The former Parma forward has regained the trust of Sarri, fans, and fantasy football managers thanks to his excellent recent performances against Genoa and Torino.
Having returned to Lazio after two less impressive seasons on loan with Empoli and Parma, Matteo Cancellieri appears to have fully regained the confidence of the entire Biancoceleste environment. He has been a standout performer in the last two matches, scoring three goals—one against Genoa and a spectacular brace against Torino. The young talent born in 2002 has capitalized on his chances, also aided initially by the club`s transfer market block and Isaksen`s prolonged absence due to mononucleosis. Sarri has started him in five of the first six Serie A games, with his only bench appearance being in the derby. Currently, Cancellieri enjoys the full trust of the coach, the Lazio supporters, and, consequently, fantasy football managers.
Cancellieri: Fantasy Football Valuation
In Gazzetta`s Fantacampionato, Cancellieri is currently valued at 19 credits, an increase from the initial 15 at the start of the season. His valuation and “fantamedia” (fantasy average, now at 7.9) have notably risen, especially after the last two matches. Following a challenging start marked by some poor performances and no bonus points, the former Parma player has redeemed himself with a string of goals: he earned a fantasy score of 10 against Genoa (with a 7 rating and a goal) and an impressive 13.5 against Torino (with a 7.5 rating and a brace). With only one bench appearance in the derby and five starts in the remaining games, Cancellieri represents an excellent low-cost investment for any fantasy football attack.
