Javi Hernandez and Tenaglia lead the Fantasy regularity

Consistency pays off in Biwenger. Not all managers need strikers who score every weekend or midfielders capable of delivering double-digit scores. Sometimes, the best strategy is to find players who respond almost every time. Javi Hernández, at Espanyol, and Nahuel Tenaglia, at Deportivo Alavés, fit that profile.

Javi Hernández and Tenaglia rack up 7 matches with 6 points, absolute leaders in green scores.

The Espanyol player is making the most of his chance in LaLiga. At 22 years old, the Espanyol youth product has gained prominence after a good season on loan at Mirandés, where he scored seven goals and provided three assists in 21 matches.

His return to Espanyol has allowed him to make the step up to the top tier. Javi Hernández operates as a midfielder, although his attacking profile lets him get close to the box, link up with his teammates and create chances. That ability to get involved in attacks gives him more ways to earn points than a player limited to defensive duties.

The young player has room to grow and keep gaining weight in Manolo González's system. For Fantasy, his main advantage is combining consistency with attacking output. He does not need to score to be useful: he can add points through decisive passes and his involvement in the game.

Nahuel Tenaglia offers a different profile. The Argentine at Alavés stands out for his ability to maintain a competitive score from defense. His regular presence in Eduardo Coudet's starting XI gives managers looking for reliable players an interesting base.

Tenaglia can play as a right-back and also take on roles as a center-back. That versatility lets him adapt to different team needs, while his continuity in the lineups makes it easier to start him every matchday.

His profile is especially appealing to those who want to avoid taking too many risks in defense. Instead of betting on a player whose output depends on a one-off moment, Tenaglia offers an alternative built on his presence and his ability to complete matches.

That does not mean he will always keep the same score, because Alavés' results, the opponents and the team's overall performance can all affect his numbers. 

Who should you sign in Biwenger?

The answer depends on the position each manager needs to strengthen. Javi Hernández offers a more creative profile with the ability to provide assists, while Tenaglia helps shore up the defense with a player who is regularly involved.

If the goal is to reinforce the midfield with someone who can produce in attack, the Espanyol man has a case. If the priority is to improve the defense and look for a stable score, the Argentine deserves consideration.

But if you ask me, who would you sign from the two? The answer is easy: Both.
