SCOUT SQUAD: BEST SAUDI LEAGUE PLAYERS FOR ROUND 32

AMER SAID…

GOALKEEPERS

Few goalkeepers come into the round in better form than Predrag Rajkovic. The Serbian shotstopper has produced 24 points across the last two Gameweeks, alongside back-to-back clean sheets. His save volume continues to make him one of the safest picks in the game, and there is every chance he adds another shutout this round.

If you are looking for a cheaper route, then Ibrahim Zaid stands out as a very strong budget option. Despite not keeping a clean sheet in his previous three matches, he still managed 18 points during that period. A matchup against Al-Najma could finally provide the clean-sheet return to go alongside his steady stream of saves and bonus points.

Meanwhile, Edouard Mendy remains one of the standout premium goalkeepers in the game. He has consistently delivered clean sheets throughout the campaign and combines that with strong save potential, making him a reliable option once again this week.

DEFENDERS

At the back, few players can match the form of Mohammed Al-Shamat right now. The defender exploded for 31 points across the previous two rounds, thanks to a goal and an assist, and currently sits as the highest-scoring defender in the game. On current form, he feels close to essential.

Clean sheets in consecutive matches also boost the appeal of Danilo Pereira. Al-Ittihad look much stronger defensively recently, and Pereira’s ability to collect bonus points only strengthens his case heading into the round.

Another defender worth serious consideration is Shaquille Pinas, who has delivered 24 points in his last three matches. Facing an Al-Okhdood side struggling badly in attack gives him a fantastic opportunity for defensive returns and bonus points again.

There is also plenty to like about Rebocho, who continues to contribute at both ends of the pitch. Two assists in his last two matches highlight the attacking upside he brings, alongside his defensive potential.

Set pieces and bonus potential make Nathan Zeze an intriguing option this week. His defensive contributions already provide a decent floor, but a clash against an Al-Shabab side that struggles to defend dead-ball situations could give him extra upside.

MIDFIELDERS

In midfield, it is impossible to ignore the form of Julian Quinones. Twenty-nine points in the last two rounds tells its own story, and with the forward still pushing for the Golden Boot, another attacking return would not be a surprise.

A very appealing fixture also boosts the stock of Mourad Batna. Facing an Al-Riyadh side struggling defensively puts him firmly on the radar, especially considering his involvement from set pieces and bonus-point potential.

Confidence is clearly flowing through Said Benrahma right now as well. The midfielder has produced four goals and one assist across his previous five outings and now faces an Al-Shabab defence that continues to look vulnerable.

There is also growing appeal around Toze, who has picked up 23 points in his last three matches. Al-Riyadh are expected to attack against a shaky Al-Fateh backline, and his role on set pieces and penalties only increases the appeal.

For those searching for a slightly different option, Al Elewa could be worth a look. A meeting with Al-Okhdood offers clear attacking potential, and the matchup gives him every chance to get on the scoresheet.

FORWARDS

Even in a difficult fixture against Al-Hilal, it feels dangerous to ignore Cristiano Ronaldo. He remains the focal point of the Al-Nassr attack and, with penalty duties still in his locker, he can punish any opponent on his day.

Up front, Youssef En-Nesyri has a fantastic opportunity to continue delivering. Damac have struggled badly against forwards this season, and the matchup sets up very nicely for him.

Strong recent form also keeps Joshua King firmly in the conversation. His contributions in the last two rounds have been impressive, and facing an Al-Ettifaq side that regularly gives chances away to strikers only boosts his appeal further.

A slightly more underrated option could be Leandro Antunes, who faces an Al-Fateh side vulnerable against forwards. He remains one of Al-Riyadh’s most active attacking threats and constantly looks capable of finding the net.

Finally, Guga stands out as a superb differential pick. With Henrique expected to miss out through injury, he should start again, and his recent record is very impressive – two goals and one assist across his last three starts. Against a weak Al-Okhdood defence, he could easily deliver again.

CHUBBS SAID…

GOALKEEPERS

In goal, Predrag Rajkovic continues to stand out as one of the best options available. A home fixture against Damac looks very appealing on its own.

If you want to save a bit of money, then Fernando Pacheco looks like a very solid alternative. Al Fateh finish the season with three of the current bottom four still to play, so the fixture run is there for more clean sheets and steady returns.

Budget managers could also turn towards Ibrahim Zaid, who costs just £3.9m and faces the side sitting at the bottom of the league this round. At that price point, he could be a huge help if you need funds elsewhere in your squad.

DEFENDERS

Defensively, Danilo Pereira feels like one of the standout picks if fit and available. Damac at home gives him huge upside, and his ceiling for points looks among the best in the game right now.

For those needing a cheaper Al-Ittihad route, Hassan Kadesh could be the answer. He may not carry the same explosive upside, but he still offers strong value at a lower price point.

Although the fixture is not ideal this week, Roger Ibanez remains a reliable pick. Clean sheets have become difficult to predict across the league, so backing a defender who consistently finds ways to collect points still feels like a smart move.

Recent form also keeps Mohammed Al-Shamat firmly in the conversation. After producing a huge score against Al-Nassr, another strong return could easily arrive against Al Feiha. Given how unpredictable clean sheets have become, his attacking upside makes him one of the standout premium defenders.

Meanwhile, Nathan Zeze continues to quietly deliver. He plays in a decent defence, contributes from set pieces, and always seems to find a way to pick up points somehow.

MIDFIELDERS

In midfield, few players are carrying more momentum than Houssem Aouar. He has become Al-Ittihad’s main attacking outlet in recent weeks, and penalty duties only increase his appeal heading into the final stretch of the season.

A more expensive differential option is Steven Bergwijn, who still has the explosive ability to produce massive hauls if he rediscovers his best form in the Saudi Pro League.

There is also no reason to move away from Julian Quinones if you already own him. He has been Al Qadsiah’s main man throughout the season and continues to deliver points on a regular basis.

Fixture quality boosts the appeal of Mourad Batna as well. Three of his next four opponents are battling relegation, and after what he produced during the recent Double Gameweek, another big return would not be surprising.

If cash is tight, Hattan Bahebri could be a useful enabler at just £4.5m. A home fixture against Al-Okhdood gives him a decent opportunity to chip in with returns.

FORWARDS

Up front, Youssef En-Nesyri is probably my favourite option up front for the round ahead.

Few forwards are in better scoring form than Joshua King, either. Goals have continued to flow recently, and a home fixture against Al-Ettifaq looks very promising.

Even in a huge title clash against Al-Hilal, it still feels impossible to ignore Cristiano Ronaldo. Big occasions tend to bring the best out of him, and if Al-Nassr are going to win, he will likely be at the centre of it.

A really interesting differential could be Al Saleh, who stepped up brilliantly for Al Qadsiah last round with a brace in place of Retegui. If he keeps his place, he could become one of the standout punts of the week.

Finally, Felippe Cardoso has been a revelation since joining Al Najma. Whenever they score, he always seems involved somehow, and a good home fixture against Al Hazm gives him another strong opportunity for returns.

LOUIS SAID…

GOALKEEPERS

In goal, Predrag Rajkovic still feels like one of the standout picks for the round. Al-Ittihad have a fantastic fixture against Damac, and Rajkovic remains the safest route into their defence. His save potential also gives him a very solid floor, even if the clean sheet disappears.

For those wanting a slightly cheaper option, Fernando Pacheco looks very appealing. Al Fateh’s remaining fixtures are favourable, and with several struggling sides still to play, there is a strong chance for defensive returns before the season ends.

It also feels difficult to ignore Edouard Mendy, who continues to be one of the most reliable premium goalkeepers in the game. Clean sheets, saves, and bonus potential keep him firmly in the conversation every single week.

DEFENDERS

At the back, few defenders are in better form than Mohammed Al-Shamat right now. His recent haul against Al-Nassr showed exactly why he has become such a dangerous Fantasy asset, and with clean sheets becoming harder to predict, defenders with attacking upside like him become even more valuable.

Although the fixture is not the easiest, Roger Ibanez still deserves attention because of how consistent he has been throughout the season. He always seems to find a way to collect points through defensive work and bonus returns.

Meanwhile, Danilo Pereira looks like one of the best all-round defensive picks this week if fit. Damac at home gives him massive upside at both ends of the pitch.

There is also growing appeal around Rebocho, who has quietly produced strong returns recently. His attacking involvement from defence makes him a very dangerous option, especially in games where clean sheets feel unpredictable.

Another defender who continues to tick over nicely is Nathan Zeze. Set-piece involvement, defensive contributions, and bonus potential give him multiple ways to return points, which always makes him useful in Fantasy.

MIDFIELDERS

In midfield, Julian Quinones simply feels essential right now. His recent form has been excellent, and with the race for top scorer still alive, motivation will not be an issue over the final weeks.

A strong fixture run also boosts the appeal of Mourad Batna, who continues to deliver in difficult matches. Against weaker opposition, he could easily produce another big haul.

Few midfielders are carrying more confidence than Said Benrahma, either. Four goals and one assist in his last five matches tells its own story, and he continues to look dangerous every time he gets on the ball.

If you need a cheaper midfield option, Hattan Bahebri could be a very useful pick. At his price, a home fixture against Al-Okhdood gives him a decent chance to chip in with attacking returns.

I also think Toze could be a great pick for the round ahead.

FORWARDS

Up front, Youssef En-Nesyri stands out as one of the best captaincy options for the round. Damac at home, followed by a Double Gameweek, gives him a huge opportunity to deliver over the coming fixtures.

Recent form also keeps Joshua King firmly on the radar. He continues to find goals consistently, and the matchup this week gives him another excellent chance to continue that run.

Big fixtures tend to bring the best out of Cristiano Ronaldo, and the clash against Al-Hilal feels no different. Even in difficult games, it only takes one moment for him to punish opponents.

For managers searching for a differential, Leandro Antunes could be a very interesting option. He remains heavily involved in Al-Riyadh’s attack and faces a defence that has struggled badly against forwards this season.

Finally, Felippe Cardoso continues to impress since arriving at Al Najma. Whenever his side scores, he always seems involved somehow, and another strong home fixture gives him a great chance to continue his impressive form.
