Serie A’s fifth round closed with Milan’s 3-0 win over Lecce, a result that followed Monza’s 2-1 victory against Sassuolo at the start of the matchday. Between those bookends came a difficult weekend for several individual performers, reflected in the lowest fantasy ratings of the round.
Yeboah endured the harshest afternoon of all, receiving a fantasy score of 2 after missing a penalty in Venezia’s match with Lazio. The wasted opportunity defined his contribution and placed him at the bottom of the weekend’s unwanted selection.
In goal, Muric and Falcone shared the lowest mark among the keepers, each on 2.5. Muric paid for Monza’s two goals against Sassuolo, while Falcone was unable to contain Milan as Lecce were beaten heavily at San Siro. Neither produced the kind of display needed to offset the damage on the scoresheet.
The fifth-round fantasy flop XI
The defensive line in the 3-5-2 selection is led by Yan Couto, whose rating fell to 3.5. A match mark of 4, compounded by a booking, made for an expensive day in fantasy terms. Siebert and Danilo Veiga complete the back three, both finishing on 4.
Midfield produced a sequence of underwhelming returns. Zaniolo recorded the weakest total in that department with 4, while Da Cunha, Thorstvedt, Jones and Atta each received 5. It was a round in which several midfielders struggled to impose themselves, even as the league’s early-season story continued to take shape around the leading clubs.
Stulic joins Yeboah in attack after a 4.5 score, completing a fantasy XI that serves as the less flattering side of a weekend dominated by Monza’s opening success and Milan’s emphatic finish against Lecce.
