Serie A fantasy strategies shift focus from strikers to midfielders

The evolving of Serie A fantasy football is pushing managers to reconsider their auction strategies for the 2026 season. Last season's low goal output from strikers, where the top scorer netted just 17 goals, indicates a trend that could influence team selections. Key players like Lautaro, Malen, and Kolo Muani are still seen as valuable, but top-tier picks now cost around 40-45% of team budgets. As a result, investing in midfielders, who demonstrated higher scoring potential, is becoming increasingly attractive. Managers are advised to prioritize midfield talent while seeking value in the second-tier striker market.
