In the group for the title, we did not see any surprises in the first round of the extension, perhaps only the overwhelming win of Slavia against Baník was surprising. In the group for retention, they took an important first step to save Česká Budějovice, who defeated Bohemians. We saw interesting results in the play-off for the Conference League, where Teplice and Hradec scored a two-goal lead.
A surprising name from České Budějovice
Seven players from the ideal team of the round wear the colors of the “big three”, i.e. Slavia, Sparta and Pilsen. Two-goaler Jan Kuchta is not missing, having already scored five goals in the last three matches and giving the Fantasy coaches a clear signal that he must be reckoned with. Ivan Schranz got the most points from the beating of Baník, who scored a goal and two assists. This time, Plzeňský Šulec was overshadowed by goal scorers Cada and Cheick Souaré.

The ideal assembly of the 1st round of the superstructure
The ideal line-up also includes players from Pardubice, defender Marek Icha scored a great 12 points per goal and an assist, and goalkeeper Antonín Kinský completed this. Bohemians forward Jan Kovařík has once again placed himself among the best midfielders, having scored a goal or an assist in five of the last seven games and continues to be among the best Fantasy players this year in terms of price/performance ratio.
However, Budějovic defender Vincent Trummer clearly became the player of the round. The 23-year-old Austrian with a price tag of 5.2 million was among the scorers for the first time in the season, and even twice. He also added bonus points for shots on goal to the two hits and in the end it was a whopping 19 points for only 0.44% of coaches. Trummer can be an interesting cheap option for the next rounds from the South Bohemian squad alongside midfielders Jan Suchan or Alli.
The famous defense of the round coach
Defense is the best offense. This is how coach Michal Š. approached the first round of the superstructure with the FC Papadzordzo team. The line-up of the round once again benefited from the superbly played joker Beton, who, in cooperation with the great performances of the defensive foursome Douděra – Haraslín – Icha – Horák, scored a great 86 points for the coach of the round. Add to that Jindřich Staňek’s clean sheet and goal contributions from Kuchta and Daniel Filo, and FC Papadzordzo collected a fantastic 130 points. Only Lukáš Haraslín can regret him with nine points on the bench.

Coach of the 1st round of the expansion of the Fantasy League FC Papadzordzo
The top five coaches in the overall fantasy league standings did not change after the first round of expansion. Next, the Chali team leads with a relatively comfortable lead, the OscarDorleyball team jumped to second place thanks to 79 points. The fight for the TOP5 continues to be very exciting, from the fifth to the twelfth place, only 17 points separate the coaches.

Absence before the 2nd round of superstructure
Before transfers to the next game round, we must not leave out players who have card penalties. The absence of Robin Hranáč, who is one of the building blocks of Pilsen’s defense, can be crucial for many managers, which Slovácko also awaits. This will have to be done without Petr Reinberk and Milan Petržela.
Against Jablonec, Bohemce will be missing key player Jan Kovařík, but also Jan Matoušek. Liberec will again have to do without Mohamed Doumbia, of course there is a two-game suspension for striker Baník Tank, who received a red card against Slavia.
Player tips for next rounds
Marek Icha (5 mil) – FK Pardubice, defender
The last three matches and two goals scored. In the first extension even a clean account in addition and a beautiful 12 points. Fullback Marek Icha probably impressed not only us with his performance, but certainly more Fantasy coaches who are thinking about what to do with their defense and what difference player to get in their ranks. With a 5 million price tag and very low popularity across Fantasy teams, Icha could be just that hidden talisman. Pardubice will play Budějovice at home in the next round, and Icha has a chance to add another good performance.
Jakub Martinec (5.5 mil) – FK Jablonec, defender
A more expensive and somewhat more offensive option for defense. Jablonec’s defense is not the strongest this season and Bohemians will certainly test it in the next match, so it is not advisable to count on Jakub Martinec’s clean sheet. However, his qualities are also elsewhere. Statistically, he belongs to the most offensive defenders in the league, which he also proved in the last match against Karviná. In the season, he has already produced 11 shots on goal (only Ondřej Zmrzlý is more active), five passes into clear chances (only Wiesner from Sparta, Jan Juroška and the mentioned Marek Icha are better), at the same time he is the third most fouled defender in the league, which only underlines his offensive appetites. In the last three games, his score is five, five and seven points.
Wale Musa Alli (6.4 miles) – České Budějovice, midfielder
As the legendary commentator and Czech playboy Pavel Čapek would say, Wale Musa Alli is the prototype of a player called a scorpion. Speed, low center of gravity and constant desire for the balloon. We often talk about Jan Suchan in connection with Budějovice, but why not try his partner from the South Bohemian reserve, Alli. He already recorded six assists in the season, and only Kovařík, Birmančević and Laci are more active passers. A total of 18 shots on goal and three goals suggests he could be more productive and his overall xG will certainly be higher. Add to that the fact that only 1% of all teams have this fast-footed fighter in their center.
Tomáš Chorý (10 million) – Viktoria Plzeň, striker
By far the most expensive player in this list of picks. Ten million is a really high sum and a lot of Fantasy teams would probably have to take out a bank loan to afford this sharpshooter from Pilsen. His form from the last matches is so interesting that in this case we might consider looking for a contact to one of the banks. In the spring, he played 11 games in the league and scored eight goals and three assists. Of these, the last two matches for Chorém came out on top with an asterisk. He scored two goals against Teplice and one against Mladá Boleslav. Pilsen will welcome Slovácko in the group for the title in the next round, can you hear the word hattrick?

Will Tomáš Chorý be happy against Slovácko?
Tips for the captain
Pavel Šulc (6.6 mil) – Viktoria Plzeň, midfielder
Pavel Šulc could have the pseudonym certainty of points. His goal and assist production is admirable, and who else to choose as captain than Pilsen’s discovery of the season at home against Slovakia?
Jan Kuchta (9.8 million) – Sparta Prague, striker
Jan Kuchta goes into the next derby in the season with thunderous form. Kuchta has goals, assists, simply everything you want from a striker on his menu. If you don’t have him on your team yet, mobilize your finances and go for him. If you have him, definitely don’t sell him and give him very serious consideration for a possible captain’s armband. He will certainly have the motivation to score more than one goal on Saturday at Letná.
Ewerton (7.6 miles) – Baník Ostrava, midfielder
Ostrava has had a horror match in Eden, on the other hand, coach Hapal spared many players and one of them is the Brazilian Ewerton. The offensive ace of Baník is in great form, he had at least a goal or an assist in the last six games, so we expect him to be a valid player again at home against Mladá Boleslav. And not only on the field, but certainly also in Fantasy.
