Five rounds have offered the first useful measure of Serie A’s fantasy season, with the international break providing a moment to assess which summer picks have delivered immediately. In the Fantacampionato Gazzetta scoring, a 3-4-3 selection of the strongest performers so far is made up only of players who have received ratings in at least three matches.
The early fantasy XI
-
In goal, Lazio’s Christos Mandas leads the way with a fantasy average of 7.5. His start has included three clean sheets and a saved penalty, giving Lazio a dependable presence between the posts during the opening part of the campaign.
-
Carlos Augusto is the standout defender, posting an 8.2 average across his three appearances. The Inter player has contributed one goal and one assist, alongside a 6.5 match rating.
-
Kamara and Bremer complete the defensive line. Kamara has a 7.6 average, while Bremer stands at 7.3; both defenders have already scored twice in the league.
-
Milan newcomer Diego Moreira has made the strongest midfield start, with a remarkable 9.8 fantasy average. He has scored in each of his three Serie A outings, bringing him to three goals from three matches.
-
Inter’s Hakan Calhanoglu follows in midfield on 8.8 after scoring twice. Davide Frattesi and Adzic are level on 8.6, with each player having registered three league goals so far.
-
The attack is led by Serie A’s current leading scorer, Donyell Malen. Six goals have taken his fantasy average to 10.8, the highest figure in the XI.
-
Lautaro Martinez and Gustavo Varela join Malen in the front three. Both have scored four times in Serie A and both carry a 9.6 fantasy average after the first five matchdays.
A first checkpoint after five rounds
The early table of fantasy returns reflects a league in which immediate attacking output has carried considerable weight. Malen’s six goals set the pace, while Moreira’s flawless scoring start has made Milan’s new arrival the leading midfielder in the selection. At the back, Mandas’ clean sheets and penalty save have given Lazio one of the more valuable early contributions, while Carlos Augusto has combined defensive involvement with decisive moments at the other end.
It remains only the first pause of the season, but the opening five Sundays have already identified the players who have turned early promise into points for their fantasy managers.
