Oscar Maritu

If you want a single decisive reason to start him, it is minutes and involvement: Maritu has started every match and is logging 90 minutes a game while producing 14 goals and six assists in 20 appearances, and he has five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and 15 appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so his floor is bolstered by role security. Chengdu have conceded 20 goals this season, and Yunnan’s chief creator Alexandru Ionita (10 assists) has been feeding Maritu regularly, which explains a high-xG profile and why the striker offers a genuine ceiling rather than just matchup hope. This one is at Yuxi Plateau where Yunnan tend to be more aggressive, and the Sorare Edge projection (85.5, model confidence medium) lines up with the matchup; expect a high ceiling pick with a solid floor so long as he remains in the Starting XI, but keep a plug-and-play mindset if Chengdu clamps down on service.
