Richard Schunke

Schunke has been a reliable fixture in Independiente del Valle’s back line, a STARTER who averages 72 minutes per game and has made five appearances in the last 5 game weeks and six appearances in the last 15 game weeks, so he looks nailed to the Starting XI barring late news. That regularity gives him a safe floor for fantasy lineups, and the ceiling is real this weekend at home because Deportivo Cuenca have been leakier than average. They’ve conceded 27 goals this season and have just six clean sheets. So a Valle shutout would push Schunke’s points well above baseline. The Sorare Edge projection of 76.8 with model confidence set to medium aligns with him being a dependable start who wins on minutes and team form, not a high-variance scorer; play him for steady defensive returns and a respectable upside if Independiente keep their recent run going.
