The Sampdoria this morning announced the purchase of Ernesto Torregrossa from Brescia, his contract was already deposited with the Lega yesterday. Let’s see his management of fantasy football through some questions that have come to us in the last hours.
– Will Torregrossa do well in Sampdoria? Let’s start with the most general question of all. Torregrossa can do well, yes, even if the Sampdoria attack does not have great numbers. Overall it can be a useful purchase for Ranieri’s team, scoring those goals that were missed by the “second striker”.
– Why is Quagliarella out? Ranieri explained it yesterday after the game: “I’m sorry to keep Quagliarella on the bench because he is our leader, but sometimes we play differently so if he misses a few games, nothing happens. The question is only of characteristics ”. No market, therefore, behind the latest exclusions with Inter and Spezia. Only tactical choices: when Ranieri sets up the game to play on the counterattack, he sometimes keeps Quagliarella out. He did it against Inter which is one of the strongest and away teams against Spezia. These are the coach’s assessments, however he will return to have his space also as a starter.
– Will Quagliarella play less with the arrival of Torregrossa? In reality Quagliarella always has priority, his place as a starter does not depend on the alternatives but on the characteristics of the match. If Ranieri thinks there is a game from Quagliarella, Fabio plays. If not, he evaluates the alternatives he has available, as he had also done with La Gumina in recent weeks. However, Quagliarella remains the penalty taker and this year he scored 7 goals, so when he plays the net he finds it.
– Will Torregrossa be the owner? There are no fixed hierarchies in the Sampdoria attack, we have seen it. It is therefore not a fixed holder for the repair rod, but a striker who plays the spot. From the start or in the current race, it will still have its space.
– Does Keita play less? The situation at the moment is that there are three forwards for two places, plus Damsgaard or other attacking midfielders in the event of a 4-4-1-1. And when Gabbiadini returns. Keita can also be an excellent weapon during the race, so if he is good, he almost always gets the vote. In the last two he played as a starter, maybe in the next two he will make a few more rotations but will still have a lot of space.
– Gabbiadini the release? Given the arrival of Torregrossa, one can also think of freeing Gabbiadini who is injured. On his return there will be competition from Keita, Quagliarella and Torregrossa. In addition to Damsgaard, Verre and Ramirez who can play as second striker.
– Torregrossa at the repair auction I take it? It is a very poor market, so far there have been no major transfers. Torregrossa is certainly free in all leagues, while for the other strikers (Messias, Nzola and co.) It depends on league in league. If Nzola is free, for example, he must be your first target. In 6-8 leagues there is better than Torregrossa, which is therefore placed in a second band. Also because, as we have seen, he is not a regular “Messias-style” holder, but one who plays for the place. In numerous leagues where perhaps the various Nzola and Messias are already taken, someone like Torregrossa becomes among the first choices. In recent years, for example, there were Muriel at Fiorentina or Ibrahimovic at Milan in January, this year is a much more blocked market and without money. So even someone like Torregrossa also becomes useful for fantasy football. Let’s see if between now and the end of the transfer market there will be other movements for the forwards …
