OutOfTheCourt Fantasy Stats: Málaga P1 Wrap-Up — Your Must-Have Picks for the Season Stretch Run

Málaga P1 is done. Coello and Tapia did what Coello and Tapia do — claimed the men's title in the Palacio Carpena — while Gemma Triay and Delfi Brea shut the door on Bea González and Paula Josemaría in a three-set women's final that the whole crowd had circled in red. That's fourteen tournaments deep into the 2026 Premier Padel season now, which means our fantasy data is getting seriously thick — and seriously useful. Here's what the numbers are screaming at you heading into the back half of the calendar.

📍 This week's example: Málaga P1 2026

📊 Highest Average FP

There's a reason Federico Chingotto sits at the very top of the men's average-FP table — and it isn't luck. The Argentine right-hander, currently ranked world No. 3 on the FIP standings, has averaged 113.4 fantasy points across all 13 tournaments he's entered this season, with a cost of 193.7 credits. That's the kind of consistency that makes fantasy managers sleep well at night. He plays every point like it matters — because with Galán beside him and five titles already banked in 2026, it does. On the drive side, his controlled, rally-endurance style means he's racking up points in long matches just as reliably as he does in quick wins. In OutOfTheCourt terms, Chingotto is your anchor. Yes, he'll eat nearly 194 of your 1,000 credits. But at 113.4 FP per tournament, he earns every single one of them. If you don't have him in your six-man side right now, ask yourself why.

On the women's side, Delfina Brea Senesi is doing something almost identical — and at the world No. 1 ranking, maybe even more impressive. Averaging 103.4 fantasy points across her 13 tournaments at a cost of 192.2 credits, Delfi is the most reliable return on investment in the entire women's field. She and Triay proved it again in Málaga, marching through Icardo-Jensen in the quarters and dismissing Ortega-Calvo in the semis before a final that went three sets. Three-set finals mean more matches, more balls, more fantasy points — Brea Senesi thrives in exactly those wars of attrition. She plays right-side drive, and her elite defensive recovery combined with an increasingly sharp offensive game means she scores in every phase. At 192.2 credits, she's almost identical in cost to Chingotto. Build your women's six around her the same way: lock her in first, then allocate the rest. The math doesn't lie — 103.4 per tournament across 13 stops is not a run of form, it's a baseline.

💰 Best Cost/Points Ratio

Not everyone has 193 credits to drop on a single player, and that's exactly why Maximiliano Arce might be the most important man on your roster right now. The Argentine from Salta costs just 48.1 credits — basically a rounding error in a 1,000-credit budget — and he's averaging 60.8 fantasy points per tournament, good for a value ratio of 1.26 FP per credit. That's the best men's ratio in the entire game. Arce has reinvented himself on Premier Padel after making a name in A1 Padel, and his tactical intelligence, aggression, and ability to hang with top players across long rallies keep translating into fantasy returns that his price tag has absolutely no right to suggest. Paired with Juan Tello at a world ranking of 24th this season, he's consistently reaching the stages where points accumulate. At 48.1 credits, you can fit him alongside Chingotto and still have over 750 credits for four more men. That's the flexibility that wins leagues.

Martina Calvo Santamaria is the women's answer — and she's a timely one given that she just came off a Málaga semifinal run alongside Marta Ortega, where the pair were swept by Triay and Brea. Semifinals in a P1. Martina costs 115.5 credits and is averaging 78.5 FP per tournament for a ratio of 0.68 FP per credit. Now, that ratio is lower than Arce's by design — she's a mid-tier price point rather than a bargain-basement pick — but she's delivering genuine depth-of-run value and you're getting near-premium production for a distinctly non-premium price. In a 1,000-credit women's lineup, Calvo Santamaria frees you to spend big on Brea Senesi and still field a competitive back five. Think of it this way: lock Brea Senesi (192.2), slide Calvo Santamaria in at 115.5, and you've already covered two elite slots for just over 300 credits. That's how you build a balanced side.

🔥 Most FP Delivered

Season contribution — total fantasy points actually delivered, not just averaged — tells a different story to raw averages, because it rewards availability. Federico Chingotto has delivered 1,474 total fantasy points across his 13 tournaments in 2026. Thirteen tournaments. That means he hasn't missed a single stop, hasn't had a mysterious withdrawal or a quiet event where he rested. That 113.4 average times 13 appearances equals a volume of output no other man on the tour has matched this season. Every week Chingotto is on your roster, he contributes. Every week he isn't, you're leaving points on the table. For fantasy managers still debating whether the 193.7-credit cost is justified — 1,474 total FP is your answer.

Delfina Brea Senesi mirrors that dedication on the women's side with 1,344 total fantasy points delivered across her own 13-tournament season. The world No. 1 has shown up to every single event, gone deep in almost all of them, and produced at 103.4 FP per appearance. Her title wins with Triay — including the Málaga crown just wrapped — are worth noting too, because champions' runs generate the biggest single-event fantasy hauls. If you want the women's player who will have contributed most when the Barcelona Finals arrive in December, Brea Senesi is already building that legacy tournament by tournament. The gap between her and the nearest challenger in total season FP is significant enough that you shouldn't be betting against her consistency for the rest of the calendar.

🪙 Best Budget Pick

Here's where things get spicy for managers working tight rosters. Aimar Goñi — ranked 38th, Spanish backhand player, costs just 37.5 credits — is averaging 29.1 fantasy points over 13 tournaments. That is, by any measure, extraordinary bang for your buck. Thirty-seven and a half credits. That's barely a tenth of what you'd spend on Chingotto. Goñi has shown up to every tournament this season and delivered a consistent, if modest, return. For the managers sitting mid-table who want to free up credits to upgrade their premium slots, Goñi is your man. Drop him in at 37.5, pocket the savings, and funnel the difference into a higher-tier pick who can swing you up the leaderboard. He won't win you a week alone — but he won't hurt you either, and at that price, he doesn't need to.

On the women's side, the pick is Letizia Maria Manquillo Alarza — ranked 46th, Spanish backhand player, 50.2 credits — who has averaged 2.8 FP across her 6 tournaments this season. We'll be honest with you: 2.8 FP is not a headline number, and at only six tournaments played, the sample size is smaller than we'd like. But Manquillo Alarza represents the cheapest viable woman you can field without wasting a roster slot entirely, and at 50.2 credits, the arithmetic matters enormously. If you're stretching your women's budget to fit Brea Senesi (192.2) and Calvo Santamaria (115.5) near the top, having a 50.2-credit filler who is actually tour-active — and improving her match tally — means you can spend those saved credits on a 70-80 credit mid-tier player elsewhere. Budget building isn't glamorous. But the managers in the top five of the leaderboard didn't get there by overpaying for everyone.
