    This does make sense. What do you guys think? Why Saibari is the Ultimate Matchday 3 Captain • The Ultimate Out-of-Position Asset: Saibari ($6.8m) is classified as a midfielder in World Cup Fantasy, but he has actually been a playing completely up front as a striker for Morocco. In fantasy football, a midfielder playing out-of-position as a forward is gold
    because they earn extra points for goals and clean sheets. E The New York Times +1 • The Perfect Fixture: Morocco faces a heavily outmatched Haiti team today. Saibari is already Morocco's Utop scorer with two goals in two games (scoring against both Brazil and Scotland). Facing a porous Haitian defense gives him an incredibly high floor
    and ceiling. © ESPN +3 • Low Ownership Differential: Saibari's ownership sits at just around 4.3%. Captaining him provides a massive opportunity to shoot up the global and mini-league
    leaderboards if he continues his scoring streak. ® The New York Times
    The Case Against Vinicius Jr. for Today • A Stiffer Test: Brazil is playing Scotland today. While Brazil needs a result to secure their group standing, Scotland's defense is notably more compact and difficult to break
    down than Haiti's.
    w http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk+2 • Tactical Shift: With tactical changes in Brazil's setup, Vinicius Jr. may find himself
    drifting wider, while Matheus Cunha operates more centrally. http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk

    1. He's not down to 5% anymore, but I'm going Saibari(C) over Vinicius, along with Diaz and Hakimi

        Yeah, thinking that only.

        Rotation is a big problem and 14 pointer isn't bad.
