Top Fantasy bargains by MARCA for Matchday 10

This week we focus on four footballers who bring together several very interesting ingredients for Fantasy: minutes, prominence, and still-attractive pricing. Let us look at them one by one, because they could become real bargains for this matchday and the ones to come.

Opponent: 🏠 Espanyol.

Situation: Owner and master of the right-back spot.

Why sign him?

In Fantasy, defenders with guaranteed starts and an affordable market value tend to become highly profitable investments. And that is precisely the case for Mantilla, who has a perfect record of starts so far this season (he only rested at the Camp Nou), so we are looking at a player who offers a guarantee that is becoming increasingly hard to find at a very reasonable price.

That minutes security needs to be matched with his consistency on the pitch. The Cantabrian full-back is used to putting in solid and reliable performances, which translate into consistent points day after day. Also, this weekend Racing will play at home, a factor that encourages optimism and increases the chances of Mantilla putting in a good showing.

In short, we are dealing with a defender with guaranteed minutes, good output, and room to keep adding points, a combination that makes him a highly recommended option to strengthen the back line without a major investment.

Opponent: 🏠 Villarreal.

Situation: Eager to convince the coach.

Why sign him?

Tarraga returned to the starting XI last matchday with the hope of settling in and with the desire to create competition in the Valencia back line. 

The Valencian has already shown previously that he is a centre-back with huge physicality in duels, anticipation and defensive authority. 

We hope that for this matchday 'El Vasco' Aguirre rewards the defensive solidity the team showed against Athletic and keeps the defensive block intact. 

On the Fantasy MARCA side, we are looking at a very interesting profile, since centre-backs who rack up minutes and deliver consistency usually guarantee a good balance between price and points.

What is more, his importance within Valencia can keep growing, and that typically translates into a positive evolution in his market value. For those looking for a reliable defender, with room to grow and an increasingly established role, Cesar Tarraga is a bargain worth considering today.

Opponent: 🏠 Levante
Situation: The young midfielder is back.

Why sign him?

Gorrotxategui is making the most of every opportunity he gets and has strung together two full matches in three days, gaining ground again in a double pivot that is subject to constant rotation. His physical output, ability to move the ball and tactical maturity are highly valued by the reporters, and he is one of the players who has come out of the txuri-urdin team's display in Malaga the most strengthened.

Young midfielders who start to get into the rotation of a big team are often a regular source of value in Fantasy, and Gorrotxategui has all the conditions to keep that trend going.

His market value is still within reach, and any increase in minutes could trigger a quick rise in his price. In addition, his involvement in building play allows him to score points even in matchdays where he does not directly contribute to goals or assists.

Ejuke
1.330.000€+60.000€6

Opponent: 🏠 Osasuna.
Situation: The chance to be a difference-maker again.

Why sign him?

Ejuke is one of those players who can change a match with a single action. His pace, direct running and ability to take on defenders make him a very attractive Fantasy profile, especially when he manages to string together minutes in a regular way.

The Sevilla attacker seems to be regaining prominence within the rotation, and when he is at 100 percent, he is a constant threat to opposing defenses. His style of play creates chances, draws fouls, and allows him to add points even beyond the goals and assists he may get; plus, his playing style helps him earn good scores even if he comes off the bench.

At the moment, his market value is still far from the levels he would reach if he strings together several standout performances. That is why we are looking at a bet with an acceptable risk and significant room to grow for those who want to get ahead of a potential burst in the coming matchdays.

Fantasy recommendation

In Fantasy MARCA, the best deals are not usually the most eye-catching ones, but rather those made before the rest of the managers. Mantilla, Tarraga, Gorrotxategui and Ejuke share exactly that condition: players with room to grow, options to gain prominence, and the ability to deliver performance well above what their current market value suggests.

If you want to strengthen your squad without a big outlay, these four names deserve special attention over the next few matchdays. Getting ahead of a price rise or a player cementing a spot in the starting XI can make a difference both in points and in your team budget.
