OutOfTheCourt Fantasy Stats: Madrid P1 2026 Recap — Who to Pick, Who to Stack, and Where to Find Value

Madrid P1 just wrapped under the Movistar Arena lights, and if your fantasy squad wasn't built around the right anchors, you felt it. Sixteen tournaments into the 2026 Premier Padel season, the data is no longer whispering — it's shouting. Whether you're chasing the leaderboard (top spot sits at 11,315.9 points right now) or just trying to stay competitive heading into the business end of the calendar, this week's numbers paint a very clear picture of who deserves your credits and who's quietly robbing you blind.

📍 This week's example: Madrid P1 2026

📊 Highest Average FP

Nobody on the men's side touches Federico Chingotto for sustained fantasy output. The Argentine right-side specialist — currently ranked #3 on the Premier Padel tour — is averaging 113.4 fantasy points per tournament across all 16 events this season, and he's doing it at a cost of 193.7 credits. That's not cheap, but it is priced fairly for what you're getting. Chingotto's drive and all-round game translate directly into fantasy points: he's the kind of player who racks up points from deep in rallies, grinding out wins that register across multiple scoring categories. Paired all season with Alejandro Galán, that partnership has been one of the most consistent sources of points in the entire game — not just the most spectacular. If you're building a 6-man lineup on a 1,000-credit budget and Chingotto isn't in it, you'd better have an exceptional reason why.

On the women's side, Delfina Brea Senesi is the straightforward answer to the same question. The world number one from Argentina averages 103.4 FP per tournament across the same 16 events, costing 192.2 credits. Just a hair cheaper than Chingotto with only slightly lower output — that's almost identical value at the very top of the women's game. Brea and her partner Gemma Triay have been the most final-reaching women's pair of the 2026 season so far, which means fantasy points stack up even when they don't win. She's a drive-side player with elite shot-making and the kind of consistency that makes her ceiling and her floor surprisingly close together — which is exactly what you want in an anchor pick. Lock her in at 192.2 credits, build around her, and don't look back.

💰 Best Cost/Points Ratio

Maximiliano Arce is the best pure value pick in the men's game right now and it's not particularly close. At just 48.1 credits, he's delivering 60.8 average fantasy points per tournament — a cost-to-points ratio of 1.26 FP per credit. Read that again: 1.26 fantasy points for every single credit you spend. That's a ratio no premium player can come close to matching. He's your budget anchor, the player who frees up the room to fit Chingotto and maybe one more big name in the same lineup. On a 1,000-credit budget spread across 12 players, finding a man who costs 48.1 credits but plays like someone worth double is a cheat code. He's not flashy, but he's reliable, and in fantasy that reliability compounds every single week.

For the women, Martina Calvo Santamaria is the equivalent call. At 115.5 credits she costs noticeably more than Arce, but her 78.5 average FP and resulting ratio of 0.68 FP per credit make her the best-value option in the women's pool by a meaningful margin. Yes, 0.68 is lower than Arce's number, but the women's pricing structure is different — Calvo Santamaria is punching significantly above her credit weight in that context. She's the type of player where you slot her in, stop worrying about her, and redirect your decision-making energy to the harder calls elsewhere. Think of her as your women's value anchor: not a glamour pick, but the pick that makes the rest of your team possible.

🔥 Most FP Delivered

Season contribution — total fantasy points actually delivered, not just averaged — tells you who's been the most important player to own all year long. And Federico Chingotto leads the men's game by a mile: 1,814 total FP banked across 16 tournaments. That number comes from never missing an event and consistently putting up big numbers when he does play. It's not just that his average is elite — it's that he hasn't disappeared for weeks at a time the way some other premium players have. Every credit you spent on Chingotto this season came back to you with interest. That's what a true fantasy anchor looks like.

Delfina Brea Senesi sits at 1,654 total FP for the women's side — the single highest contribution figure among all female players in 2026. She's played all 16 tournaments, she's delivered every time, and she currently sits atop the women's world ranking with 18,069 FIP points as evidence of just how dominant her on-court form has been. The fantasy numbers and the real-world numbers are telling exactly the same story. If you don't have her in your team right now, you've been leaving points on the table all season. The question isn't whether she's worth 192.2 credits — the question is how you're structuring the rest of your squad to afford her.

🪙 Best Budget Pick

Aimar Goñi at 37.5 credits is the kind of pick that quietly wins you weeks. The Spanish backhand specialist is ranked #36 on tour and averaging 29.1 FP across all 16 tournaments of the season. At that price point, you're essentially getting him for free — 37.5 credits is almost nothing in the context of a 1,000-credit budget. He won't top your weekly scores, but he won't embarrass you either, and the 29.1 FP average across a full season of 16 events is proof of consistency that most budget picks simply can't match. Use him to complete your sixth men's spot and redirect those saved credits toward a premium like Chingotto. That's the math that separates sharp managers from the rest.

Patricia Martinez Fortun is the women's budget play, though she comes with a caveat worth flagging: she's appeared in only 4 of 16 tournaments, averaging 10.3 FP in those events at a cost of 49.4 credits. The limited appearances mean she's higher-risk than Goñi — if she doesn't play a given week, those 49.4 credits are dead weight. But if she's in the draw, those credits represent genuine value at the budget end. She's a speculative pick, not a set-and-forget one. Use her as your sixth women's slot when you need to squeeze credits elsewhere, keep an eye on the draw each week, and be ready to pivot. The managers sitting at the top of the leaderboard almost certainly aren't built on stars alone — they're built on finding the Goñis and the Martinez Fortuns that everyone else ignores.
