Captain of the week

Alexander Sobolev

Alexander Sobolev is the smart captain choice because he is averaging a goal per match over the last five, is locked into Zenit's Starting XI for roughly 80 minutes, and his side sits at a perfect team form index, which turns that scoring rate into both a reliable floor and a high ceiling. His Sorare Edge projection and medium confidence line up with the on-field evidence, so you get minutes security and direct goal involvement rather than speculative returns. Konstantin Tyukavin and Lucas Olaza are the nearest rivals; Tyukavin matches minutes and has a slightly higher projection but a weaker team form and lower goals per match, making him less dependable as the focal scorer. Olaza posts the highest projection but as a defender his upside depends more on clean sheets and set pieces, and teammates Igor Diveev and Roman Zobnin fall further short thanks to lower attacking numbers or softer team form.

🅒 Captain targets

1
Alexander Sobolev Sorare card

He is red-hot in front of goal, scoring at a 1.00 per-match clip over the last five and is a steady member of Zenit's Starting XI. Sobolev has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and fifteen appearances in the last 15 game weeks, averaging 80 minutes per match and chipping in 0.20 assists in that recent sample. With the team form index at 100.00 and an 80.8 Sorare Edge projection for the trip at FK Orenburg, his ceiling is attractive while model confidence is medium, so expect a strong floor but some variance in game-to-game returns.

2
Konstantin Tyukavin Sorare card

With 0.60 goals per match over the last five, a steady 80 minutes per game and five appearances in the last 5 game weeks, Tyukavin offers a reliable scoring floor and is a STARTER who should be in Dynamo's Starting XI for the away trip to FK Baltika Kaliningrad. Dynamo's healthy team form at 73.33 and his ironman run of 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks bolster his upside, and an 83.1 point Sorare Edge projection points to a strong ceiling, though model confidence is medium so treat the upside as likely but not guaranteed.

3
Lucas Olaza Sorare card

What makes Lucas Olaza rosterable is his lock on Krasnodar's Starting XI and consistent 90-minute output; he has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks. That availability gives him a high defensive floor at home against FK Fakel Voronezh, and Krasnodar's 80.00 team form combined with a Sorare Edge projection of 85.3 points points to real upside for clean-sheet and minutes-based scoring. Model confidence is medium, so treat steady minutes as your baseline while viewing the projection as a likely but not certain ceiling.

4
Igor Diveev Sorare card

What makes Igor Diveev appealing this week is his iron-clad availability; he's a regular in Zenit's Starting XI and has logged 90 minutes per game with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, giving him a reliable floor. Zenit's 100.00 team form index boosts his clean-sheet upside away at FK Orenburg, and he brings a little attacking pop too, averaging 0.20 goals and 0.20 assists per match over his last five. The Sorare Edge projection of 80.5 points with medium confidence indicates a meaningful ceiling, so consider him a dependable start whose value hinges on secure minutes and steady defensive returns with occasional goal involvement.

Our Prediction80.5Buy on Sorare →
5
Roman Zobnin Sorare card

What makes Zobnin fantasy-friendly is his ironclad role; he is a STARTER in Spartak's Starting XI, averaging 88 minutes and logging five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks. That kind of continuity comes with payoff offensively, as he has produced 0.20 goals and 0.20 assists per match over his last five, enough to deliver a reliable floor and the occasional game-changing return. Spartak's form index sits at 66.67 and with an away date at FK Akhmat Grozny his Sorare Edge projection is 79.6 points with medium confidence, so view him as a steady minutes-based start with a realistic ceiling if he finds the box or sets up a teammate.

🧤 Goalkeepers

1
Stanislav Agkatsev Sorare card

Locked into Krasnodar's Starting XI, Agkatsev offers a dependable floor thanks to steady minutes, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks while averaging 81 minutes per match. Hosting FK Fakel Voronezh, he benefits from a team form index of 80.00 and an 80.9-point Sorare Edge projection, which supports real clean-sheet upside for fantasy managers. Model confidence is medium, so expect a reliable baseline with upside if he keeps the net tidy rather than a high-variance lottery pick.

Our Prediction80.9Buy on Sorare →
2
Rustam Yatimov Sorare card

As Rostov's undisputed starter in the Starting XI, Yatimov has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 13 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, and he averages a full 90 minutes, so his minutes floor is about as secure as it gets at goalkeeper. The Sorare Edge projection sits at 80.2 points with medium model confidence, which signals a meaningful ceiling from saves and the occasional clean sheet if the defense holds up. He travels to FK Rodina Moskva, so expect steady playing time with some variance in fantasy returns; plug him in when you prioritize a dependable minutes floor and upside from a strong projection.

3
Evgeni Staver Sorare card

What sells here is availability and stability. Evgeni Staver is entrenched in the Starting XI for FK Rubin Kazan, logged 90 minutes per game and five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his floor is high for the away date at FK Akron Togliatti. The Sorare Edge projection of 78.3 points, with medium model confidence, points to a real ceiling, and his 0.20 assists per match over the last five shows he can chip in extra fantasy value beyond shot-stopping; pick him when you need a dependable baseline with upside rather than a boom-or-bust punt.

Our Prediction78.3Buy on Sorare →
4
Vladislav Torop Sorare card

What makes Torop appealing this week is reliability: he is the confirmed starter who plays the full 90 minutes, giving a steady floor for fantasy rosters. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and eight appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so recent continuity in the Starting XI pairs nicely with a team form index of 66.67. Hosting PFK Krylya Sovetov Samara, Torop carries an above-average ceiling for a clean sheet, and the Sorare Edge projection of 74.5 pts at medium confidence makes him a sensible, not speculative, option for managers who value secure minutes and upside.

Our Prediction74.5Buy on Sorare →
5
Sergey Pesjakov Sorare card

Pesjakov is about as reliable as you can ask for between the sticks, with 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks and an 87-minute per game average that basically locks him into the Starting XI. A Sorare Edge projection of 72.8 and a team form index of 66.67 point to a meaningful ceiling this week even on the trip to PFC CSKA, because you get volume plus a team that is trending positively. Model confidence is medium, so treat him as a steady floor play who also carries upside if Samara keeps its recent form intact.

Oumar Sako Sorare card

Rostov hands him full trust. He is a STARTER who averages 90 minutes per game and has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 13 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his floor is anchored by near‑automatic minutes in the Starting XI. A Sorare Edge projection of 80.8 points supports using him as a foundational defensive option for the trip to FK Rodina Moskva (away), with steady clean‑sheet and defensive-action upside; model confidence is medium, so expect some variance rather than an explosive ceiling.

3
Igor Diveev Sorare card

What makes Igor Diveev appealing this week is his iron-clad availability; he's a regular in Zenit's Starting XI and has logged 90 minutes per game with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, giving him a reliable floor. Zenit's 100.00 team form index boosts his clean-sheet upside away at FK Orenburg, and he brings a little attacking pop too, averaging 0.20 goals and 0.20 assists per match over his last five. The Sorare Edge projection of 80.5 points with medium confidence indicates a meaningful ceiling, so consider him a dependable start whose value hinges on secure minutes and steady defensive returns with occasional goal involvement.

4
Nino Sorare card

Nino is about as close to a locked-in defensive starter as you can get. A STARTER who plays 90 minutes per game with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, he delivers a very safe floor thanks to ironed-in minutes in Zenit's Starting XI. With the team form index at 100.00 and a Sorare Edge projection of 78.9 points, his ceiling this week includes genuine clean-sheet upside against FK Orenburg away, though model confidence is medium so treat the upside as probable rather than guaranteed.

5
Dmitri Skopintsev Sorare card

Skopintsev's clearest fantasy strength is availability and role security; he is a STARTER in Dynamo's Starting XI and is averaging 76 minutes per game. 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 and steady clean-sheet upside heading to FK Baltika Kaliningrad away while Dynamo sits on a 73.33 team form index. The Sorare Edge projection of 78.2 points, with medium model confidence, points to a solid ceiling if the back line clicks, so treat him as a dependable defensive option with some upside rather than a boom-or-bust flyer.

🎯 Midfielders

1
Batxi Sorare card

Reliability is Batxi's calling card; he's a STARTER averaging 77 minutes per game with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his floor in fantasy lineups is consistently high. Playing at home against FK Fakel Voronezh he brings steady creative value, posting 0.20 assists per match across the last five while slotting into a Krasnodar side carrying an 80.00 team form index, which gives him real upside for a goal-creating return. The Sorare Edge projection sits at 80.4 points with medium model confidence, so treat him as a reliable Starting XI option whose ceiling is meaningful but not guaranteed.

Roman Zobnin Sorare card

What makes Zobnin fantasy-friendly is his ironclad role; he is a STARTER in Spartak's Starting XI, averaging 88 minutes and logging five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks. That kind of continuity comes with payoff offensively, as he has produced 0.20 goals and 0.20 assists per match over his last five, enough to deliver a reliable floor and the occasional game-changing return. Spartak's form index sits at 66.67 and with an away date at FK Akhmat Grozny his Sorare Edge projection is 79.6 points with medium confidence, so view him as a steady minutes-based start with a realistic ceiling if he finds the box or sets up a teammate.

Aleksey Mironov is a reliability play first and foremost, averaging 85 minutes per game and locked into the Starting XI for FK Rostov. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his floor is attractive for managers who prize secure minutes. The Sorare Edge projection of 78.6 pts points to real upside against FK Rodina Moskva (away), although model confidence is medium, so treat him as a dependable starter with a solid ceiling rather than a boom-or-bust lottery ticket.

4
Kevin Pina Sorare card

Pina's biggest asset right now is availability and minutes; he is a confirmed Starter in Krasnodar's Starting XI and averages 72 minutes per outing, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which sets a reliable fantasy floor. He carries a modest scoring edge too, hitting 0.20 goals per match over the last five, and with Krasnodar in good form at home against FK Fakel Voronezh he should see plenty of involvement to justify a start. The Sorare Edge projection of 78.6 points, flagged with medium confidence, paints him as a safe baseline option with upside if he converts chances and keeps his run going.

5
Veldin Hodža Sorare card

Hodža is as dependable as they come for Rubin, averaging 88 minutes per game and listed as a STARTER, which locks him into the Starting XI and gives a strong floor for fantasy lineups. He has chipped in offensively with 0.20 assists per match over the last five and his appearance run is steady, with appearances in the last 5 game weeks: 5 and appearances in the last 15 game weeks: 14, so there is continuity to chase chances against FK Akron Togliatti away. The Sorare Edge projection sits at 78.0 points with model confidence MEDIUM, indicating a plausible ceiling if he continues to see the same workload, making him a sensible midfield start with a modest risk-reward profile.

Konstantin Tyukavin Sorare card

With 0.60 goals per match over the last five, a steady 80 minutes per game and five appearances in the last 5 game weeks, Tyukavin offers a reliable scoring floor and is a STARTER who should be in Dynamo's Starting XI for the away trip to FK Baltika Kaliningrad. Dynamo's healthy team form at 73.33 and his ironman run of 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks bolster his upside, and an 83.1 point Sorare Edge projection points to a strong ceiling, though model confidence is medium so treat the upside as likely but not guaranteed.

2
Dmitri Vorobjev Sorare card

Vorobjev's biggest selling point this week is reliability: he averages 81 minutes per game and is penciled into Krasnodar's Starting XI for the clash with FK Fakel Voronezh (home). He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 13 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, and with a team form index of 80.00 and a Sorare Edge projection of 81.0, the analytics favor a strong ceiling for goal involvement. Model confidence is medium, so treat him as a steady-floor forward thanks to his minutes, but one whose upside will hinge on finishing luck and the quality of service.

Alexander Sobolev Sorare card

He is red-hot in front of goal, scoring at a 1.00 per-match clip over the last five and is a steady member of Zenit's Starting XI. Sobolev has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and fifteen appearances in the last 15 game weeks, averaging 80 minutes per match and chipping in 0.20 assists in that recent sample.

4
Mirlind Daku Sorare card

Daku's most compelling trait right now is his usage; he is a confirmed starter who averages 86 minutes per game and over the last five matches has produced 0.40 goals per match, so he is consistently at the center of Rubin's attack. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and nine appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which gives him a solid floor, and the Sorare Edge projection of 78.0 points for the Akron Togliatti away fixture signals a meaningful ceiling if Rubin finds its rhythm. The downside is a team form index of 33.33, which caps upside and explains the model's medium confidence, but with reliable minutes and a steady scoring rate he is a playable starter in most formats.

Our Prediction78.0Buy on Sorare →
5
Manfred Ugalde Sorare card

Ugalde's biggest selling point is reliability: he's listed as STARTER and logs heavy minutes, averaging 81 per game with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which makes him a very safe Starting XI bet for an Akhmat Grozny away date. He has chipped in offensively, producing 0.20 goals and 0.40 assists per match over the last five, and a Sorare Edge projection of 77.2 points alongside a team form index of 66.67 points toward a nice upside if Spartak controls the game. Expect a solid floor from consistent minutes and a reasonable ceiling given his recent chance creation, though the model's medium confidence means you should price in some variance.
