With the picks leaning more towards attackers, for defense (DF & GK) I would like to recommend you get 1-2 players from these teams for this GW:
Top priority : Mali ; Senegal ; Morocco
Followed by: Cameroon ; Burkina Faso

[18]
That's it from me.
I hope you enjoy this 🧵and can use it as a tool to build your team for #GW4.

Good luck!

🚨AFCON Fantasy QF #GW5 Thread🧵🚨

Yes we have reached the GF of #TotalEnergiesAFCON2021.

8 teams left. Few surprises have left us /w players from eliminated teams, like Ivory Coast, Nigeria and Mali.

Templates have become stronger. Can we still gain to boost the rank?
🔷Teams & Schedule #GW5 (with predictions)

Day 1:
1. Gambia 🇬🇲 - 🇨🇲 Cameroon (1-2)
2. Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 - 🇹🇳 Tunisia (0-1)

Day 2:
1. Egypt 🇪🇬 - 🇲🇦 Morocco (1-2)
2. Senegal 🇸🇳 - 🇬🇶 Equatorial Guinea (1-0)

[1]
Despite high expectations and good underlying stats, we have seen too many low scoring games that I wouldn't dare to predict high scoring games.

But some things I guess could happen:
These games: 🇬🇲 - 🇨🇲 and 🇪🇬 - 🇲🇦 could be a higher scoring games than : 🇧🇫 - 🇹🇳 and 🇸🇳 - 🇬🇶

#GW3 Preview #AfconFantasy

With the results of #GW2 coming in these coming days, let's see what kind of strategy we are looking at for the teams in #GW3 and which teams we want to target for the last games of the group stage.

[1]
Group A

Cape Verde🇨🇻 - Cameroon🇨🇲
To avoid being 3rd in group, 🇨🇻 must win.
For 🇨🇲 a draw is enough to win group.
I can see🇨🇲 still fielding the best team although depending on how the game goes, they will play it safe in the end. If🇨🇻 then 🇨🇲 will become 2nd.

[2]
Burkina Faso🇧🇫- Ethiopia🇪🇹
Will become a lively game as both teams will want to win the game.
If 🇪🇹win they can still be 3rd. They can't be 2nd because they lost from🇨🇻 in GW1.
🇧🇫can't be 1st as they lost from 🇨🇲 earlier.

🚨WILDCARD IN #GW2 ? 🚨

My preference is to wildcard in GW2, so that I can attack the good matchups in GW1 , have more info about lineups and performance for GW2, and to avoid some rotations on teams that have already qualified or won the group.

🧵 #AFCONFantasy
