Fantasy Brasileiro Campeonato football has the habit of making you accustomed to no-holds-barred attacking football. However, Matchday 5 of Serie A has also proven that a fair deal of tactical acumen now goes into the playing style of the top teams in the league.
Here are the fantasy football cards that were most effective across this week of contests. How many were on your team? How many are on your radar for the future?
Don’t forget that all of the Brasileiro Série A are available in FootballCoin. You are the manager!
Top Cards in Matachday 5 of Brasileiro Série A
Memphis Depay (Corinthians)
Depay could turn out to be one of the best transfers of the season. Yes, the Dutch striker was kept silent against Palmeiras. But he came roaring back, Corinthians secured an important 2-1 against Sporting Recife.
As things stand, Memphis Depay has scored three of the team’s six goals, the club sits six points off the leaders, and Depay is becoming the latest European to thrive in Brazilian football. Great fantasy football card for this season!
Andre Silva (Sao Paulo)
São Paulo finally managed to break its winless run. And it all happened against the much hyped FC Santos, who were, once again, without Neymar.
Andre Silva assisted for one goal and scored the other. Silva is a good pick, and his teammates have, generally, been consistent across this start of the season. Keep an eye on both!
Alan Patrick (Internacional)
Alan Patrick is, once again, one of the fantasy football picks I need to highlight. And at the rate that things are going, the former Shakhtar Donetsk player is one of the favourites for being Midfielder of the Season.
Patrick scored from the penalty spot to help Internacional earn a point against Gremio. However, the maestro’s performance throughout the game was, expectedly, of the highest standard.
Joaquin Piquerez (Palmeiras)
Palmeiras are finally switching into a higher gear. And while the title favourites haven’t always been impressive in 2025, they’ve done enough to secure 13 points out of 15 and lead in the Brasileiro table.
Joaquin Piquerez worked brilliantly off the flank in the team’s important 2-1 victory over Fortaleza. Few players in the league have greater crossing ability or better skill at holding onto the ball against aggressive pressing. Top fantasy football card, and it’s free in FootballCoin!
Leo Jardim (Vasco da Gama)
It was a performance of the highest possible calibre that helped Vasco da Gama salvage a point against Flamengo. The performance was that of goalkeeper Leo Jardim.
And while Flamengo had 12 shots on target, the general feeling was that no matter how much time would’ve been played, Vasco would’ve been able to keep a clean sheet. Jardim is one of the best fantasy football cards that you can use in 2025’s Brasileiro contests.
