Our Roshn Saudi League (RSL) Fantasy 2025/26 team preview articles continue with Al Shabab, who finished last season in sixth place, scoring 65 goals and conceding 41 in 34 matches.

Al Shabab transfers

They’ve recently lost two of their most influential players, who played a major role in creating chances and scoring goals last season: Musab Al Juwayr (7.0m), moving to Al Qadsiah after his loan spell expired, and the Argentine Cristian Guanca.

At least the club were able to sign a few, including midfielder Faisal Al Subiani (4.5m) in midfield, goalkeeper Mohammed Al Muhasnah and Vincent Sierro (5.5m), arriving from the French league. In 2024/25, the latter contributed to five goals and one assist for Toulouse.

You can find the updated list of all transfers on the official RSL website

Pre-Season

DATE	MATCH	SCORE	GOALS
28th July	Friendly	Al Shabab 0 – 3 Al Gharafa
3rd August	Friendly	Al Shabab 0 – 0 Al Sharjah
12th August	Friendly	Al Shabab 5 – 0 Bistrica	Hamdallah x2, Carlos Junior, Al Dubais, Abdullah
21st August	Friendly	Al Riyadh 2 – 2 Al Shabab	Hamdallah, Camara

Al Shabab played four matches during pre-season, winning one, drawing two, and losing one. In their latest outing against Al Riyadh, Abderrazak Hamdallah (9.0m) and Haroune Camara (5.0m) netted in a 2-2 draw.

Fixtures + expected lineup

Three of the team’s first four encounters are at home, which could catch the attention of Fantasy managers.

Former Real Sociedad coach Imanol Alguacil usually plays with either a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-4-2 formation.

Hamdallah is expected to lead the attack, supported by Daniel Podence (6.5m), Yannick Carrasco (7.0m), and new name Sierro. Defensively, Wesley Hoedt (6.0m) and Mohammed Al Shwirekh (5.0m) are likely to start, while Heorhii Bushchan (4.5m) is expected to get the nod in goal.

Top Al Shabab picks

Abderrazak Hamdallah is the standout attacking option, whilst both Yannick Carrasco and Daniel Podence look like decent midfield picks. As for Haroune Camara, he’s a budget forward who could well start, scoring in their latest friendly.

Wesley Hoedt is their top pick at the back, accumulating 205 points last season – the second-highest of all defenders. He also netted five times.

However, Mohammed Al Shwirekh is also worthy of a mention. Despite starting only 12 matches last season, he managed to score four goals and could be a strong differential pick for early weeks. Behind them, goalkeeper Heorhii Bushchan is a decent budget-friendly option.
