Spain vs Portugal – Top Fantasy Picks on BalleBaazi: UEFA Nations League 2022-23

The season has finished, and the new edition of the UEFA Nations League is set to begin. The winner of the first-ever Nations League, Portugal, will play against Spain tonight.

With the hectic season just finished, a lot of the top players will take a rest and won’t play every game for their national team. Pre-season will start in July, and there will be an early start to next season with the World Cup in November.

Let’s have a look at the best picks for your fantasy team on BalleBaazi.

Goalkeeper

Rui Patricio – 8.5

Rui Patricio finished an excellent season with Roma by winning the Conference League. Jose Mourinho’s side defeated Feyenoord in the first-ever final of the competition.

Last season, Patricio recorded a brilliant 70% save percentage in the Conference League. He’s our pick as goalkeeper and is likely to be busier between both keepers.

Defenders

Joao Cancelo – 9

Joao Cancelo won the Premier League with Man City, and his impact on this City side was crucial. The full-back had a remarkable season and was one of the best players in the Premier League.

He played most of the season as a left-back, and his performances were outstanding. His crosses into the box, dribbling and movements were a key part of City’s threat offensive threat. He could be vital in today’s game and is a pick you can explore.

Jordi Alba – 9

Barcelona’s tremendous veteran left-back, Jordi Alba, would be a great pick for your fantasy team on BalleBaazi. Despite all the negativity Barcelona have been surrounded with in the past few seasons, he has been one of the most consistent performers for the club.

With his massive influence down the left side, he assisted 10 goals in 30 league appearances this season. He could be integral to Spain’s offensive threat and defensive duties.

Midfielders

Sergio Busquets – 8.5

Another Barcelona veteran, Sergio Busquets, is one of the hardest players to drop. Despite his ageing legs, his performances have been at a high standard.

His positional awareness, reading of the game and quality of distribution are the attributes that any team would benefit from in the heart of their midfield. He’s our pick in midfield for this game.

Bernardo Silva – 9

Bernardo Silva had an excellent season for Man City. In a season where the media has talked about the excellence of De Bruyne, Rodri and Mahrez considerably, Bernardo Silva’s contribution to City’s title win has been immense.

For Portugal’s success in the upcoming games, his versatility could be a key weapon for Fernando Santos and he is likely to be among the goals and assists for his team.

Strikers

Diogo Jota – 9

Diogo Jota is a player who has been consistently improving for a few seasons now. He was great at Wolves and hit new levels under Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.

He was on fire in the first half of the season, however, he was comparatively not as good towards the end of the season. 

Despite not performing as well in the latter stages of the season, Jota scored 15 goals in the Premier League, the third-most in Klopp’s Liverpool side. Jota’s attacking threat could be influential for Portugal in the coming games in the Nations League and is a pick you could explore for your team.

Cristiano Ronaldo – 9

There cannot be much debate about this selection. Ronaldo is Portugal’s main offensive threat, and is their talisman and captain.

Despite Manchester United’s underwhelming season, Ronaldo scored 18 goals, and only Son and Salah scored more goals than him.

He could have another sensational performance against Spain, just like when he scored a hattrick against them back in the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
