Sorare Football Picks for GW97 Aug 4-7: Primera A

Tesillo is a dependable clean-sheet option for Nacional and especially appealing against a Jaguares side that has been brittle at the back, surrendering 33 goals in 19 Primera A matches, with this fixture set for Montería. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and eleven appearances in the last 15 game weeks, is a regular starter who averages 90 minutes per game, and has helped Nacional record six clean sheets in 17 league appearances, so his place in the Starting XI and his minutes projection are solid. Sorare Edge rates him 82.9 points with model confidence medium, which fits the profile: high floor via full matches and shutout probability, modest ceiling from occasional defensive bonus plays, and a lower variance pick compared with attack-minded options.

Sambueza's clearest edge is the matchup at home. Cúcuta have conceded 1.84 goals per game this season while Bucaramanga have been stingy at home, allowing roughly 0.67 goals per match, so the stage is set for his forward-thinking role to pay off. He has been Bucaramanga's attacking hub, with five goals and three assists in 16 league appearances, 35 shots and 5.79 non-penalty xG that show real scoring volume rather than empty box presence. He is a confirmed Starter who routinely plays near 90 minutes, and with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and ten appearances in the last 15 game weeks plus a Sorare Edge projection of 80.7 (model confidence medium), you get a high ceiling and a dependable floor, although a team form index of 33.33 suggests some match-to-match volatility you should price into lineups.

Lozano's biggest fantasy selling point is availability: he has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, and he is a regular in Águilas Doradas' Starting XI who plays the full 90 most weeks, which gives you a dependable defensive floor for the trip to Deportivo Pasto. That steady slate comes with a little upside too; he has two goals this season and his recent scoring rate (0.20 goals per match over the last five) means there is a modest chance of a goal bonus, while Pasto concede roughly 1.3 to 1.4 goals per game. So clean-sheet points are possible but far from certain. Sorare Edge's 82.5 projection with medium confidence matches the profile: start him when you want locked minutes and a solid floor, but treat his ceiling as occasional attacking returns rather than weekly explosive upside.

He is essentially a full-90 striker right now, a STARTER who has been starting and finishing games for Deportivo Cali and turning that volume into seven to eight goals this season while his underlying numbers sit around 8.7 expected goals, so you get a reliably high floor from minutes and finishing volume. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 12 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, and over his last five matches he is averaging 0.40 goals and 0.20 assists, which matters for the trip to Estadio Atanasio Girardot because Independiente Medellín concede roughly 1.3 goals per game and the head to head between these sides often produces both teams on the scoresheet, so the matchup raises his ceiling. Sorare Edge pegs him at 78.7 with medium model confidence, which matches the profile: a high-floor Starting XI option who delivers steady scoring chances and a real, but not explosive, upside if Medellín’s defense gives him room.

Campuzano's biggest selling point is reliability: he's a starter who has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 13 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, totaling 1,484 minutes across 20 matches and even netting a semi‑final goal on May 23. Nacional face Jaguares de Córdoba away, and Jaguares have been vulnerable defensively with a low clean‑sheet rate and a tendency to concede, while Nacional get service from chance creators such as Juan Rengifo, so Campuzano's role as the midfield anchor gives him real floor value for minutes and defensive actions. For fantasy purposes treat him as a high‑floor, medium‑ceiling start: his regular minutes and a modest goal/assist contribution make him a safe roster plug, and the Sorare Edge projection of 80.5 points with model confidence MEDIUM supports that tempered expectation.

The most useful fact here is availability: Bucaramanga signed Fiermarín to be their number one, so he should be in the Starting XI and give you a very steady minutes floor rather than a rotation gamble. He's got real clean sheet upside at home against Corporación Nuevo Cúcuta Deportivo, with the fixture scheduled at Atlético Bucaramanga on August 3 and Bucaramanga conceding just six goals in nine home matches this season, which materially boosts his ceiling. Using the data you supplied (90 minutes per game, REGULAR, five appearances in the last five game weeks, 15 in the last 15, Sorare Edge 77.2 with low model confidence) treat him as a medium-risk but high-floor fantasy pick: dependable starter minutes give a safe baseline, the home defensive form offers upside via clean sheets, but the low model confidence means you should temper expectations and avoid banking on a big, volatile payoff.

If you want a dependable minutes and save-volume floor, Wallens is your man: he is the team starter and has logged five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 13 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so he is entrenched in Alianza Petrolera's Starting XI. He arrives with four clean sheets and 49 saves this season, numbers that translate into a steady fantasy floor whenever Alianza can limit clear chances. The match is at home against a Tolima side that averages under one conceded per match but still gives up chances, so Wallens carries reasonable upside from saves while offering a safer floor than most rotation risks; treat him as a medium-confidence start rather than a high-upside play.

Availability is Gallese's clearest fantasy hook this week: he's the unquestioned starter for Deportivo Cali, logging 90 minutes per game with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and thirteen appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so managers buying minutes and a steady floor can feel comfortable. He also brings measurable upside through clean sheets and saves, having kept multiple shutouts this campaign and posting a roughly 74 percent save rate that underpins his ceiling on points. The trip to Independiente Medellín at Estadio Atanasio Girardot on August 1, 2026 is a sterner test, but with a Sorare Edge projection of 75.4 points and model confidence medium plus a team form index of 53.33, Gallese is a pragmatic start for those who prize secure minutes and clean-sheet probability over boom-or-bust upside.

Abadía's biggest selling point is availability and volume. He is STARTER for Corporación Nuevo Cúcuta Deportivo, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 10 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so you get steady minutes and a reliable floor from saves and, occasionally, a clean sheet. He heads to face CA Bucaramanga on Aug 4, 2026, and match logs show him starting regularly for Cúcuta while Bucaramanga has been conceding roughly a goal a game this season, which should mean a steady stream of on-target shots for Abadía to rack up fantasy saves. Pair that on-field evidence with the Sorare Edge projection (71.8 points) and a MEDIUM model confidence, and you have a keeper with clear upside if he piles up saves; Cúcuta's low team form index (26.67) keeps his clean-sheet ceiling capped, so treat him as a safe floor play with a plausible, but not certain, spike in scoring.

Silveira returns to Junior's Starting XI at the Romelio Martínez after a one-match suspension, which immediately ups his clean-sheet ceiling given Junior's home setting and the fact Millonarios failed to score in their season opener 0-1 loss to Bucaramanga. He is a REGULAR, averaging 72 minutes per game with four appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 11 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, and the underlying numbers back a reliable floor: he has recorded five clean sheets and a roughly 72% save rate across the league this season, so expect steady shot-stopping and a decent probability of a shutout at home. On Sorare his projection sits at 67.7 with low model confidence, which matches the profile here. Safe enough to start when Junior are at home and the opponent looked blunt, but the upside is capped if Junior's team form (26.67) keeps them leaking chances.

Tesillo is a dependable clean-sheet option for Nacional and especially appealing against a Jaguares side that has been brittle at the back, surrendering 33 goals in 19 Primera A matches, with this fixture set for Montería. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and eleven appearances in the last 15 game weeks, is a regular starter who averages 90 minutes per game, and has helped Nacional record six clean sheets in 17 league appearances, so his place in the Starting XI and his minutes projection are solid. Sorare Edge rates him 82.9 points with model confidence medium, which fits the profile: high floor via full matches and shutout probability, modest ceiling from occasional defensive bonus plays, and a lower variance pick compared with attack-minded options.

Lozano's biggest fantasy selling point is availability: he has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, and he is a regular in Águilas Doradas' Starting XI who plays the full 90 most weeks, which gives you a dependable defensive floor for the trip to Deportivo Pasto. That steady slate comes with a little upside too; he has two goals this season and his recent scoring rate (0.20 goals per match over the last five) means there is a modest chance of a goal bonus, while Pasto concede roughly 1.3 to 1.4 goals per game. So clean-sheet points are possible but far from certain. Sorare Edge's 82.5 projection with medium confidence matches the profile: start him when you want locked minutes and a solid floor, but treat his ceiling as occasional attacking returns rather than weekly explosive upside.

If you want reliability at right back, Román is hard to beat: he is a STARTER who averages about 86 minutes per game, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his minutes are secure and he’s almost certain to be in the Starting XI. That steady workload matters because Nacional have been defensively strong this season, conceding only 0.84 goals per match while carrying excellent form, and Jaguares have routinely struggled against Nacional historically, which raises Román’s clean-sheet ceiling even away from home. He also brings a sliver of attacking upside, scoring at a 0.20 rate over his last five matches, and his Sorare Edge projection (80.6 pts, model confidence medium) supports treating him as a low-risk starter with a modest ceiling. Expect dependable defensive points and the occasional goal rather than boom-or-bust returns.

Meza is about as dependable as a defensive play gets for Llaneros, a STARTER who has played five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks while regularly featuring in the club's Starting XI, which gives him a high floor in any format. Fortaleza CEIF arrive as a beatable attacking unit this season, which lifts Meza's clean sheet probability at home and creates occasional ceiling upside on shutout points. With a Sorare Edge projection of 78.2 and model confidence labeled medium, treat him as a safe-floor start with a realistic chance of outscoring that floor if Llaneros controls the match.

Haydar's clearest asset this week is minutes security; he's a regular Starter for Nacional and has been relied on in recent matches, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and ten appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which pushes his floor well above typical rotation defenders. Nacional travel to Estadio Jaraguay to face Jaguares de Córdoba, a matchup where Nacional's head to head dominance and Jaguares' blunt attack tilt the clean-sheet probability in Haydar's favor. He also carries a bit of upside from the offensive end. 0.20 assists per match in his last five. And a Sorare Edge projection of 78.2 points with medium model confidence, so treat him as a safe starter with modest upside rather than a boom-only play.

Sambueza's clearest edge is the matchup at home. Cúcuta have conceded 1.84 goals per game this season while Bucaramanga have been stingy at home, allowing roughly 0.67 goals per match, so the stage is set for his forward-thinking role to pay off. He has been Bucaramanga's attacking hub, with five goals and three assists in 16 league appearances, 35 shots and 5.79 non-penalty xG that show real scoring volume rather than empty box presence. He is a confirmed Starter who routinely plays near 90 minutes, and with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and ten appearances in the last 15 game weeks plus a Sorare Edge projection of 80.7 (model confidence medium), you get a high ceiling and a dependable floor, although a team form index of 33.33 suggests some match-to-match volatility you should price into lineups.

Campuzano's biggest selling point is reliability: he's a starter who has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 13 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, totaling 1,484 minutes across 20 matches and even netting a semi‑final goal on May 23. Nacional face Jaguares de Córdoba away, and Jaguares have been vulnerable defensively with a low clean‑sheet rate and a tendency to concede, while Nacional get service from chance creators such as Juan Rengifo, so Campuzano's role as the midfield anchor gives him real floor value for minutes and defensive actions. For fantasy purposes treat him as a high‑floor, medium‑ceiling start: his regular minutes and a modest goal/assist contribution make him a safe roster plug, and the Sorare Edge projection of 80.5 points with model confidence MEDIUM supports that tempered expectation.

Parra draws a tasty matchup at Jaguares, who have shipped 33 goals (1.74 per game) and arrive with a porous away record, so his chance volume and creative role point to a higher ceiling than usual. He is a near-everyweek starter for Nacional, averaging about 80 minutes and registering five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, and his 2026 output backs that up: 3 goals, 6 assists, 41 shots, 2.60 xG and 2.54 xA across roughly 1,556 minutes while creating 35 chances. With Juan Rengifo and Andrés Sarmiento among Nacional's primary chance creators, Parra offers a dependable floor from consistent minutes and a real assist upside in this fixture, and Sorare Edge pegs him at 77.7 points with model confidence medium, so think of him as a strong starter with a probability of a multi-category haul rather than a sure-fire top scorer.

Quick correction before the take. Although your sheet lists José Ortiz as a midfielder, club sources and major databases identify him as a central defender, and his recent minutes and goal output make him more interesting as a clean sheet plus set piece threat than as a creative midfielder. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 13 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, you list him as REGULAR, and your data shows he averages 90 minutes per game, so the floor is a full-match defensive starter at home. Playing at Estadio Américo Montanini against a Cúcuta side that has been leaky this campaign, he carries upside from corners and occasional goals on top of steady shutout probability. Sorare Edge pegs him at 77.4 points but model confidence is LOW, so treat him as a safe defensive start with a modest ceiling boost when set pieces are on; he is more of a solidity play than a boom-or-bust fantasy attacker.

The clearest edge with Vásquez is his availability and workload, he has started every league match and logged essentially full games this season, which gives him a reliable floor for the Starting XI. He backs that durability with attacking output too, registering two goals, an assist and about 2.03 xG/2.69 xA on the campaign, so a home date with Jaguares, a side conceding roughly 1.7 to 1.8 goals per match, raises his ceiling for secondary attacking returns. The market projection of 76.6 points and the model's medium confidence lines him up as a sensible starter rather than a pure upside punt, especially while teammates such as Kevin Parra are doing the creative work that feeds his chances.

The matchup is the biggest reason to start him: Jaguares concede 1.75 goals per game, and Morelos has 11 goals in 23 appearances this season while generating roughly 0.65 expected goals per 90, so he should see the chances to convert away at Córdoba. He is a regular in Nacional's Starting XI, listed as a starter and averaging heavy minutes, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and fourteen appearances in the last 15 game weeks, which gives a dependable floor because he finishes most matches. Combine that workload with Nacional's positive team form and a Sorare Edge projection of 79.1 (model confidence medium) and you get a high ceiling here; expectation should be framed as probability, not guarantee, but this is one of Nacional's clearest single-game scoring assets.

He is essentially a full-90 striker right now, a STARTER who has been starting and finishing games for Deportivo Cali and turning that volume into seven to eight goals this season while his underlying numbers sit around 8.7 expected goals, so you get a reliably high floor from minutes and finishing volume. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 12 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, and over his last five matches he is averaging 0.40 goals and 0.20 assists, which matters for the trip to Estadio Atanasio Girardot because Independiente Medellín concede roughly 1.3 goals per game and the head to head between these sides often produces both teams on the scoresheet, so the matchup raises his ceiling. Sorare Edge pegs him at 78.7 with medium model confidence, which matches the profile: a high-floor Starting XI option who delivers steady scoring chances and a real, but not explosive, upside if Medellín’s defense gives him room.

The clearest reason to start Rengifo is the matchup: Jaguares have been porous away, conceding roughly 2.3 goals per road game, and Nacional arrive in form, so a forward who actually starts and plays big minutes should see real chances. He is a regular in the Starting XI who averages about 77 minutes per game, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, and the numbers back the role up. Seven goals, six assists and roughly 8.0 expected goals this season, plus about 2.5 key passes per match. Giving him a high floor and a clear ceiling if he gets on the end of service. Sorare Edge projects 77.5 points with medium confidence, so treat him as a strong-start option with upside; the main risk is routine rotation or one of those days where Jaguares frustrate chances, but probability favors at least one attacking return.

Vásquez’s clearest edge is availability and minutes. He’s a confirmed STARTER who’s played in five appearances in the last five game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15, averaging roughly 85 to 87 minutes which gives a reliable floor for fantasy lineups. That playing time has translated into real finishing potential this season. Five goals and about 4.95 expected goals, roughly 0.31 goals per 90. So his ceiling is an honest goalscorer rather than a pure volume flier. Fortaleza CEIF concedes around 1.3 goals per match and sees both teams score frequently, which increases the probability Vásquez finds chances at home. With Llaneros hosting Fortaleza at Estadio Manuel Calle Lombana, the provided Sorare Edge projection of 76.5 points and medium model confidence makes him a strong starting option in formats that reward steady minutes and finishing upside, while his floor is capped by Llaneros’ low team form (33.33), so expect a reasonable ceiling but a nontrivial bust risk.

Ospina is a reliable starter who brings upside because he is playing heavy minutes and staying in the Starting XI, and he has been directly involved in chances this season with 2 goals, 3 assists and about 2.03 expected goals from 28 shots, so he profiles as a ceiling play if Llaneros gets service. He should see that service at home against Fortaleza CEIF, with Jhon Vásquez and others leading Llaneros in chances created, and Fortaleza have been vulnerable defensively this year, conceding roughly 1.3 to 1.4 goals per match, which raises Ospina's probability of a return; treat him as a medium-confidence start with a solid floor from regular minutes and a real ceiling if he finds space in the box. For fantasy lineups he is a higher-upside plug than a lock, the Sorare Edge projection of 75 points and the medium model confidence line up with that read, so start him when you want upside and stable minutes.
