MW10 RSL Fantasy Scouting Session: Picks to consider to rack up points! | OneFootball

Mexican star Julian Quinones didn’t just shine on Matchweek 23 by claiming his unrivalled 10th Man of the Match award, he also led a midfield takeover in Roshn Saudi League Fantasy. Midfielders dominated the scoring charts, occupying a remarkable seven of the top 10 spots.

With players in that position consistently delivering the highest Fantasy returns, choosing the right ones can make or break your line-up.

With that in mind, here’s our recommendations for the postponed Matchweek 10, laid out nicely in a first XI, all while sticking to a budget of SAR 80 million.

Goalkeeper

Edouard Mendy - Al Ahli (6.6 million)

The league’s top goalkeeper this season, with 9 clean sheets, the Al Ahli captain travels to Abha to face a Damac who’ve dropped into the bottom three. Mendy currently sits on 98 Fantasy points and is expected to break the 100-mark in this round.

--------

Muhannad Al Shanqiti - Al Ittihad (5.2m)

Despite playing fewer matches this season, Al Shanqiti is enjoying his most productive campaign yet. He has already scored 3 goals - a personal best - and added 6 assists. He’ll look to continue that form for the RSL champions at Al Hazem.

Mohamed Simakan - Al Nassr FC (5.7m)

A smart differential pick, Simakan is selected by only 18.9 percent of managers despite being among the top-five defenders in total points. He has kept six consecutive clean sheets and even scored during that run. Next up? An away match at bottom club Najmah.

Zakaria Hawsawi - Al Ahli (4.2m)

For the second straight season, Hawsawi is contributing both defensively and offensively. He recently assisted Riyad Mahrez at Al Shabab and even scored against Al Taawoun. Trusted by Al Ahli manager Matthias Jaissle, Hawsawi has been part of six clean sheets in nine appearances.

Midfield

Julian Quinones - Al Qadsiah (10.4m)

The game’s in-form star made his seventh Team of the Week appearance in Matchweek 23, scoring 25 points. Remarkably, he’s the only Fantasy player to hit 25+ points in three different rounds this season. Al Qadsiah host Eastern Derby rivals Al Ettifaq.

Mourad Batna - Al Fateh (7.6m)

Even in defeat to Al Ettifaq, Batna delivered 19 Fantasy points, second only to Quinones for the round. While Khalid Al Ghannam earned 13 points in the same match, Batna’s individual performance stood out. Al Fateh welcome second-from-bottom Al Okhdood.

Yannick Carrasco - Al Shabab (7.2m)

The brilliant Belgian has been instrumental in Al Shabab’s revival, scoring and assisting last time out in the win at Damac. The side goals-per-game average has climbed to 1.09, avoiding what could’ve been their worst scoring season (2015-16 and 2016-17). They face relegation battlers Al Riyadh.

Riyad Mahrez - Al Ahli (9.8m)

The Algeria superstar has contributed to four goals in his past two matches and remains central to Al Ahli’s title bid. Since December 29, Al Ahli have collected 34 points, more than Al Qadsiah (32), Al Hilal (28), and Al Nassr (25). Mahrez has been key.

Fashion Sakala - Al Fayha (8.0m)

Al Fayha’s man of the moment is in red-hot form, matching Ivan Toney for the best scoring streak over the past three rounds. Sakala has netted eight goals in seven of his past eight outings yet is selected by fewer than 5% of managers - a high-risk, high-reward option. Al Fayha host NEOM Sports Club on Wednesday.

Alexandre Lacazette - NEOM SC (6.8m)

The firing Frenchman earned nine points last time out after scoring the winner at Al Khaleej. Lacazette averages 8.5 points per game over his past four matches and now takes that hot streak to Al Fayha in the postponed fixture.

Alexandre Lacazette nets late, late winner for NEOM Sports Club at Al Khaleej

Abderrazak Hamdallah - Al Shabab (9.0m)

After missing 11 rounds (16 matches total), the RSL’s all-time second-highest scorer is gradually returning to form. Hamdallah came off the bench against Al Ahli and then scored on Friday when starting at Damac.

With only 30 total points and a 10.4% selection rate, the mighty Moroccan could become a valuable differential if he regains his scoring rhythm. Especially with new manager Noureddine Ben Zekri in charge.

Midfielders continue to dominate RSL Fantasy scoring so, with several players in exceptional form and postponed fixtures creating unique opportunities, this round could reward bold-but-calculated selections.

Choose wisely - and don’t underestimate the power of an in-form middle man!
