Athletic Club vs Almeria Obvious Starts
Inaki Williams-F ($9,700 DK)
He has scored once for Athletic Club since returning from AFCON in four games. However, at 15.2 FPPG you need to include him. He’s due for a goal. Also, in 20 starts he’s scored 8 times while giving 3 assists. Seeing as he is starting again, it’s too risky for you not to start him as well.
Alex Berenguer– M/F ($8,600 DK)
Athletic is likely going to dominate time of possession in this game. Berenguer will have plenty of chances to create, and will likely be on the end of a lot of points. Seeing as Almeria is 20th in opponent rank, he is going to have a huge day for his side.
Athletic Club vs Almeria Start ‘Em
Sergio Arribas– M ($7,700 DK)
Although chances may be few and far between, Arribas remains a consistent fantasy contributor. Especially at his price, he will be able to produce for your lineup. Arribas scored in his last appearance against Valencia. This totaled 21.2 fantasy points. Even if he comes down to his average a little bit, he will still get 2-3 chances today. You need to include him!
Iker Muniain– M/F ($7,600 DK)
Muniain has two goals in four appearances. Even if he comes off the bench for Athletic Club, he’ll wreak havoc. Muniain nabbed 12.4 fantasy points in his last outing and until he proves otherwise, ride the hot hand!
Sit ‘Em
Gorka Guruzeta-F ($8,700 DK)
The Spaniard is listed as questionable with a thigh injury. Although he can be a clinical finisher, it’s too likely that he won’t be able to produce today. Even if he gets the start, a small knock will see him go to the bench early.
Nico Williams– F ($8,900 DK)
Similarly, Williams has been dealing with a hip issue. Although he is a consistent fantasy producer, the team will likely elect to exercise caution. However, closer to full health, he would be a good option to enter your lineup.
Athletic Club vs Almeria Lock of the Day
Jonathan Viera– M/F ($7,300 DK)
Considering some of the possible exclusions today, Viera will play a big role today. He is fresh off a contract extension and will be eager to prove his worth. Also, on the season he’s averaging 11.0 FPPG. But with how the game will play out, he’ll get his chances against Athletic Club.
