The first international break has offered Monza a moment to measure the early shape of their Serie A campaign, and three players have also emerged as the club’s leading risers in fantasy-football value. Goals, assists and reliable early returns have pushed Gustavo Varela, Ricardo Mangas and Jay Robinson upwards after the opening rounds.
Key takeaways
- Gustavo Varela has risen by 15 credits from his opening valuation of 14, reaching 29.
- The 29-year-old is Serie A’s current joint-second leading scorer with four goals.
- Ricardo Mangas has gained eight credits, moving from 11 to 19 after one goal and two assists.
- Jay Robinson’s value has increased by seven credits to 16, helped by his goal against Parma.
Varela sets the early standard
Varela has made the strongest impression among Monza’s players in the first part of the season. Four league goals have placed him just behind the division’s leading scorer, while his fantasy valuation has made the same sharp climb: from 14 credits at the start to 29 at the break.
For a side seeking consistency across a long Serie A season, that return has given Monza an early attacking reference point. The 29-year-old’s form has turned him into the club’s most significant fantasy-market gain so far.
Mangas and Robinson add to Monza’s rise
Mangas follows Varela in the club’s early valuation rankings. The former Sporting player began at 11 credits and is now valued at 19, an increase of eight. His contribution has not been limited to one decisive moment: he has recorded two assists as well as a goal in the opening fixtures.
Robinson completes Monza’s top three with a seven-credit increase. Now assessed at 16 credits, he has already found the net against Parma, adding a concrete contribution to his growing standing.
The international pause does not settle anything, but it marks the first useful checkpoint of the campaign. For Monza, the opening weeks have brought three players whose performances have altered both the team’s early narrative and their value within the fantasy game.
