Fantasy Alert! 4 lineup risks for Matchday 4
There are few things more painful in Comunio than opening the app, checking your lineup and discovering a lovely donut where you expected points. We review four players with big names who arrive at Matchday 4 surrounded by physical doubts or with a dangerous fight for a starting spot. You have been warned: the donut does not care about market prices.
Julián Álvarez12.010.000€-640.000€ ?
DLThe Argentine is physically available and completed the latest Atlético training session normally, but the issue for his managers lies in the starting XI. Simeone has worked during the week with the same forward line he used against Sevilla, made up of Kang-in Lee and Álex Baena, and Mundo Deportivo reports that both will start again at San Mamés. That would leave Julián as an option off the bench, especially now that Jonathan David is joining the attacking competition.
Joao Cancelo6.440.000€+350.000€ ?
DFWe are not talking about a physical doubt either, but a battle for the spot that has become much more complicated than expected. Xavi Espart has earned Flick's trust and has been racking up starts and good performances at left-back, while Koundé and Eric García offer more defensive alternatives on the right. The most recent outlook for Mestalla again leaves the full-back spot open between Espart and Cancelo, and other specialized sources directly place the Portuguese among the players at risk of starting. Cancelo has more than enough ability to win his place back, but right now assuming he is a guaranteed starter means taking an obvious risk of being benched.
Andrés García2.540.000€+20.000€ ?
DFThe Getafe full-back set off alarms against Osasuna by asking to be substituted due to a problem in the quadriceps, and that is the main reason to include him among the matchday's dangerous players. The good news is that this Thursday he managed to rejoin group training, so his situation has improved considerably and he cannot be ruled out against Celta. Even so, he is coming off a muscular issue suffered just a few days ago and his progress still calls for caution: after starting the first three matchdays, the risk is both that Bordalás may not want to push him and a possible minutes restriction.
Fernando Niño4.030.000€+90.000€ ?
DLIt is probably the most misleading case of the four. The forward began the week with physical problems, trained on the side and raised doubts about his availability for Real Sociedad, but this Friday he has returned to participate with the group. That greatly improves his chances of making the squad, although it does not remove the danger for Comunio: in addition to checking how he responds physically, Fer Niño is fighting for the starting spot directly against Ezequiel Ponce. The projections keep the centre-forward position completely open between the two, so his recovery does not guarantee, not even close, that he will start.
