Garuccio and Penha were joined by a strong midfield lineup, securing the highest possible fantasy score. Up front, Kosta Barbarouses, Robert Mak, and Raphael Borges Rodrigues constituted the attacking trio after standout performances.
The resurgence of Socceroos forward Brandon Borrello was on display as he netted his first goal of the season in Brisbane Roar’s win against Perth Glory. Borrello’s recent form has seen him accumulate 26 fantasy points in the last two rounds, making him an enticing prospect for fantasy managers with his affordable price tag.
In the Liberty A-League, Sydney FC’s Cortnee Vine stole the show with her standout performance in a 4-2 victory over Wellington Phoenix.
