Flash Players
Benik Afobe (Trabzonspor, Forward)
After making a brilliant start in English Championship League last season, scoring 3 goals in 6 games with Bristol City, Benik Afobe suffered a serious injury which took him out of the fields for 10 months. He made a fresh start for 2020–2021 season with Trabzonspor in where he plays as a striker. By scoring 2 goals against Yeni Malatyaspor last week, Congolese player showed signs that he will be the prior pick for both Trabzonspor and fantasy football players as the replacement of Alexander Sörloth. We expect him to score against the opponent this week considering that Gaziantep conceded 7 goals in 3 games. We should also mention that Afobe has scored 10 out of 13 penalty kicks in his career so far.
Adem Büyük (Yeni Malatyaspor, Forward)
The teams competing in Turkish Super Lig scored 70 goals in all games played in the first 3 weeks. 11 out of these 70 goals, which equals to 15%, scored by penalty kicks. As fantasy footbal players, we should take the penalty takers of all teams into consideration align with the high percentage of penalty goals in the league. Set-pieces are one of the most important part of the fantasy football game. One of the best penalty takers of Turkish Super Lig is Adem Büyük. He shares the leaderboard for penalty goals with Radamel Falcao this season with 2 penalty goals in 3 games. His league career stat for penalty goals is 12 out of 14 penalty kicks. He is also leader in shot statistics with 4 shots per game within the league and also has a 2 key pass per game stats. We expect that he will help his team to win against Antalyaspor this week and collect significant points in fantasy football game.
Arvydas Novikovas (Erzurumspor, Midfielder)
Lithuanian left winger has been taking the steps one by one for being a fantasy football hero by his performance and dynamism on the field. He has 2 goals and an assist performance in 3 games. In addition, one goal he scored and one assist he made were cancelled by VAR during that period and also he had a shot on woodwork in Ankaragücü game. We expect him to pursue his good performance against Çaykur Rizespor who had their last away win in 21st of December 2019.
Anastasios Bakasetas (Alanyaspor, Midfielder)
Playing in all 34 games with 2.841 minutes, Bakasetas played an important role in Alanyaspor’s success last season. He scored 10 goals and made 4 assists during the last season and took the ball in all set-pieces organisations. Although this week’s opponent Hatayspor made 3 out of 3 clean sheets in this season, Bakasetas is expected to start for repeating his previous season’s performance starting from this match. He would say a late hello to the season.
Surprise Pick
Ibrahim Sehic (Konyaspor, Goalkeeper)
Taking the goalkeeper position after leaving of former captain Serkan Kirintili, who has problems with the clubs and fans, Ibrahim Sehic made a good start to the season. The experienced goalkeeper only conceded 1 goal in two games. He is one of the most important “clean sheet” candidates this week against Denizlispor, who have been coping with serious scoring problems so far.
Recommended Teams for Player Picks
BB Erzurumspor
Both defending and attacking performance of BB Erzurumspor will make them one of the most favourite teams for player picks this week.
Trabzonspor
Against his opponent at Gaziantep, attacking options of the team are expected to collect many points for fantasy football players.
Galatasaray
We expect many goals in Kasımpaşa vs. Galatasaray game this week. With dangerous attacking options, Galatasaray will be at the top for picking players.
