FRA vs ROC Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Volleyball Tips

Match Previews:

Dominant ROC have a David-sized France standing between them and the gold medal.

ROC have played 7 matches in the Olympics so far and have lost just once. That loss, however, came in their fourth match of the pool stage and was against their finals opposition France.

France has had a topsy-turvy pool stage but caused a major upset in the quarters when theyovercame a surging Polish side.

They then saw off Argentina in a tense semifinal to set up a dateagainst the high-flying ROC side.

Fantasy breakdown:

France:

• The last time France faced ROC, Jean Patry scored 17 attack points and had 3 block points to lead his team to a four-set victory.
• Patry is the leading French scorer and second highest amongst all players. He has 120 points in the 7 matches so far, and scores at a rate of 14.71 attack points per game.
• Jenia Grebennikov is the choice for the libero for the tie. The French athlete has the second-highest dig points in the tournament so far, notching 50 at a success rate of 45.87%.
• That is 5 more points than ROC’s Golubev. France is expected to be the second-best for the majority of the match and that gives Grebennikov more opportunities.
• Trevor Clevenot has been in fine form of late and is contributing on level terms alongside Ngapeth and Patry.
• His cost makes him a more viable option and gives him untapped value as a differential piece.
• Clevenot scored a team-high 14 attack points against Argentina in the semis and it is likely he produces on a scale similar to that in the finals.

ROC:

• Maxim Mikhaylov is the ROC’s main attacking threat. The Russian has scored a total of 109 points in the Olympics so far which includes a brilliant 92 attack points. He has consistently been Russia’s leading scorer and will likely shoulder the majority of the offensive responsibilities in the final.
• The second key player for ROC is Dmitry Volkov. Volkov had a below-average semifinal, scoring only 6 attack points and a block point but his overall impact means that a big game is around the corner.
• He scored 7 attack points and 3 block points in the pool stage loss against France and is an efficient contributor across the attack, block and serve.
• Ivan Iakovlev posts remarkable numbers for a blocker, similar to Saatkamp for Brazil and Loser for Argentina. Iakovlev is a key piece to be included in the team.
• The ROC player has 64 total points, which include a brilliant 42 attack points and a mind-blowing 18 block points, which puts him in third place in the league.
