Sorare Football Picks for GW96 Jul 31 - Aug 4: SuperSport HNL
Amer Gojak
Amer Gojak is the strongest captain pick because he pairs Starting XI minutes security with genuine two-way attacking output, logging 0.40 goals and 0.40 assists per match while Rijeka sits on strong form and an 81.2 Sorare Edge projection. That mix gives him a steadier floor than pure scorers and a comparable ceiling, since he can contribute even if his finishing ebbes and he averages 85 minutes with 14 appearances in the last 15. Jakov Puljić and Mladen Devetak are the closest threats; Puljić offers the biggest pure goal upside with 0.60 goals per match and 90 minutes but is more binary as a forward, and Devetak brings excellent minutes and assist numbers yet lacks the goal involvement Gojak shows here. Mislav Oršić and Branko Pavić fall further back because Oršić is hampered by Dinamo’s lower team form and only 0.20 goals per match recently, while Pavić has a weaker projection and fewer appearances over the last 15.
🅒 Captain targets

What makes Amer Gojak a must-consider is his ironclad role in Rijeka's Starting XI; he is averaging 85 minutes per game with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so availability is not a concern. He is also producing at a useful attacking clip, posting 0.40 goals per match and 0.40 assists per match over his last five, which gives him genuine upside against Derry City FC away. Rijeka's healthy team form of 86.67 and an 81.2 Sorare Edge projection support a high floor from steady minutes, with model confidence at medium suggesting a solid probability of a meaningful return rather than a pure flyer.

If you want a defender who adds genuine attacking juice, Devetak makes a strong case with 0.60 assists per match across his last five games while averaging 88 minutes a contest. He is a regular in Rijeka's Starting XI, logging five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and ten appearances in the last 15 game weeks, and Rijeka's team form index of 86.67 raises his clean-sheet ceiling against Derry City FC away. The Sorare Edge projection sits at 81.3 points with model confidence medium, so expect a high-floor fantasy option with a real ceiling if he tacks on another assist or helps keep a shutout.

Jakov Puljić's biggest selling point is consistency; he's a confirmed STARTER who plays 90 minutes per game and is averaging 0.60 goals per match across his last five. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his place in the Starting XI looks secure, and with Rijeka's team form index at 86.67 and an 81.4-point Sorare Edge projection with MEDIUM confidence he offers a solid floor and a meaningful ceiling for the trip to Derry City away.

Oršić is appealing because he is locked into the Starting XI and averages 84 minutes per game, while chipping in 0.40 assists per match over his last five outings, which underwrites his creative ceiling. Facing NK Slaven Belupo at home gives him a favorable platform and his 0.20 goals per match in that same span adds finishing upside, with Dinamo’s team form index at 73.33 helping the case. Appearances in the last 5 game weeks: 5 and appearances in the last 15 game weeks: 12, and a Sorare Edge projection of 81.5 pts with medium model confidence, point to a reliable floor from minutes and a reasonable upside if he continues to supply chances.

What makes Branko Pavić easy to trust is availability; he averages 89 minutes per game, is listed as a STARTER and a regular in Rijeka's Starting XI, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks, so he offers a high floor for fantasy lineups. Rijeka's team form index is 86.67 and the Sorare Edge projection sits at 80.5 points, which points to real upside for attacking returns away to Derry City FC. Model confidence is medium and he has nine appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so there is a modest rotation caveat that trims the ceiling, but his heavy minutes make him a worthwhile, lower-variance midfield option.
🧤 Goalkeepers

Matijaš's standout trait is reliability, he is locked into Gorica's Starting XI and has averaged 90 minutes per game with 5 appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which gives him a high baseline value for fantasy lineups. That steady playing time underpins a solid floor and the Sorare Edge projection of 78.3 points suggests a meaningful ceiling for a keeper facing NK Osijek at home. Model confidence is medium and the team form index sits at 40.00, so upside is somewhat capped, but for managers who prize minutes security over boom-or-bust volatility Matijaš is a sensible, low-risk start.

Availability is Kolić's calling card; he's a regular with 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks and four appearances in the last 5 game weeks, so the Starting XI looks likely to include him. Averaging 72 minutes per game gives him enough runway to pile up saves, and Sorare Edge still sees a solid ceiling at 70.7 points for this home date with NK Lokomotiva Zagreb. The projection carries low model confidence, so treat him as a dependable-floor option thanks to steady minutes, but expect some volatility in upside.

What stands out about Toni Silić is his availability; he is a regular for HNK Hajduk Split with fourteen appearances in the last 15 game weeks and four appearances in the last 5 game weeks, so he is a dependable Starting XI choice for the trip to Paphos FC. Averaging 72 minutes per game and riding a team form index of 66.67, Silić offers a high floor via steady minutes and clean-sheet potential, and the Sorare Edge projection of 67.6 points suggests a respectable ceiling. Model confidence is low, so expect some variance and treat him as a minutes-first, steady option rather than a boom-or-bust play.

Silić profiles as a high-upside keeper on the right night, his Sorare Edge projection of 58.9 points suggesting he can deliver a very useful return if he sees full matches. He is listed as REGULAR but averages only 54 minutes per game and has made three appearances in the last 5 game weeks and four appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so the floor is constrained by rotation and the model flags LOW confidence. With Varaždin sitting on a 66.67 team form index, he carries a playable ceiling for the away date at FK Jablonec, best targeted as a mid-tier starter in the Starting XI when you can live with minutes risk.

Availability is Malenica's biggest sell; Osijek lists him as REGULAR and he has 11 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, including three appearances in the last 5 game weeks, so he brings a reliable presence in goal. That steady involvement underpins a Sorare Edge projection of 56.8 points for the trip to HNK Gorica, signaling a ceiling that matters in formats that reward saves and clean-sheet potential. Model confidence is low, so treat him as a moderate-floor option if he starts in the Starting XI, but balance the upside with Osijek's current form index of 26.67 before banking on him in fragile lineups.
🛡️ Defenders

If you want a defender who adds genuine attacking juice, Devetak makes a strong case with 0.60 assists per match across his last five games while averaging 88 minutes a contest. He is a regular in Rijeka's Starting XI, logging five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and ten appearances in the last 15 game weeks, and Rijeka's team form index of 86.67 raises his clean-sheet ceiling against Derry City FC away. The Sorare Edge projection sits at 81.3 points with model confidence medium, so expect a high-floor fantasy option with a real ceiling if he tacks on another assist or helps keep a shutout.

Most compelling here is Oreč's reliability, a regular in Rijeka's Starting XI who averages 87 minutes per game and has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 11 appearances in the last 15 game weeks. He heads into the trip to Derry City FC (away) riding team form of 86.67 and an 80.0 Sorare Edge projection, which points to a high floor for fantasy managers given the model's medium confidence. He also brings a bit of attacking upside, recording 0.20 assists per match in the last 5, so expect steady minutes and occasional assist upside rather than boom-or-bust production.

What makes Ante Majstorović easy to trust is his ironman availability at the heart of Rijeka's defence; he averages 90 minutes per game and is a fixture in Rijeka's Starting XI with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks. That steady availability, coupled with a team form index of 86.67 and a Sorare Edge projection of 79.9 points, pushes his ceiling toward a clean-sheet and bonus-point day against Derry City away, while also elevating his floor beyond mere appearance points. Model confidence is medium, so expect some variance, but his locked-in minutes make him a dependable defensive starter with clear upside.

What makes Raul Kumar rosterable this week is reliability. He is a regular in the Starting XI, logging 90 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 driven by secure playing time and steady defensive involvement. The Sorare Edge projection sits at 79.5 points with model confidence at medium, implying a solid ceiling for someone who should offer clean-sheet potential at home against NK Lokomotiva Zagreb, though a team form index of 46.67 tempers upside. Start him if you prize dependable minutes and defensive stability; expect modest variance rather than boom-or-bust production.

Maglica's biggest asset is reliability; he's a fixture of NK Varaždin's Starting XI, averaging 90 minutes per game and posting five appearances in the last 5 game weeks, so his floor is a full-match defensive baseline. He also offers useful attacking upside for a defender, averaging 0.20 assists per match while his team form index sits at 66.67, which pushes his ceiling beyond pure clean-sheet value. The Sorare Edge projection of 78.1 points with model confidence MEDIUM makes him an attractive, minutes-first option for the trip to FK Jablonec away, though 12 appearances in the last 15 game weeks keep a small rotation risk on the radar.

⚡ Forwards
