Genoa vs Inter Milan: Fantasy Team

Goalkeeper

Josep Martinez: Josep Martinez won in the race of goalkeepers between him and Yann Sommer. Given Inter’s attacking prowess, Martinez could concede some goals but on a good day, he could make some saves as well and rack up some crucial fantasy points.

Defenders

Johan Vasquez: Johan Vasquez is one of those players who is not selected by many but has been among fantasy points for the hosts in the last few weeks.

Francesco Acerbi: Experienced defender, Francesco Acerbi is still one of the best defenders in the league. The Inter Milan defender is one of the most picked players from the two teams. Acerbi in the last few games has scored a lot of points thanks to his passing and his attacking play.

Matteo Darmian: Acerbi will be partnered by teammate Matteo Darmian. Darmian’s recent performances have made him a popular choice among fantasy players. 

Alessandro Bastoni: Alessandro Bastoni just like Vasquez is a player who is not selected by many but can be the difference between a win and a loss for you.

Yann Bisseck: Inter’s Yann Bisseck has been a mainstay in the defence in the past few weeks. Bisseck, who has been impressive, particularly in his last three games even scored a goal in their previous match against Lecce.

Midfielders

Hakan Calhanoglu (C): It is nearly impossible to imagine Inter Milan’s mid-field without Hakan Calhanoglu. The 29-year-old Turkish midfielder will be the captain of our fantasy team.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan (VC): Henrikh Mkhitaryan will be the deputy to Calhanoglu. Mkhitaryan has been quiet in the last couple of games and will be expected to bounce back against Genoa.

Morten Frendrup: Morten Frendrup was one of the most impressive Genoa players against Juventus in their previous match.

Nicolo Barella: With Lautaro Martinez injured and missing the game Nicolo Barella was an automatic pick in the mid-field. Barella in the last four games has scored twice and assisted twice.

Forwards

Albert Gudmundsson: The only forward on our team would be Albert Gudmundsson. The Icelandic striker even scored a goal against Juventus in the previous match.
