Serie A Fantasy: Best Midfielders to Pick for Matchday 6

Serie A’s sixth round will begin in Genoa and end in Turin, with fantasy managers asked to make their midfield choices across a three-day programme. Genoa host Fiorentina at 15:00 on Saturday 10 October, while Torino’s meeting with Udinese on Monday 12 October brings the matchday to a close.

A round framed by midfield decisions

  1. Saturday 10 October: Genoa welcome Fiorentina in the opening fixture, kicking off at 15:00.
  2. The sixth Serie A matchday then continues through the weekend.
  3. Monday 12 October: Torino face Udinese in the final match of the round.

For fantasy football selections, the midfield options are divided into four groups: leading names expected to deliver, dependable alternatives with the prospect of returns, lower-priority choices who may still provide a useful score, and players facing a more difficult weekend or possible absence from the ratings.

Midfielders to trust

The leading tier contains players with the strongest expectations for the round:

  • Frattesi
  • Rabiot
  • Nico Paz
  • De Bruyne
  • Barella
  • Conceiçao
  • Baturina
  • Mora
  • Moreira
  • Mastantuono
  • Çalhanoglu
  • Pulisic

The next group includes midfielders seen as capable of solid ratings and potential attacking returns:

  • Pisilli
  • Diouf
  • Cisse
  • Ekkelenkamp
  • Zielinski
  • Vlasic
  • Zaccagni
  • Sucic
  • Zhegrova
  • Modric
  • Da Cunha
  • Maldini
  • Bernardeschi
  • Ederson
  • Koné
  • Adzic
  • Politano
  • Musah
  • Mandragora

Options further down the order

A third band is made up of players who may earn a passing mark and could offer an unexpected contribution, despite sitting behind others in the hierarchy:

  • L. Coulibaly
  • Calò
  • Taylor
  • Koopmeiners
  • Caqueret
  • Perrone
  • De Roon
  • Lobotka
  • Chukwueze
  • Gilmour
  • Thorstvedt
  • Pobega
  • Baldanzi
  • Matic
  • Romano
  • Cacciamani
  • Atta
  • Kessié
  • Gandelman
  • Ndour
  • Folorunsho

The final group carries greater risk for the sixth round, either because the fixture may prove difficult or because a rating may not arrive at all:

  • Jashari
  • Douglas Luiz
  • Konaté
  • Maleh
  • Kike Perez
  • Cichella
  • Moro
  • Oulai
  • Akinsanmiro
  • Ilkhan
  • Keita
  • Ordonez
  • Masini
  • Fabbian
  • Karlstrom
  • Lipani
