Sorare Football Picks for GW96 Jul 31 - Aug 4: Primera Division de Chile
Jeisson Vargas
Jeisson Vargas is the best captain choice because he pairs the top Sorare Edge projection at 83.7 with ironclad minutes and Starting XI security, plus elite chance creation shown by 0.80 assists per match over the last five, so his floor and ceiling are both attractive at home to CD O'Higgins. Jeyson Rojas comes closest thanks to Colo-Colo's perfect team form and steady minutes, and his projection is nearly as high, but as a defender his scoring ceiling and direct attacking involvement are inherently limited. Eduardo Vargas is the other real threat because of his 0.80 goals per match, yet his reduced minutes (77) and lower projection (79.0) make him a riskier captain if he is subbed. Arturo Vidal and Gonzalo Escalante are playable backups; Vidal offers experience but less end product and slightly fewer minutes, while Escalante shares Vargas's team form weakness and lacks Jeisson's assist output, so both fall just short.
🅒 Captain targets

Vargas is playing like La Serena's most dependable outlet, averaging 0.80 assists per match over the last five while routinely completing 90 minutes, so he brings a high floor through steady involvement. He's locked into the Starting XI with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which makes him an easy start at home against CD O'Higgins when you value guaranteed minutes and chance creation. The Sorare Edge projection of 83.7 points with medium model confidence points to a meaningful ceiling on returns, even if the team form index sits at 33.33, so expect steady assist upside and a reasonable shot at an attacking payoff.

The clearest edge with Jeyson Rojas is availability and role stability; he is a starter who averages 90 minutes per game, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his floor is set by reliable minutes in Colo-Colo's Starting XI. He also brings an attacking upside unusual for a defender, posting 0.40 goals per match and 0.20 assists per match over his last five, numbers that lift his ceiling beyond clean-sheet points alone. With a team form index of 100.00 behind him and a Sorare Edge projection of 82.2 points at medium confidence, expect a high-probability baseline performance and a realistic chance of extra returns against Everton de Viña del Mar (away).
Vidal is about as close to a locked-in veteran as you can get at Colo-Colo, averaging 88 minutes per game with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so expect him in the Starting XI and offering a sturdy floor. He has been directly involved in scoring recently, compiling 0.20 goals and 0.20 assists per match over the last five, which gives him real upside as a contributor in attack. Backing that, the Sorare Edge projection sits at 81.2 and his team form index is 100.00, so there is clear ceiling here, though model confidence is medium so some variance is possible.

Vargas's most compelling trait right now is his scoring form, delivering 0.80 goals per match over the last five, which makes him a real attacking threat at home against CD Huachipato. He is listed as STARTER and has been a regular in the Starting XI, averaging 77 minutes per game with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 13 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his floor is backed by steady minutes. Add 0.20 assists per match and a 79.0 Sorare Edge projection with medium model confidence and a team form index of 66.67, and you get a high ceiling option with occasional volatility rather than a lock-and-forget play.
Durability and role certainty sell Escalante here. He has been named in the Starting XI, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 12 appearances in the last 15 game weeks while averaging 90 minutes per game, so he brings a very reliable floor. He also carries scoring upside, posting 0.20 goals per match across his last five outings and earning an 82.1-point Sorare Edge projection with medium confidence, which makes him a sensible home play against CD O'Higgins with a reasonable probability of delivering goal-related returns.
🧤 Goalkeepers

Pérez's biggest selling point is availability: he has 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks and averages 90 minutes per outing, which locks him into the Starting XI and gives fantasy managers a dependable floor. A Sorare Edge projection of 82.4 points, backed by a team form index of 53.33, suggests a genuine ceiling this week away at Club Deportes Limache with a realistic chance for clean-sheet points and steady save volume. Model confidence is medium, so treat him as a safe minutes-based option with some upside rather than a high-variance flyer.

Availability is the hook with Castellón; he plays 90 minutes per game and is firmly in the Starting XI, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so you get a dependable floor for the upcoming home date with CD Huachipato. The Sorare Edge projection lands at 79.5 points and the team form index sits at 66.67, which supports a reasonable chance for clean-sheet upside and steady save production, though model confidence is medium so his ceiling should be treated as attractive but not certain.

Maureira is as safe as a fantasy keeper gets for now, a steady presence in Colo-Colo's Starting XI who logs 90 minutes a game and has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks. With his team sitting on a 100.00 form index and a Sorare Edge projection of 78.7, he offers a clear ceiling via clean-sheet upside in an away match with dependable minutes. The tradeoff is that he has eight appearances in the last 15 game weeks and model confidence is medium, so expect some variance, but he still profiles as a sensible start when you want security and upside between the posts.

He has real appeal as a reliable minutes play since he is the Starting XI goalkeeper and averages 90 minutes per game, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks underscoring that recent trust. Playing at home against Audax Italiano La Florida SADP, he carries a 77.7-point Sorare Edge projection and medium model confidence, which boosts his ceiling in formats that reward saves and clean-sheet probability. There is some caveat to the floor because he has only six appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so the upside depends on that current run continuing.

Availability is Santander's calling card right now; he has been in the Starting XI for five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and logs 90 minutes per game, so you get a locked-in goalkeeper rather than a matchup gamble. The Sorare Edge projection sits at 77.6 pts with medium confidence, giving him real upside at home against CD Unión La Calera, and nine appearances in the last 15 game weeks show steady involvement across the stretch. That combination creates a safe floor from guaranteed minutes and save chances, with the ceiling coming from a clean sheet or a handful of key stops.
🛡️ Defenders

The clearest edge with Jeyson Rojas is availability and role stability; he is a starter who averages 90 minutes per game, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his floor is set by reliable minutes in Colo-Colo's Starting XI. He also brings an attacking upside unusual for a defender, posting 0.40 goals per match and 0.20 assists per match over his last five, numbers that lift his ceiling beyond clean-sheet points alone. With a team form index of 100.00 behind him and a Sorare Edge projection of 82.2 points at medium confidence, expect a high-probability baseline performance and a realistic chance of extra returns against Everton de Viña del Mar (away).
An 80.0 Sorare Edge projection is the sharpest fact on Rasso's sheet, suggesting a rare upside for a defender if he racks up clean-sheet or bonus points. He is listed as a SUPER_SUBSTITUTE but averages 90 minutes per game, which tells you that when coaches pick him he tends to play the whole match, yet he has one appearance in the last 15 game weeks so his floor is capped by scarce usage. Model confidence is low, so treat him as a boom-or-bust option who only makes sense if you believe he can pry a spot into the Starting XI for the home meeting with CD O'Higgins.

Availability is the asset with Salazar. He is listed as STARTER, averaging 87 minutes per game and a near-lock for the Starting XI with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 12 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so managers buying reliability get a high floor. The Sorare Edge projection sits at 79.3 pts with medium model confidence, which points to decent upside at home against CD O'Higgins while still leaving room for variance typical of defensive scoring.

Availability is the most persuasive trait here. Yerco Oyanedel is a Starter who averages 90 minutes per game and has made five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15, so his floor is dependable minutes in the Starting XI. He also offers a useful attacking edge from the back, posting 0.20 assists per match over his last five, which raises his ceiling for formats that reward assists and chances created, particularly with the fixture at home against Audax Italiano La Florida SADP. The Sorare Edge projection sits at 78.7 with medium confidence, suggesting a solid upside if everything clicks while still carrying the safety of consistent playing time.

Tiznado's clear selling point is availability; he averages 90 minutes per game and is a guaranteed member of the Starting XI, so you get floor from minutes alone. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 12 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which translates into steady baseline production and real clean-sheet upside at home against Unión La Calera. The Sorare Edge projection of 78.4 points points to a solid ceiling, with medium model confidence suggesting some matchup sensitivity, but his minute security makes him a trustworthy start when you need dependable defensive scoring.
🎯 Midfielders

Minute security is the headline with Campusano; the midfielder is a Starter for Deportivo Ñublense SADP and averages 90 minutes per game, which gives him a reliable fantasy floor. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, and the Sorare Edge projection of 83.1 pts with model confidence MEDIUM points to a solid upside. The trip to Club Deportes Limache dampens the ceiling a touch, but with those heavy minutes and steady team form at 53.33 he profiles as a safe, high-floor start with a realistic chance to deliver above-average returns.
Durability and role certainty sell Escalante here. He has been named in the Starting XI, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 12 appearances in the last 15 game weeks while averaging 90 minutes per game, so he brings a very reliable floor. He also carries scoring upside, posting 0.20 goals per match across his last five outings and earning an 82.1-point Sorare Edge projection with medium confidence, which makes him a sensible home play against CD O'Higgins with a reasonable probability of delivering goal-related returns.

He is a STARTER who brings a reliability that matters in fantasy, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks while averaging 88 minutes per game, so his floor is high simply from opportunity. Sorare Edge pegs him at 82.0 points and the projection points to genuine ceiling potential for chances and assists, with model confidence labeled medium so expect some variance. Heading to Club Deportes Limache away, he looks like a safe midfield start for steady minutes and a realistic shot at a big box score night.

Bosso is a fixture in Deportivo Ñublense SADP's Starting XI, averaging 87 minutes per game with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his floor is unusually secure for a midfielder. The Sorare Edge projection of 82.0 points implies a strong ceiling if he carries that workload into the trip to Club Deportes Limache, though the model confidence is MEDIUM. Ñublense's team form index of 53.33 suggests only modest offensive traction, so expect steady baseline production and a fair chance of upside, but not a slam-dunk match-winning explosion.
Vidal is about as close to a locked-in veteran as you can get at Colo-Colo, averaging 88 minutes per game with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so expect him in the Starting XI and offering a sturdy floor. He has been directly involved in scoring recently, compiling 0.20 goals and 0.20 assists per match over the last five, which gives him real upside as a contributor in attack. Backing that, the Sorare Edge projection sits at 81.2 and his team form index is 100.00, so there is clear ceiling here, though model confidence is medium so some variance is possible.
⚡ Forwards

Vargas is playing like La Serena's most dependable outlet, averaging 0.80 assists per match over the last five while routinely completing 90 minutes, so he brings a high floor through steady involvement. He's locked into the Starting XI with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which makes him an easy start at home against CD O'Higgins when you value guaranteed minutes and chance creation. The Sorare Edge projection of 83.7 points with medium model confidence points to a meaningful ceiling on returns, even if the team form index sits at 33.33, so expect steady assist upside and a reasonable shot at an attacking payoff.

What makes Brea attractive is his availability and minutes; he is a fixture in CD Cobresal's Starting XI and averages 88 minutes per game, so you get a high floor from steady playing time. The finishing form is tangible too, with 0.40 goals per match over his last five and five appearances in the last 5 game weeks, suggesting the scorer's touch is current heading into the home date with CD Unión La Calera. Sorare Edge pegs him at 79.3 points with medium confidence, so expect a useful baseline and a reasonable ceiling if that scoring rhythm holds, while acknowledging some variance given the projection certainty.

Vargas's most compelling trait right now is his scoring form, delivering 0.80 goals per match over the last five, which makes him a real attacking threat at home against CD Huachipato. He is listed as STARTER and has been a regular in the Starting XI, averaging 77 minutes per game with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 13 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his floor is backed by steady minutes. Add 0.20 assists per match and a 79.0 Sorare Edge projection with medium model confidence and a team form index of 66.67, and you get a high ceiling option with occasional volatility rather than a lock-and-forget play.

Guerrero's biggest selling point is availability and minutes; he is a Starter who averages 80 minutes and has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which gives him a dependable floor. He brings modest creative upside too, chipping in 0.20 assists per match, and a home date with CD Huachipato should nudge his ceiling higher if Universidad de Chile's 66.67 team form continues. Sorare Edge pegs him at 77.0 points with medium model confidence, so expect steady baseline production with a reasonable chance of a useful attacking return rather than boom-or-bust upside.

When he gets minutes he is explosive, averaging 2.00 goals and 1.00 assists per match in the last five. That production underpins a high Sorare Edge projection of 75.7 points, but he has one appearance in the last 5 game weeks and one appearance in the last 15 game weeks, averages 45 minutes per game and is NOT_PLAYING for the home match with CD O'Higgins, so his floor is tiny while the ceiling stays enticing if he can claw his way back into the Starting XI. Model confidence is LOW, which makes him a deep-league dart throw rather than a plug-and-play option right now.
