Successful Completion of the opening round of the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League group stage, here is the official Fantasy Football Team of the Week as two African players featured.
Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus and Ivory Coast defender Abakar Sylla were the only two featured African players based on their statistics for their respective sides.
Kudus who earned his first start of the season for Ajax as a false 9, came up with a staggering performance and won the player of the match after contributing two goals [a goal and an assist] to their 4-0 victory against Rangers from home.
He was featured in midfield with Napoli star Piotr Zielinski and Sporting CP’s Marcus Edwards – also the only player who did not misplace a pass this week.
Sylla, on the other hand, was a defence rock star for Club Brugge as they cruised over Bayer 04 Leverkusen by his lone goal.
Put up magnificent displays in the back force – 4 clearances, 2 block shots, and 88% pass accuracy to earn the highest points (17) as a central defender.
