Arriving from Empoli for €9 million plus €1 million in bonuses, the 2003-born player aims to build on his impressive performances last season. Let’s take a look at his statistics in the main competitions.

Arriving from Empoli for €9 million plus bonuses, Jacopo Fazzini is a new player for Fiorentina. Born in 2003, he was one of the best players at Empoli last season (despite suffering several injuries), and the bar has now been raised for Fazzini. Waiting for him on the bench is coach Pioli, who is no stranger to working with talented young players. Listed as a midfielder, he is valued at 25 credits in the Sports-Prediction Fantasy League. Is he a player to bet on in fantasy football? Let’s find out.

and worth picking up in fantasy football?—  Last season, Fazzini scored five goals (four goals and one assist) in 20 appearances. This is not to be taken for granted, considering his role and age. Furthermore, it should be noted that Empoli scored only 33 goals in the last championship. In Florence, competition in midfield will be tougher: Pioli has players such as Mandragora and Fagioli at his disposal. However, given the Viola’s commitments in the Conference League, it cannot be ruled out that Fazzini could find regular playing time. If not as a starter, then at least coming off the bench. An unknown factor for fantasy football managers is injuries: last season, the 2003-born player struggled with various physical problems, which forced him to miss over 20 games. Betting on him in fantasy football, therefore, could be risky. Without a doubt, it is best to avoid breaking the bank. However, picking him up on the cheap, perhaps after already securing a Viola starter, could prove to be a shrewd move. One to keep an eye on during preseason.
