AMER SAID…
Defense
RSL Fantasy’s highest scoring goalkeeper, Edouard Mendyfaces a confrontation with Al Riyadh at home. That’s a good chance of another zero. Superb shot stopper Bono is chosen because Al Hilal is on consecutive shut-outs, while Najjar’s friend is against a bad attack from Al Najmah.
My backline includes Theo Hernándezwho feels like an indispensable asset because of his strong attacking potential. He likes to create big chances, just like him Francisco Calvo – one of the best defenders when it comes to shots.
Meanwhile, Al Nassr is strong in all areas, so he owns an in-form name like Nawaf Boushal makes sense. By Al Okhdood, Koray Gunter is great for defensive plays and can contribute on both sides against Al Najmah.
Attackers
By a fairly large margin, Joao Felix is the highest scoring midfielder in the game. Not much needs to be said about him even though he is a teammate Sadio Mane has the most assists so far. He also ranks second among midfielders in shots.
A strong option in Al Hilal’s attack is Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and he has scored in his last three matches against Al Shabab. Because Damac’s opponents miss important defenders, I also like that Mourad Batna‘s prospects. He is in excellent form, with two assists in Round 6 and a goal in the cup.
In front, Christiano Ronaldo leads the way in tries (41) and plays for the best attacking team. On most occasions he feels essential.
And although Ivan Toon Starting from the bench last time out, he is hard to resist against Al Riyadh, who typically struggle against centre-forwards.
As for Fahad Aqeel Al-Zubaidihe scores goals and is one of the best strikers when it comes to creating big chances. He is a great, budget-friendly signing who could do well against a Damac side that is weak on that flank.
LOUIS SAID…
Edouard Mendy feels like an easy choice when you face thirteenth-placed Al Riyadh. I think too Bono And Marek Rodak will be confident against the inconsistent Al Shabab and Al Hazem.
In defense it means securing three clean sheets in a row in all competitions Ali Majrashi once again an excellent choice. It’s hard to say no Theo Hernándezwhile Francisco Calvo And Koray Gunter should have solid home potential.
Starring an unbridled Al Nassr, Joao Felix is perhaps the best RSL Fantasy player. He’s certainly way ahead on points.
Al Hilal’s penalty taker Ruben Neves I’m also making good progress, after registering two assists last week. Another former Premier League name, Georginio Wijnaldumhas actually been disappointing lately. But he has the right fixture to bounce back with.
Little needs to be said about it Christiano Ronaldo And Ivan Toonwhich are regular Scout Squad entries. African Cup of Nations (AFCON) Fantasy Legend Kind may lead Al Fateh’s attack against Damac, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that were the case Roger Martinez scores some more points.
MARC SAID…
I agree with Amer and Louis on quite a few of these Round 7 Saudi Scout Squad picks. Defender Ali Majrashi is in excellent form, picking up 44 points in his last three outings.
Yannick Carrasco has failed only once so far, although a trip to Al Hilal is admittedly difficult. Cheap midfielder. The excellent Valentin Vada has surpassed this and delivered a goal or assist six times. He will face Al Fateh, who have conceded two penalties in their last two matches.
Despite only playing in the most recent three matches, Al Hilal is a forward Marcos Leonardo has five goals and 44 points
We all like it Alexandre Lacazetteat. Neom’s offense is improving and the veteran has contributed in each of the last three rounds.
