie A, it was an Argentinian who nearly gave Fortaleza the edge.
Emmanuel Martinez scored an early goal and helped dictate the rhythm of play throughout the match.
Sadly for Fortaleza, it was an injury-time goal which robbed them of victory. Still, keep Martinez on your short list.
