Samuel Chukwueze | NIGERIA | MID | 6.1M | Owned by 5%
He is only owned by 5% and kindly priced at 6.1m. He started the last match vs South Africa and score a crucial a goal for Nigeria. He also registered 11 ball recoveries (2 extra fantasy points), more than any other teammate in this match. At this price he is worth a punt!

Islam Slimani | ALGERIA | ATT | 7.7M | Owned by 7%
After two games with several big chances missed by his fellow striker Bounedjah, an exhausting extra-time with penalties, and only 72 hours between both games, maybe it’s time for Belmadi to refresh his team. Slimani can be the one who profits. Like in the last game in the group phase, with 1 goal and 2 assists.
Gonçalo Mira

Henri Saivet | SENEGAL | MID | 6.0M | Owned by 1%
The man on set piece duty can be fundamental in Senegal’s semi-final against Tunisia. Senegal have a physical advantage and the Tunisian keeper has shown some indecisiveness. This can lead to set-piece assists from Saivet, and he can only try some direct free-kick goals.
José Miranda
Follow José on Twitter.
Moses Simon | Owned by 0%
Ighalo has been on and off, Iwobi has lacked the influence we were expecting and Musa has been a disappointment. Even if a major punt, given that Nigeria plays in the second game, Moses Simon has provided the spark that has lifted the Super Eagles’ game from “meh” to “okay”. Big risk, big reward.
André Baptista
Follow André on Twitter.
Idrissa Gana Gueye | Owned by 0%
He has more freedom in the national team than in his club, allowing to come closer to the opposing goal. As a result, he scored twice already in the competition. He is the second Senegal midfielder with more points, only below Sadio Mané.

Mehdi Zeffane | ALGERIA | DEF | 5.0M | Owned by 2%
With Atal injured, Zeffane was the man who replaced him during last match. This can be his momento to shine in AFCON. With Algeria heavily relying in their full-backs offensive runs, Zeffane could get an assist.

Naïm Sliti | TUNISIA | MID | 6.9M | Owned by 6%
Tunisia is looking for a push from all their players. Sliti was rested the past two matches and will be looking fresh whether he starts next match or comes of the bench, as seen against Madagascar, when he scored after coming on as a substitute.
