Sorare Football Picks for GW96 Jul 31 - Aug 4: Liga Pro
Franco Posse
Franco Posse is the clearest captain pick because he pairs an elite finishing run 1.20 goals per match over the last five with ironclad Starting XI security, 15 appearances in the last 15 and strong team form, giving him the highest floor and a huge ceiling on a home fixture and an 83.0 Sorare Edge projection. Mauro Díaz is the closest rival on paper with a tiny edge in projection, but as a midfielder with just 0.20 goals per match he lacks Posse's pure scoring punch and upside from a captain boost, making him more dependent on assists. Franco Ayunta threatens with strong minutes and a 0.80 goals rate, yet Delfín’s low team form and a tricky trip to LDU Quito blunt his ceiling compared with Posse’s healthier environment. Emiliano Griffa and Ronie Carrillo are respectable alternatives, but Griffa faces Barcelona SC and has limited goal involvement, while Carrillo’s scoring runs are undermined by Mushuc Runa’s poor form, so neither quite matches Posse’s combination of form, role and reliability.
🅒 Captain targets

Few forwards in the league have been hotter: Franco Posse has averaged 1.20 goals per match across his last five and added 0.40 assists, making him a genuine scoring and creative threat as CSD Macará hosts Guayaquil City FC. He is a STARTER in the Starting XI who is logging heavy minutes, averaging 83 per game, and that reliability shows in five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which gives him a high floor for fantasy lineups. With Macará's team form index at 80.00 and a Sorare Edge projection of 83.0 points, his ceiling looks attractive, though model confidence is MEDIUM so treat the upside as probable rather than certain.

Mauro Díaz's biggest asset this week is his steady creative output and near-complete matches, he averages 0.40 assists per match over the last five while logging about 85 minutes a game, so he tends to be on the pitch when chances need to be finished. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so expect him in the Starting XI for CD Universidad Católica del Ecuador at home against CD Técnico Universitario, and a team form index of 66.67 plus an 83.5-point Sorare Edge projection underline a strong upside. With medium model confidence the floor is a reliable assist chance and steady minutes, while the ceiling is a clear goal or multi-assist impact if he finds space, making him a sensible start for managers who prize consistent creativity.

Franco Ayunta is hot right now, averaging 0.80 goals per match across the last five and logging heavy minutes as a regular in the Starting XI at about 89 minutes per appearance. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which gives him a high floor because you can bank on steady minutes and consistent attacking involvement even away to Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito. Sorare Edge pegs him at 80.0 points with medium model confidence, so treat him as a high-upside midfielder whose dependable playing time makes him a strong start when you need goal-orientated production.

The clearest reason to back Emiliano Griffa is his availability and heavy minutes; he averages 89 minutes per game and has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 13 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which makes him a dependable presence when named in the Starting XI. He also brings a scoring edge, registering 0.20 goals per match over his last five, and an 82.3 Sorare Edge projection alongside a 73.33 team form index points to a high ceiling at home against Barcelona SC, although the model's confidence is medium. If you need a steady floor from consistent minutes with a realistic chance of a goal or decisive contribution, Griffa is a sensible start rather than a boom-or-bust gamble.

The clearest reason to start Ronie Carrillo is his role in the team: he is a fixture in the Starting XI, averaging 85 minutes per game, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks. That steady workload has produced tangible returns, as he is averaging 0.60 goals per match and 0.20 assists per match over the last five, so his ceiling is solid whenever he gets service. He heads away to Manta FC next and a Sorare Edge projection of 79.3 points with medium confidence points to a reliable floor from minutes plus a realistic upside if he converts chances.
🧤 Goalkeepers

Quintana is about as locked in as a keeper gets, starting every match and logging 90 minutes per game, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which gives him a very reliable floor for fantasy lineups. Independiente del Valle's team form sits at 100.00 and he draws a home date with CD Cuenca, so the clean-sheet upside is tangible and the Sorare Edge projection of 84.2 points underlines his ceiling. Model confidence is medium, so expect some variance, but he is the dependable Starting XI option when you need steady minutes and real shutout potential.

Durability is his calling card; as Libertad's Starter in the Starting XI he plays 90 minutes per game and has logged five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks. That steady workload and a team form index of 66.67 give him a sturdy floor for saves and a realistic chance at a clean sheet against Orense SC at home, and the Sorare Edge projection pegs his upside at 81.7 points. Model confidence is medium, so treat him as a reliable start with measured upside rather than a high-variance punt.

Nazareno's most decisive asset is reliability. He is a lock for the Starting XI, averaging 90 minutes per match, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks. That continuity plus a team form index of 73.33 gives him genuine clean-sheet upside at home against Barcelona SC and supports an attractive 81.0-point Sorare Edge projection. Model confidence is medium, so view him as a low-risk floor play with a strong ceiling if the defense holds and he banks a shutout and bonus points.

Rodrigo Rodríguez's biggest asset is availability; he is listed as STARTER and plays 90 minutes per game, with appearances in the last 5 game weeks: 5 and appearances in the last 15 game weeks: 14, making him a dependable fixture in Macará's Starting XI. Macará's team form index of 80.00 suggests the defense is in good nick, which gives Rodríguez a solid floor for saves and clean-sheet upside at home against Guayaquil City FC. The Sorare Edge projection of 77.2 pts with model confidence MEDIUM frames him as a steady, startable option whose ceiling rises if the back line holds, rather than a high-variance lottery.

Availability is the headline with Rodrigo Formento; he is a nailed-on starter for Mushuc Runa SC, averaging 90 minutes and logging 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks and five appearances in the last 5 game weeks, which alone gives him a reliable floor as the Starting XI goalkeeper. The Sorare Edge projection of 76.9 points with medium model confidence paints him as a strong fantasy option, and Mushuc Runa's low team form index of 26.67 likely lowers clean-sheet probability while boosting his upside through save volume. For the trip to Manta FC he profiles as a safe roster anchor with upside if he is forced into a busy day, and a capped ceiling if the defense tightens up.
🛡️ Defenders

Cangá's selling point is his ironclad availability. He averages 90 minutes per game as a STARTER, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 13 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so you can expect him in the Starting XI. Facing CD Técnico Universitario at home and with Universidad Católica on a 66.67 form index, he brings a high floor through full-match defensive minutes and a clear upside if the defense keeps a clean sheet; the Sorare Edge projection of 82.6 points with medium confidence frames him as a reliable fantasy option with steady baseline production and occasional upside.
Chancellor's biggest selling point is dependability; he averages 90 minutes per game and is in the Starting XI for a home meeting with CD Técnico Universitario, which gives him a high floor. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his role and availability are as secure as they get, and his team's 66.67 form index points to a defense that is trending in the right direction. The Sorare Edge projection of 82.5 points with medium model confidence signals a meaningful ceiling for fantasy returns, so expect steady baseline production with upside rather than boom-or-bust volatility.

Rodrigo Morínigo is a 90-minute fixture in Club Atlético Libertad's Starting XI, which gives him a dependable fantasy floor as a defender after five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and five appearances in the last 15 game weeks. An 82.4-point Sorare Edge projection paired with Libertad's 66.67 team form index suggests meaningful clean-sheet upside at home to Orense SC, so his ceiling is attractive if the team locks down defensively. Model confidence is medium, so view him as a steady, startable option for roster stability rather than a boom-or-bust gamble.

Availability is the selling point here; Castillo is a STARTER who logs 90 minutes per game and has been ever-present, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, locked into Delfín's Starting XI. That continuity raises his floor and the Sorare Edge projection of 77.1 points makes him a sensible start for the away date with Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito, since you can bank on steady minutes. Still, a team form index of 40.00 and medium model confidence temper his upside, so treat him as a dependable minutes play with moderate ceiling rather than a high-variance matchup breaker.

Rubio's clearest edge is availability and minutes, he's a locked-in starter in Delfín's Starting XI who averages 90 minutes and has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks plus 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks. That reliability creates a high floor against Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito away, and a Sorare Edge projection of 76.9 pts points to a solid ceiling with model confidence rated medium. His club's 40.00 team form index hasn't cost him starts, so Rubio is a dependable, minutes-driven defensive option with upside if Delfín can keep the game tight.

Alonso's most attractive trait right now is his scoring form; he has averaged 0.40 goals per match over his last five outings and is a regular in the Starting XI, so his ceiling is real when he stays on the pitch. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks while averaging about 78 minutes per game, which gives him a reliable floor for fantasy lineups at home against CD Técnico Universitario. The Sorare Edge projection sits at 79.8 with medium model confidence and a team form index of 66.67, so expect a solid probability of a tangible return but treat him as a medium-risk, medium-reward starter rather than a lock.
Matías Miranda is a reliable creative piece for the Starting XI at home against Guayaquil City FC, averaging 0.60 assists per match over his last 5 while playing about 85 minutes a game. Durability is a real asset here, he has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, and the model hands him a 79.0-point Sorare Edge projection with a team form index of 80.00 and medium confidence. The 0.20 goals per match add a little scoring upside, so his profile is a solid floor as a consistent chance creator with a reasonable ceiling rather than a pure matchbreaker.
⚡ Forwards

Few forwards in the league have been hotter: Franco Posse has averaged 1.20 goals per match across his last five and added 0.40 assists, making him a genuine scoring and creative threat as CSD Macará hosts Guayaquil City FC. He is a STARTER in the Starting XI who is logging heavy minutes, averaging 83 per game, and that reliability shows in five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which gives him a high floor for fantasy lineups. With Macará's team form index at 80.00 and a Sorare Edge projection of 83.0 points, his ceiling looks attractive, though model confidence is MEDIUM so treat the upside as probable rather than certain.

What grabs you about Londoño is the reliability: five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and twelve appearances in the last 15 game weeks, he averages 89 minutes per game and is listed as a STARTER, so he brings a high floor for managers rostering a forward at home vs CD Técnico Universitario. The Sorare Edge projection sits at 82.8 and his team form index is 66.67, which points to real upside if Católica control the game, though model confidence is MEDIUM so treat some of that ceiling as probabilistic rather than certain. Start him for steady, minutes-backed attacking exposure rather than as a pure boom-or-bust punt.

Availability is his biggest fantasy edge: Anangonó is a Starting XI regular who logs 90 minutes and has 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, giving him a high floor for CD Leones del Norte as they host Barcelona SC. His scoring has been modest but present, at 0.20 goals per match over the last five, and the Sorare Edge projection of 82.3 points combined with a team form index of 73.33 suggests a meaningful ceiling if finishing improves.

Locking Elvis Patta into the Starting XI is the safe play this week; he has been an ironman with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks while averaging 87 minutes per match.
