Demon Notes
- The score says Australia control. The stats say Turkiye frustration: 30 shots, eight on target, no goals.
- Irankunda is the exciting fantasy name: cheap, direct, scored, and low-owned enough to matter.
- Metcalfe got the bigger points haul, but Irankunda is the one managers will actually be tempted by.
- Guler blanking with seven shots is not a bad performance. It is a warning not to judge him only by the points.
MD2 Fantasy Takeaway
Australia gave us value picks, but Turkiye's attackers were not dead. Guler blanked badly for owners, yet the shot volume keeps him in the conversation.
