What to Look Out for in Argentine Primera División Fantasy Futbol in the 24/25 Season?
The Argentine Primera Division is far different from European leagues. Football here is played with more intensity and flair is prized above anything else. It may be a simplistic explanation, but the Primera Division is less tactical and more pleasant to watch.
There are more fouls, more yellow cards and often more goals. The goals themselves tend to be more entertaining.
The introduction of the promedio, the relegation system, also gives the games a greater edge than in the past when there was no relegation in place.
Certainly, there are plenty of exciting young players in the 2024/25 season. Many of them will end up representing big clubs in Europe.
The league has its own collection of stars like Valentín Barco from Boca Juniors, Lucas Beltrán from River Plate, and Facundo Farías, who recently transferred to Inter Miami in the MLS.
Currently, River Plater’s Claudio Echeverri, an 18-year-old prodigy, has the highest market value of 18 million Euro. He has been bought by Manchester City, but has been loaned back to the club until the end of the season.
International football will also be familiar with players like Edinson Cavani, German Pezzella, Manuel Lanzini, Sergio Romero or Luis Advincula who are all playing the Argentine Primera Division.
Top 10 Players to Look Watch for Argentine Primera División Fantasy Futbol
Miguel Borja (River Plate)
If you’re looking for a goalscorer from the Argentine Primera Division, look no further than Miguel Borja. With River Plate dominating the 20244 season, Borja has staked his claim for the top scorer award. The 31-year-old Colombia has managed 12 so far, and only looks likely to increase his tally.
Franco Petroli (Godoy Cruz)
Franco Petroli is the master of the successful clean sheet in this season of the Argentine Primera Division. That’s good news for FootballCoin users as the scoring season places strong emphasis on this. Godoy Cruz are also surprise leaders of Zone B ahead of Estudiantes or Boca Juniors, and Petroli is an important reason for this.
Adrian Martinez (Racing Club)
Adrian Martinez is another experienced striker who is using his vast experience to his advantage in this 2024 season. The 32-year-old forward has scored 12 goals this season for Racing Club already. With 2.86 shots taken per game and an impressive XG, Martinez may be able to score even more in the future!
Ignacio Fernandez (River Plate)
Ignacio Fernandez has brought his contribution to River Plate’s excellent scoring stats. The veteran midfielder has provided six assists, the same as teammate Ezequiel Barco. Fernandez remains one of the greatest midfielders across South America for progressive passes and is one of the best players in his position in the league.
Pablo Solari (River Plate)
Pablo Solari is another player getting the job done for River Plate and placing the club in the position its the favourite to win the title this season. No other player in the league has made more progressive carries or forward passes. The 23-year-old really looks like one of the vest players of his generation and European clubs must already be scouting him.
Augustin Cardozo (Tigre)
Clean sheets are one of the most important things to consider when assembling a fantasy football team designed to win prizes. Union’s Augustin Cardozo is, at the moment, the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets in the Argentine league. With these kinds of performances, it’s worth considering him as one of the players worth watching out for during this 2024/25 season.
Juan Quintero (Racing Club)
Juan Quintero could turn out to be Racing Club’s talisman this season. The Colombian certainly has shown tremendous potential. While he’s scored just one goal so far, Quintero brings a wealth of experience after playing in Europe for many years and his stats show that he is a player that can really tie together Racing’s game.
Cristian Nunez (Banfield)
Cristian Nunez is the player that has made the most successful tackles so far this season. The Paraguayan is a dependable defender, making also many blocks, clearances and interceptions in the matches he has played so far.
Edinson Cavani (Boca Juniors)
Edinson Cavani is the undisputed star name of the Argentine Primera Division. And while his arrival hasn’t meant immediate success for Boca Juniors, the Uruguayana striker remains a constant threat to defenders. He has cored 6 goals in 9 matches during the season, and Cavani remains a striker that attackers find it very hard to defend against.
Nahuel Losada (Lanus)
Lanus, so far, is doing just enough to get by. The team is in 14th place, just above Boca Juniors. Their goalkeeper, Nahuel Losada, is one that it’s worth following throughout the fantasy football season. Losada has a save percentage of nearly 75%. And while his team do tend to concede, on average, 2 goals per game, things would have been far worst without Losada.
Special mention:
Ezequiel Barco (River Plate)
Ezequiel Barco has outstanding stats this year, the kind that make place him among the very best midfielders in the world. So good, in fact, that this has lead to the, frankly, surprising transfer to the Russian Premier League. Barco now represents Spartak Moscow and fantasy football enthusiasts can also access the RPL in FootballCoin contests.
History of the Argentine Primera División
The Argentine Primera División is seen by many as the top domestic football competition in Latin America. Many would dare to call it one of the best in the entire world.
It’s also a league with a very rich history. The Association Argentine Football League was founded way back in 1891 and was the first league outside of the British Isles.
The professional era for the league really began in the 1930s, during the dawn of football as one of the great international sports. The clubs that dominated the early years continue to be powerhouses in Argentine football. The Big Five included: River Plate, Boca Juniors, Independiente, Racing, and San Lorenzo.
During the 20th Century, the format of the league has changed a few times. Up until 1985, two championships, The Metropolitano and the Nacional were held during one season. For a few years, in the late 1980s, a European-styled format was introduced in order to have players maintain the rhythm of their European rivals.
Next, the Apertura and Clausura system was introduced for more than a decade. This, essentially, divided the season into two parts and recognized two champions of the beginning and closing parts of the season. There were variations to this kind of format until 2020.
Since 2020 the Argentine Primera División has had the same format, one that involves one champion and two relegated teams. Essentially, the season is divided into two parts. First the Torneo de la Liga has 28 teams playing against other in a traditional round robin competition.
After this part of the season is over, the teams take part in the Copa de la Liga Profesional. This is similar to the domestic cup. The 28 teams are divided into 2 groups. Teams play each other once. Teams then proceed to the knockout rounds and one club gets to win the cup.
There is also relegation. The teams with the lowest points averaged over the three seasons are relegated to the second division, Primera National.
