World Cup winners, European champions, players who’ve been involved in Champions League finals are among those found in the squads of the top Serie A teams. Yes, Serie A still has stars. But are they a luxury you don’t need for your Serie A fantasy football squad?
Sometimes, to win, you need to get the very best, the established star, the famed footballer. I’ve looked at the FootballCoin stats. These are the fantacalcio players you need for the 2024/25 season.
Goalkeepers
David de Gea (Fiorentina) – De Gea had been chosen the best Premier League goalkeeper the season before Manchester United opted not to renew his contract.
He spent nearly a year on the sidelines, but now he is back, and the Spaniard is making great use of his skill. De Gea is one of the best-rated Serie A keepers in fantasy football and one of the most in-form recently.
Mike Maignan (AC Milan) – Yes, there are other, more affordable options in fantalcalcio. But, time and time again, Maignan has proven to be one of Milan’s essential players and one of the best keepers in the world. Choose him each time you can!
Defenders
Giovanni di Lorenzo (Napoli) – Di Lorenzo was a shadow of his former self at the 2024 European tournament. However, under the leadership of Antonio Conte, he’s bounced back. He is the top defender in Serie A fantasy football and should be on your team each week.
Midfielders
Marten de Roon (Atalanta) – De Roon has worked hard to grow his Serie A profile. But in recent times, the Dutch midfielder appeared to be another overhyped player.
Not anymore! De Roon has been a revelation for Atalanta this season. In fact, no other midfielder has scored more points in FootballCoin. You fantasy football team can be improved by picking him.
Strikers
Ademola Lookman (Atalanta) – Yes, Lookman, last season appeared to be a classic example of a luxury player. The Nigerian striker had all the potential, but there was little to show for it.
The goals scored in the Europa League final, however, have helped to recharge his career. Lookman has scored 12 goals and assisted 6 times this season. He’s now a luxury player that can truly improve your team.
Rafael Leao (AC Milan) – Earlier, I spoke about Milan’s decisive players and name-checked Maignan. Leao is the other player that Milan cannot do without. At his very best, the Portuguese has the ability to decide games on his own.
This season, Leao has consistently been among the top five goalkeepers in terms of points managed in fantasy football. How could you not consider him for your team?
