Fantasy Football 2025/26: 15 new "unknown" purchases to bet on for a few credits

Next to the certainties - from Kean to Lautaro Martínez, passing through Leão and McTominay - every year it is essential to discover hidden gems, those underrated profiles that can become golden deals. Here is a selection of 15 new faces of Serie A 2025/26 that could turn out to be real surprises.

Defenders

Alex Valle (Como) Technical left-back, born in 2004, raised in Barcelona and now in the hands of Fabregas. After six months of acclimatization, he could explode this season.

Jamil Siebert (Lecce) Born in 2002, 193 cm, already in the German Under 21 squad. The most expensive purchase in the recent history of the Salentines (5.5 million), he is destined to form a rock-solid pair with Gaspar.

Armel Bella-Kotchap (Verona) Promise of German football, coming from highs and lows in the Premier League with Southampton. At 23, he is looking for a relaunch under the management of Sean Sogliano.

Marco Palestra (Cagliari) Right winger from Atalanta's school, arrived on loan. With Zappa advanced as a wing-back, he could find space in Ranieri's 3-5-2.

Jacobo Ramon (Como) Spanish central defender born in 2005 (196 cm), modern and technical. Fabregas counts on him to grow and surprise.

Nicolò Bertola (Udinese) Born in 2003, a pillar of Spezia until the Serie B playoffs, now ready for the jump in the Friulian defense.

Midfielders

Lennon Miller (Udinese) Scottish box-to-box born in 2006, 182 cm, 2 goals and 6 assists at Motherwell. Still on the fringes, but with great potential.

Lorenzo Venturino (Genoa) Born in 2006, already the author of a brace last year. Vieira considers him an intriguing bet for the three-quarters.

Andy Diouf (Inter) Left-handed half-back with physique and dribbling. Arrived for 25 million, he has yet to explode but has the qualities to fit in.

Johnatan Rowe (Bologna) Hero of the U21 European Championship with England, purchased for about 17 million. Modest numbers in Ligue 1, but the potential is high.

Idrissa Touré (Pisa) All-round midfielder (188 cm) coming from 6 goals and 5 assists in the Tuscan promotion. He will be a key starter.

Forwards

Jesus Rodriguez (Como) 19 years old, 185 cm, paid 22.5 million. Powerful and technical, he will have space also thanks to Diao's injury.

Semith Kilicsoy (Cagliari) Born in 2005, effective as a substitute. Coming from 11 goals in Super Lig two seasons ago, he can gradually emerge.

Nikola Stulic (Lecce) Montenegrin born in 2001, pure penalty area player. Sixteen goals in Belgium, strong sense of goal.

Gift Orban (Verona) Former promise in Belgium, now looking for redemption in Serie A at 23. Potential as an interesting outsider.

Why bet on these names?

These profiles represent low-cost investments, ideal for completing the squad without sacrificing precious credits on the big names. Some will start as alternatives, others will immediately have space, but all have a common denominator: growth potential and the possibility of performing beyond expectations.
