Form, consistency, and knockout pedigree are now more important than ever, so this selection focuses on the most reliable performers across a balanced 3-4-3 setup.

From dependable clean sheet options to explosive attackers, here are the standout picks for MD15. Goalkeeper David Raya (Arsenal) Raya remains the standout option between the sticks, leading all remaining goalkeepers with 62 Fantasy points. His campaign has been built on defensive solidity, with eight clean sheets already, including shutouts in each of Arsenal’s last three matches.

What makes him even more appealing is his consistency on the road — just two goals conceded in six away games, with four clean sheets in that run. That level of reliability is gold at this stage of the competition. Defenders Willian Pacho (Paris) Pacho has quietly become a Fantasy powerhouse, sitting top among defenders with 81 points.

A significant portion of his returns comes from ball recoveries, contributing 25 points alone, which gives him a high floor even in tighter games. Nuno Mendes (Paris) Just behind his teammate, Mendes offers both defensive stability and attacking upside. With 79 points and 20 coming from recoveries, he combines consistency with the potential for forward returns — a valuable trait in knockout ties.

Gabriel (Arsenal) Arsenal’s defensive resilience is reflected in Gabriel’s numbers. He’s delivered 65 points so far, largely driven by seven clean sheets. In a team that prioritizes structure, he remains one of the safest picks in defense.
