Sorare Football Picks for GW97 Aug 4-7: Primera Division de Chile

What makes Rojas a concrete starter is his availability and involvement. He is playing every minute as a regular right back, listed as a STARTER and delivering 90 minutes per game with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so you can pencil him into the Starting XI with confidence. He also brings attacking juice for a defender, with two goal involvements across his last five matches (0.40 goals per match, 0.20 assists per match), which lifts his ceiling beyond pure clean-sheet scoring when Colo-Colo dominate possession. Facing Everton, who concede roughly one goal per match and keep clean sheets only around a third of the time, that dual profile matters because it means Rojas offers both a high-floor starter and a realistic path to bonus points. Colo-Colo sit top of the table and the fixture is at Sausalito, so the team context favors shutout chances, and the Sorare Edge projection of 82.2 with medium confidence matches that view; treat Rojas as a dependable defensive start with upside if Colo-Colo convert their chances.

Vargas is as close to a lock for La Serena as you can get, logging 90 minutes on average and 5 appearances in the last 5 game weeks, and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks while holding a regular spot in the Starting XI. His availability has backed up tangible output this season. Five goals and six assists, with healthy expected-goals and chance-creation numbers that explain why he is averaging 0.80 assists per match across his last five. So he offers a reliable floor on goal contributions against O'Higgins at home. O'Higgins have been leaky enough this campaign that Vargas carries a reasonable ceiling if La Serena can control the game and feed him in the penalty area, and the Sorare Edge projection (80.9, model confidence medium) reflects that upside; treat him as a high-floor starter with a solid probability of involvement rather than a boom-or-bust dart.

Start him for reliability more than upside. He is a fixture in the Starting XI, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, logging 1,213 minutes with a goal and an assist this season, so you get a high floor from steady, near-full-match minutes. Everton concede about 1.0 goals per match at home and Colo-Colo have been creating chances; Vidal has 11 chances created on the campaign and offers set-piece and late-box value, which boosts his ceiling for this away date at Sausalito. He's projected at 81.2 by your Sorare Edge model with medium confidence, so treat him as a dependable start with a modest upside rather than a boom-or-bust gamble.

Vargas' most decisive edge right now is form and match context: he's averaging 0.80 goals per match in his last five and gets a home date with a Huachipato side that concedes plenty of chances and xG, which raises his ceiling for a multi-goal outing. He's a regular in the Starting XI and typically plays deep into games, logging roughly 73 minutes per appearance while totaling five league goals and about 4.47 xG this season, so his floor is a reliable minutes-based scoring opportunity and his upside is genuine when service comes. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 13 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, and Sorare Edge's 79.0 projection with medium confidence lines up with a straightforward decision: start Vargas for goal upside, but accept a modest rotation risk given his veteran profile.

Most decisive: Campusano is basically an ironman in Ñublense's Starting XI, deployed as a left back or defensive midfielder and logging full 90 minutes in recent matches, and he has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks. That steadiness matters for the trip to Estadio Lucio Farina Fernandez on August 1, 2026, because Club Deportes Limache

Pérez's selling point is availability and consistency. He is a STARTER who averages 90 minutes per game and has fifteen appearances in the last 15 game weeks, producing six clean sheets and 42 saves this season. He travels to Quillota to face Deportes Limache, a team that concedes plenty of chances and posts about 1.62 expected goals against per match, which raises Pérez's ceiling for a big-save performance even as it makes a shutout less certain. Five appearances in the last 5 game weeks underline that he is match-fit and nailed on, so treat him as a low-variance start who offers a reliable floor plus upside on saves; Sorare projects 82.4 points with medium model confidence, so expect steady returns rather than boom-or-bust outcomes.

If you want a goalkeeper who brings both a high floor and a real ceiling, start here: Castellón leads the Primera in clean sheets with eight reported this season and has been ever present for Universidad de Chile, logging 90 minutes per game with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks. He pairs that shutout output with a high stop rate, saving 58 of 69 shots for an around 84 percent save rate, so he not only benefits from his back line but also earns fantasy counting stats when called into action. This fixture at home against Huachipato on August 2, 2026 projects as a mixed bag since Huachipato averages about 1.56 goals conceded per match, which should give Castellón chances to rack up saves while keeping a reasonable clean-sheet probability; Sorare Edge pegs him at 79.5 points with medium confidence, so he is a sensible start if you value steady minutes and upside from both saves and shutouts.

Colo-Colo has been handing him the keys lately, and that matters: Gabriel is a Starter in the Starting XI and has logged five appearances in the last 5 game weeks, turning in full 90-minute outings and giving you a strong floor just from minutes alone. He is a big, composed presence at 1.93m and, through the season, has piled up a useful volume of stops and one clean sheet, production that pairs well with Colo-Colo’s favorable head to head against Everton and a trip to Estadio Sausalito where Everton are conceding roughly one goal per game. Treat him as a high-floor starting option whose ceiling is multiple save-heavy fantasy performances and a shutout; the numbers and a Sorare Edge projection of 78.7 points (model confidence medium) tilt probability in his favor, while the main risk is the quality of chances he might face on counterattacks.

Santander's real edge is volume and shot-stopping: he's Cobresal's Starting XI keeper and averages the full 90, posting a strong save rate in the low 70s this season, which should translate into fantasy upside against Unión La Calera, a side that concedes roughly 1.87 goals per game. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and nine appearances in the last 15 game weeks, and Sorare Edge projects 77.6 points with medium confidence, so his floor is steady points from saves while his ceiling is a heavy-saves outing or the occasional clean sheet. Cobresal sit low in the table, so shutouts are not high-probability, but Santander's guaranteed minutes and high save percentage make him a sensible, medium-risk start at home when the teams meet on Aug 1.

Ever-present and practically floor-proof for fantasy managers, Pérez has 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks and is logging the full 90 each outing while posting a roughly 68.7 percent save rate and four clean sheets, numbers that underpin a solid baseline of save points at home. Coquimbo Unido concede about 1.2 goals per match and generate almost 14 shots per game, so Pérez's upside here comes from volume saves more than an ironclad shutout; expect a reliable floor and a ceiling that spikes when Coquimbo threatens repeatedly. Sorare Edge gives him a 77.0 projection with medium confidence, which aligns with treating Pérez as a safe Starting XI start whose value will be driven by save accumulation rather than guaranteed clean sheets.

What makes Rojas a concrete starter is his availability and involvement. He is playing every minute as a regular right back, listed as a STARTER and delivering 90 minutes per game with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so you can pencil him into the Starting XI with confidence. He also brings attacking juice for a defender, with two goal involvements across his last five matches (0.40 goals per match, 0.20 assists per match), which lifts his ceiling beyond pure clean-sheet scoring when Colo-Colo dominate possession. Facing Everton, who concede roughly one goal per match and keep clean sheets only around a third of the time, that dual profile matters because it means Rojas offers both a high-floor starter and a realistic path to bonus points. Colo-Colo sit top of the table and the fixture is at Sausalito, so the team context favors shutout chances, and the Sorare Edge projection of 82.2 with medium confidence matches that view; treat Rojas as a dependable defensive start with upside if Colo-Colo convert their chances.

Tiznado's most reliable asset is availability and full-game minutes; he's an established centre back in Cobresal's Starting XI and has logged five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 12 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his floor is high simply from being a near-certain 90-minute starter. The matchup at El Cobre actually nudges his ceiling higher, because Unión La Calera have been porous this season, conceding around 1.8 to 1.9 goals per game, which increases Cobresal's clean-sheet odds and also raises the value of his occasional scoring threat; he already has a goal this campaign, so there is realistic upside on set pieces or defended chaos. Using the Sorare Edge projection and your model inputs (78.4 points, medium confidence) I'd treat him as a safe starter with a moderate ceiling: play him if you want a dependable defensive score and the chance of bonus from a clean sheet or rare goal, but temper expectations because Cobresal's team form is low and that caps how often his ceiling will hit.

Rasso's main appeal is upside in a small sample, he completed a full 90 in his debut for La Serena after arriving this summer, which suggests the coach is willing to trust him with a full match when called on. La Serena host O'Higgins at La Portada on August 2, and with O'Higgins surrendering roughly 1.4 to 1.5 goals per game this season, Rasso has a clear route to positive points if he can break into the Starting XI, but treat him as a boom-or-bust option because the Sorare Edge projection is 77.2 with LOW model confidence and he remains a rotation risk with one appearances in the last 5 game weeks and one appearances in the last 15 game weeks.

What sells Yahir Salazar is his availability and heavy minutes load, he has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 12 appearances in the last 15 game weeks and averages about 87 minutes when he plays, so he is essentially a Starting XI lock for La Serena. He has been part of four clean sheets this season and ranks well in tackles and blocks, which matters because O'Higgins concede roughly 1.43 expected goals and about 1.5 goals per match, so Salazar offers a dependable defensive floor at home with a realistic ceiling if La Serena can keep the game tight. Sorare Edge pegs him at 76.5 points with medium confidence, so treat him as a low-risk defensive starter whose main upside is steady minutes and clean-sheet probability rather than attacking returns.

Valencia's clearest appeal is matchup-driven: he comes into an away date with Deportes Limache against a team that concedes at a high rate away from home, which boosts his clean-sheet probability and fantasy floor. He is a regular in Ñublense's Starting XI and has been part of a backline that has produced six clean sheets in 11 appearances this season, so pairing his minutes with Limache's porous defense gives him a realistic ceiling for a strong points night. Practical note for lineups: he has four appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 12 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, averages 72 minutes per game, and carries a modest attacking upside with 0.20 goals per match over his last five; Sorare Edge pegs him at 75.8 points with medium confidence, so treat him as a safe starter with upside rather than a boom-or-bust punt.

Most decisive: Campusano is basically an ironman in Ñublense's Starting XI, deployed as a left back or defensive midfielder and logging full 90 minutes in recent matches, and he has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks. That steadiness matters for the trip to Estadio Lucio Farina Fernandez on August 1, 2026, because Club Deportes Limache

Rivera is basically Ñublense's minutes engine, a regular in the Starting XI with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks; he averages roughly 79 minutes per outing, has taken 15 shots this season and logged over 500 passes at about an 80 percent completion rate, so his floor is steady playing time and reliable passing. Away to Club Deportes Limache, who concede about 1.53 goals per match and carry an xG-against near 1.62, this is a matchup that boosts Rivera's upside. His modest shooting frequency (about 1.16 shots per 90) gives a realistic chance of returning a goal or assist if the game opens up, while the safe play is counting on those heavy minutes; the Sorare Edge projection is 82.0 with model confidence MEDIUM, which aligns with a medium-risk, medium-reward profile.

Availability is Bosso's biggest weapon: he's a STARTER in Ñublense's Starting XI, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, routinely logging virtually full matches and anchoring the deep defensive role. That steady floor matters for this fixture, because Ñublense head to Deportes Limache where Limache are tougher to break down at home despite conceding chances overall, so Bosso's minutes and defensive actions give you dependable points while capping the upside on a shutout.

Start him for reliability more than upside. He is a fixture in the Starting XI, with five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, logging 1,213 minutes with a goal and an assist this season, so you get a high floor from steady, near-full-match minutes. Everton concede about 1.0 goals per match at home and Colo-Colo have been creating chances; Vidal has 11 chances created on the campaign and offers set-piece and late-box value, which boosts his ceiling for this away date at Sausalito. He's projected at 81.2 by your Sorare Edge model with medium confidence, so treat him as a dependable start with a modest upside rather than a boom-or-bust gamble.

Listed as a centre back for Colo-Colo, Villagra has been an ironman in the backline and is in the Starting XI, logging 980 minutes across 11 starts this season so you can bank on his minutes and role. That reliability is his fantasy hook against Everton de Viña del Mar, who concede roughly one goal per match and have a middling clean-sheet profile, so Villagra offers a high floor for clean-sheet points on the road while carrying a modest ceiling for attacking returns. He also has an assist and steady match ratings this term, which nudges his upside slightly, but treat him as a minutes-first play rather than a big-source of attacking fantasy points; the Sorare Edge projection you supplied (79.3, medium confidence) aligns with a dependable starter whose reward is stability more than explosiveness.

Vargas is as close to a lock for La Serena as you can get, logging 90 minutes on average and 5 appearances in the last 5 game weeks, and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks while holding a regular spot in the Starting XI. His availability has backed up tangible output this season. Five goals and six assists, with healthy expected-goals and chance-creation numbers that explain why he is averaging 0.80 assists per match across his last five. So he offers a reliable floor on goal contributions against O'Higgins at home. O'Higgins have been leaky enough this campaign that Vargas carries a reasonable ceiling if La Serena can control the game and feed him in the penalty area, and the Sorare Edge projection (80.9, model confidence medium) reflects that upside; treat him as a high-floor starter with a solid probability of involvement rather than a boom-or-bust dart.

Brea is essentially Cobresal's go-to forward, a regular in the Starting XI who has made 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks and five appearances in the last 5 game weeks while averaging roughly 88 minutes and producing three goals and one assist this season. This fixture at El Cobre looks workable for him because Unión La Calera have been porous at the back, conceding about 1.87 goals per match, which boosts Brea's upside for shots and returns. Sorare Edge pegs him at 79.3 points with medium confidence, so treat him as a high-floor start thanks to his heavy minutes and clear role, while remembering his ceiling will depend on whether Cobresal can supply chances consistently.

Vargas' most decisive edge right now is form and match context: he's averaging 0.80 goals per match in his last five and gets a home date with a Huachipato side that concedes plenty of chances and xG, which raises his ceiling for a multi-goal outing. He's a regular in the Starting XI and typically plays deep into games, logging roughly 73 minutes per appearance while totaling five league goals and about 4.47 xG this season, so his floor is a reliable minutes-based scoring opportunity and his upside is genuine when service comes. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 13 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, and Sorare Edge's 79.0 projection with medium confidence lines up with a straightforward decision: start Vargas for goal upside, but accept a modest rotation risk given his veteran profile.

Guerrero's best asset is volume and chance creation; he has produced 16 chances (four of them big) while averaging about 2.3 shots per 90, so he consistently gets the kinds of looks that produce assists or goals. That activity has translated to two goals and two assists in 1,032 minutes across 15 appearances this season, and with him listed as a starter and logging heavy minutes he offers a dependable floor of playing time and attacking opportunity. The matchup helps his upside. Universidad de Chile host Huachipato at Estadio Nacional on August 2, and Huachipato have been prone to conceding in recent weeks, about 1.6 goals per match, so Guerrero has a realistic chance for positive returns; Sorare Edge projects 77.0 points with medium confidence, so treat him as a strong start for minutes and chances with a solid ceiling rather than a guaranteed ceiling-busting choice.

Graciani's appeal is his steady on-field role and direct goal involvement; he has two goals and two assists this Primera División season and averages roughly 68 to 69 minutes when starting, which gives him a reliable floor and regular opportunity to collect attacking returns. He has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 14 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, and he's penciled into the Starting XI for the trip to Deportes Limache, a side that has produced a lot of open, high-scoring matches and concedes chances at a rate that favors attackers. Sorare Edge pegs him at 75.2 with medium confidence, so treat him as a dependable start with a modest ceiling that rises if Ñublense gets the game to break open and he gets into the box often.
