Sorare Football Picks for GW97 Aug 4-7: K League

Jeong is red hot right now, averaging a goal per match across his five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and logging full matches for FC Seoul, so his scoring form and stamina make him a real short-term ceiling play. This road date at Gimcheon Stadium should help his upside, Gimcheon Sangmu have been porous at the back and went a long spell without a clean sheet, so Jeong should get chances to shoot and create. He is in the Starting XI and listed as a STARTER, with fifteen appearances in the last 15 game weeks and dependable 90-minute showings, which gives him a solid floor for fantasy lineups; Sorare Edge’s 82.9 projection with medium confidence backs the high-upside play, but treat him as a positive-probability gamble rather than a lock.

Hot streak alert. Matheus Oliveira has averaged 0.60 goals and 0.40 assists over the last five matches while logging near-full games as a regular Starter, which pushes him toward a high ceiling for an attacking midfielder against Ulsan this weekend. He is a regular member of the Starting XI, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 13 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, and his underlying numbers from league data show above-average chance quality for a midfielder, so his recent scoring run looks sustainable rather than fluky. Ulsan concede about 1.45 goals per match and produce a high both-teams-score rate, which increases Oliveira’s upside away from home, but treat him as a medium-confidence play: Sorare Edge projects 83.4 points, so expect a strong floor thanks to guaranteed minutes and a real ceiling when he keeps getting the chances.

Kim Dae-Won is playing like Gangwon's primary chance generator and minutes-eater, averaging roughly 86 minutes and logging 1,737 minutes this season while leading the attack with seven goals and five assists, 61 chances created and 10 big chances, backed by 3.93 xG and 6.64 xA. He is listed as a STARTER and has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his floor is set by steady time in the Starting XI; the fixture is away at Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium, where Ulsan Hyundai concede about 1.45 goals per match and have just three clean sheets this season, which lifts Kim's upside because volume usually converts against this defense. Treat him as a high-floor, high-upside start: the Sorare Edge projection is 78.8 points with model confidence MEDIUM, so expect consistent involvement and a real chance of a goal or an assist, while remembering Gangwon's overall form index (41.67) still caps how often those chances will be finished.

Wanderson's recent attacking burst is the clearest reason to start him: he has two goals and two assists this season and his last-five output checks as roughly 0.4 goals and 0.4 assists per match, so the ceiling on returns from the left flank is real. He is a regular in Pohang's Starting XI and has appeared in five appearances in the last 5 game weeks, so his minutes provide a reliable floor, and he meets Ulsan at the Pohang Steel Yard on August 8. Ulsan concede about 1.45 goals per match and see both teams score in roughly 70 percent of fixtures, which boosts Wanderson's odds of chipping in. Treat him as a medium-confidence start: the Sorare Edge projection is 76.0 with model confidence MEDIUM, so use him when you need attacking upside from a defender, but expect some variance given Pohang's uneven team form.

Lee You-Hyeon is as safe a minutes play as Gangwon have, averaging 89 minutes per game and a regular in the Starting XI with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his floor is high for fantasy lineups. He also brings real attacking involvement for a midfielder. 29 shots, 10 chances created and about 1.23 xG this season. Which matters because Ulsan have been vulnerable defensively, conceding 20 goals in 15 matches; that combination gives him a genuine ceiling for a goal or assist if the game opens up. The Sorare Edge projection of 78.1 points and medium model confidence fits his profile, so treat him as a high-floor, medium-ceiling starter who rewards rostering in most formats rather than a risky boom-or-bust pick.

Kim is firmly embedded in Anyang's Starting XI and has been ever-present lately, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks; FotMob lists him at about 1,530 minutes this season with an average rating near 7.13, which gives him a strong floor as a minutes-based fantasy option. The fixture is Aug 2, 2026 away at Ulsan Munsu Stadium, and Ulsan concede roughly 1.45 goals per match while registering just three clean sheets in 20 league games, so Kim carries upside from expected save volume even as a full clean sheet looks dicey. Paired with the Sorare Edge projection of 78.5 points and medium model confidence, he is a sensible start for managers who prize guaranteed 90 minutes and save upside; treat clean-sheet returns as attainable but not certain, and lean on him more for steady floor than for an explosive ceiling.

He is the Starting XI goalkeeper and, crucially for fantasy managers, gives you a near-guarantee of minutes with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, routinely playing the full 90. That reliability pairs well with the matchup: Gwangju have managed only 0.55 goals per match and have failed to score in 60 percent of their games this season, which raises Lee's clean-sheet probability while also leaving room for a strong saves total if the match opens up. Sorare Edge puts him at 78.0 with medium confidence, so view him as a safe floor play for minutes and clean-sheet upside, with a respectable ceiling if Daejeon can keep the game tight at home.

Kim is the steady, minutes-eating option you want between the posts: he has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, totaling 1,350 minutes this season while racking up five clean sheets, so his floor is anchored by a nailed-on Starting XI role and regular shutout upside. The matchup helps too, Incheon concede about 1.05 goals per league game and have kept clean sheets in roughly 30 percent of their matches, so at home in Jeju World Cup Stadium Kim carries a realistic probability of another clean sheet rather than being purely a save-surge play. Sorare Edge pegs him at 77.0 points with medium confidence, which fits the profile here: high floor from secure starts and a moderate ceiling that depends on Jeju tightening up defensively around him rather than a flurry of spectacular shot-stopping.

Gu Sung-yun is as close to a nailed-on fantasy floor as you can ask for at goalkeeper, coming into this trip with 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, a full 90 minutes per match and eight clean sheets already this season for FC Seoul, so availability and shutout upside are both real. Gimcheon Sangmu have been patchy at home, conceding around 1.6 goals per game and without a clean sheet in their last ten matches, which keeps Gu's ceiling moderate but preserves a solid probability of a clean sheet if Seoul defend compactly. Pair that dependable minutes profile with the Sorare Edge projection of 76.7 and medium model confidence, and you have a safe start who offers a steady floor with occasional upside from shutouts, while your only real risk is a high-traffic game if Sangmu click in attack.

What makes Park attractive this week is his run of results between the sticks: eight clean sheets in 15 appearances this season, so he brings a legitimately high floor because his minutes are locked down. 90 minutes per game and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks show he is the Gangwon starter in the Starting XI. The opponent is no soft touch, Ulsan averages about 1.5 goals scored per match this campaign, so there will be chances to make saves, but they also concede regularly which preserves Park's clean-sheet upside if Gangwon can keep the game compact. Sorare Edge gives him a 76.3 projection with medium confidence, which lines up with him being a safe start with a capped ceiling; expect a steady baseline of points from starts and clean-sheet equity, while big upside depends on whether he racks saves in what could be an open away game at Ulsan Munsu Stadium.

Kwon Kyung-won has turned into a genuine set piece weapon for FC Anyang, scoring a headed winner from a Mateus delivery on July 12 and earning the 17th-round MVP nod for that match. He is listed as a STARTER and averaging 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 a full 90 and steady defensive counting stats, while the ceiling comes from his occasional threat on corners and free kicks. This weekend he goes to Ulsan Munsu where Ulsan have been leakier than their reputation suggests, conceding around 29 through 20 matches, which boosts Kwon's upside for a goal or attacking return, and Sorare Edge projects 79.8 points with medium model confidence, making him a high-floor starter with a realistic scoring ceiling rather than a boom-or-bust punt.

Gwangju's defense has been shockingly porous this season, conceding about 2.2 goals per match, which creates real clean-sheet upside and attacking windows for Daejeon's full-backs when matches open up at the Daejeon World Cup Stadium. Lee Myung-Jae has been a fixture in Daejeon's Starting XI, averaging 90 minutes and showing durability with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 12 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his floor is a full 90 that lets you bank steady points while chasing upside; he also brings a modest attacking spark, posting 0.20 assists per match across his last five. With a Sorare Edge projection of 79.2 and medium model confidence, treat him as a high-floor starter with a workable ceiling against a blunt Gwangju back line, but factor in Daejeon's inconsistent form when sizing your risk.

The most useful thing about Patrick William for fantasy is his minutes security, he has been a regular in Bucheon FC 1995's Starting XI and has completed recent matches, so you get a steady floor from full-game involvement. That matters because Bucheon host Gwangju, a side that has been leaking goals this season and boosts the ceiling of defenders who see the box, and Patrick brings a little attacking upside too, averaging 0.20 assists per match over the last five and showing chance creation on the season. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and nine appearances in the last 15 game weeks, Sorare Edge projects 77.5 points with medium confidence, so treat him as a reliable minutes play with a reasonable ceiling if Bucheon break through Gwangju's porous defence.

If you want a defender who actually plays, Kim Jin-Su is as close to a locked-in option as you’ll get for FC Seoul, consistently finishing matches and holding a regular spot in the Starting XI which gives him a high floor for fantasy. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, and he brings real attacking value for a fullback with two assists and 11 chances created on the season, including an assist in Seoul’s 3-2 meeting with Gimcheon on May 1. The trip away to Gimcheon limits pure clean-sheet upside, so treat him as a safe minutes play whose ceiling comes from crosses and chance creation rather than shutouts; Sorare Edge’s 76.9 projection with medium confidence reflects that risk-reward profile.

Ha Chang-Rae is a genuine set-piece weapon who has also been earning heavy minutes for Daejeon, logging 297 minutes across four league starts and already converting a corner header this season, which makes him a dependable source of both baseline points and the occasional attacking pop. Gwangju’s defense has been porous all season, conceding roughly 2.2 goals per match, so Ha’s high aerial win rate and headed goal threat materially raise his ceiling at home; if Daejeon can force corners and limit opponent chances he becomes a clear upside play. Still, Daejeon’s form has been inconsistent, which caps his floor despite his place in the Starting XI. Treat him as a safe starter who offers moderate upside rather than a high-variance punt.

Hot streak alert. Matheus Oliveira has averaged 0.60 goals and 0.40 assists over the last five matches while logging near-full games as a regular Starter, which pushes him toward a high ceiling for an attacking midfielder against Ulsan this weekend. He is a regular member of the Starting XI, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 13 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, and his underlying numbers from league data show above-average chance quality for a midfielder, so his recent scoring run looks sustainable rather than fluky. Ulsan concede about 1.45 goals per match and produce a high both-teams-score rate, which increases Oliveira’s upside away from home, but treat him as a medium-confidence play: Sorare Edge projects 83.4 points, so expect a strong floor thanks to guaranteed minutes and a real ceiling when he keeps getting the chances.

Jeong is red hot right now, averaging a goal per match across his five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and logging full matches for FC Seoul, so his scoring form and stamina make him a real short-term ceiling play. This road date at Gimcheon Stadium should help his upside, Gimcheon Sangmu have been porous at the back and went a long spell without a clean sheet, so Jeong should get chances to shoot and create. He is in the Starting XI and listed as a STARTER, with fifteen appearances in the last 15 game weeks and dependable 90-minute showings, which gives him a solid floor for fantasy lineups; Sorare Edge’s 82.9 projection with medium confidence backs the high-upside play, but treat him as a positive-probability gamble rather than a lock.

Start him for the minutes and role rather than flash. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, and he is one of Daejeon’s most trusted central midfielders who logs heavy minutes and regular starts. Kim mixes defensive grit with chance creation, ranking among the team leaders for tackles, recoveries and chances created (13), so his floor is a steady box-to-box return driven by volume, while the ceiling rises against Gwangju, who concede roughly 2.25 goals per match this season. Expect a tidy probability of a positive fantasy return via an assist or secondary stat line rather than an explosive scoring outburst. Sorare Edge projects 78.5 points with medium confidence, which fits him as a safe, minutes-based start with clear upside from set or chance-creation involvement; pick him when you want reliability and matchup-driven assist potential, but accept a capped scoring ceiling.

Lee You-Hyeon is as safe a minutes play as Gangwon have, averaging 89 minutes per game and a regular in the Starting XI with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his floor is high for fantasy lineups. He also brings real attacking involvement for a midfielder. 29 shots, 10 chances created and about 1.23 xG this season. Which matters because Ulsan have been vulnerable defensively, conceding 20 goals in 15 matches; that combination gives him a genuine ceiling for a goal or assist if the game opens up. The Sorare Edge projection of 78.1 points and medium model confidence fits his profile, so treat him as a high-floor, medium-ceiling starter who rewards rostering in most formats rather than a risky boom-or-bust pick.

If you want reliability at midfield, Ros is it. He has been a fixture in FC Seoul's Starting XI, logging the full 90 and making 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. He also brings a useful ceiling because he profiles as a ball-playing defensive anchor who can score from set pieces, FotMob credits him with two goals, a 90.5 percent pass success rate and strong aerial numbers this season, and Gimcheon Sangmu concede roughly 1.4 goals per match, so Ros has both clean-sheet upside and the occasional attacking return. That role is exactly what FC Seoul signed him for, a La Masia‑bred defender who improves build-up and positioning, so Sorare's Edge projection of 76.8 with medium confidence makes sense; treat him as a safe-play starter with a decent ceiling if Seoul can keep it tight.

Kim Dae-Won is playing like Gangwon's primary chance generator and minutes-eater, averaging roughly 86 minutes and logging 1,737 minutes this season while leading the attack with seven goals and five assists, 61 chances created and 10 big chances, backed by 3.93 xG and 6.64 xA. He is listed as a STARTER and has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his floor is set by steady time in the Starting XI; the fixture is away at Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium, where Ulsan Hyundai concede about 1.45 goals per match and have just three clean sheets this season, which lifts Kim's upside because volume usually converts against this defense. Treat him as a high-floor, high-upside start: the Sorare Edge projection is 78.8 points with model confidence MEDIUM, so expect consistent involvement and a real chance of a goal or an assist, while remembering Gangwon's overall form index (41.67) still caps how often those chances will be finished.

Iredale's clearest asset is minutes and Starting XI certainty, he's started Gwangju's league matches and logged 270 minutes across three starts this season, so you get a sturdy floor from guaranteed full games. He has already chipped in with a goal and an assist, and that involvement matters because Gwangju head to Daejeon, a side that has conceded roughly 20 goals in 19 matches this campaign, so there is a realistic chance for service and shots to fall his way; the Sorare Edge projection of 76.4 points and medium model confidence point to upside if he keeps getting the minutes. Your data shows four appearances in the last 5 game weeks and four appearances in the last 15 game weeks, and with a steady 90 minutes per game he presents a safe starting-floor, though his ceiling depends on whether Gwangju can create consistent chances against Daejeon's defense.

Gwangju have been shockingly porous this season, conceding roughly 2.25 goals per match, so Seo Jin-Su should see more penalty-area service and clean chances playing at home. He’s been trusted in Daejeon’s Starting XI and is playing heavy minutes, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 12 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so the opportunity for counting stats is genuine. Seo’s numbers back that up. Three goals, three assists and about 2.96 xG on the season suggest a real ceiling against a soft backline, while Daejeon’s uneven form keeps his floor capped; treat him as a high upside starter (Sorare Edge 75.0, model confidence medium) rather than a guaranteed scorer.

Jeju moved quickly to sign Eraldo Çinari on July 21, and he’s already listed in the Starting XI for the upcoming home match at Jeju World Cup Stadium, so this is a plug-and-play addition rather than a long-term project. He arrives with genuine end-product: 16 goals and 10 assists in 43 appearances for FC Noah and a subsequent 7 goals and 5 assists in 35 matches at Al Jabalain, so his ceiling is a real goal-and-creation threat when fed. Incheon concede roughly 1.05 goals per game this season, which gives Çinari a realistic shot volume chance, but remember he has 0 appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 0 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so treat his floor as capped until he shows match sharpness; Sorare Edge’s 74.2 projection with medium confidence makes him a high-upside starter you can start when you want upside, not when you need reliability.

Pohang have handed him consistent minutes and he is a STARTER who has made five appearances in the last 5 game weeks, so Tranziska offers a clear minutes floor and a scoring ceiling against Ulsan at the Pohang Steel Yard on August 8. He has been getting chances. FotMob lists him among Pohang’s leaders for big chances created and credits him with strong underlying finishing (roughly 3.0 xG this season). And Ulsan’s defense concedes about 1.45 goals per match, which raises his upside as a central outlet. Blend that with your projection of 74.1 points and medium model confidence and you get a sensible play: his floor is attractive because he plays near 78 minutes per game, but his ceiling depends on whether Pohang can consistently feed him good service; start him if you need a goal-hunting forward and are comfortable with some volatility.
