Top picks:
Krzysztof Piatek: Piatek has joined his new club recently and has started his campaign on a positive note. In his very first match for Fiorentina, he scored a goal against Napoli and also scored a brace in his match against Atalanta. His consistency and ability to perform under pressure make him a great pick. His recent form is decent and will look to help his side to a much-needed victory. He is the club’s top creator and surely the one to look out for.
Gerard Deulofeu: Deulofeus command of the ball has improved a lot recently and looks very confident even under pressure. He is known for off-the-ball movement, technical skills, pace, and his ability to score from tight angles. He produced a brilliant performanceagainst Empoli in the league match and scored a goal. Having already scored 11 goals thisseason, he is a solid pick to score.
