My Picks for Kickest Fantasy Serie A – Round 15

We return after a rough weekend. Last week’s very conservative choices didn’t pay off, and now we need to bounce back immediately. It’s a crucial round in Serie A, filled with direct clashes and big matches to watch closely. And let’s not forget that next week the Supercoppa takes place, with half of the Round 16 fixtures postponed to January.

Time to grab the Fixture Ticker again and choose the 5 transfers for this 15th round of Serie A and Kickest!

Out: Celik (Roma), In: Lazaro (Torino)

The first of two forced substitutions this week. Unfortunately, last week’s pick turned out to be a mistake: after months of strong performances, Celik let us down. Following his red card at Cagliari and the resulting suspension, we need to find a replacement. We dip into one of the teams currently struggling the most: Torino. Valentino Lazaro could be one of the keys to getting something positive out of the match against Cremonese. With Duván Zapata back, his crosses may become a useful weapon for Baroni.

Out: Bellanova (Atalanta), In: Spinazzola (Napoli)

Our second mandatory change also concerns the defense. We say goodbye to Bellanova, who picked up an injury in the Champions League, forcing us to look for a replacement. It’s a return to our squad: Leonardo Spinazzola, a player we strongly backed at the start of the season. After some physical issues and a tactical shift that brought Olivera back into the spotlight, Spinazzola now seems favored to start against Udinese—especially because Napoli’s many fixtures and injuries will force Conte to rotate wherever possible.

Out: Thorsby (Genoa), In: Touré (Pisa)

We sincerely thank Morten Thorsby for his contribution, especially with the goal two rounds ago that helped bring us close to the Top 10. But now it’s time to move on. We turn to a player the author is absolutely in love with: Idrissa Touré of Pisa. A midfielder who can play centrally or on the right—where he even looks a bit like Dumfries—he has already scored this season. And according to our Fixture Ticker, Pisa face two very manageable matches.

Out: Bernabé (Parma), In: Ederson (Atalanta)

Parma host Lazio at the Tardini, but our Fixture Ticker tells us the Gialloblù are entering a tough stretch. That’s why Bernabé makes way this week. In his place, we choose one of the most underwhelming players—relative to his potential—of the season so far: Ederson. Atalanta face Cagliari, and while the Brazilian shone in the Champions League against Chelsea, he continues to struggle in Serie A. Could this finally be his turnaround match?

Out: Soule (Roma), In: Kean (Fiorentina)

Picking a Fiorentina player right now may seem like complete madness (and maybe it is), but can the Viola really remain winless even after this weekend? Moise Kean, fresh off his goal against Dynamo Kyiv, must become the team’s driving force, and that’s why we’re willing to take the risk and trust him with our attack. Against Verona, it’s Fiorentina’s last call — and we’ll be watching very closely. Very closely.
