Fantasy Padel Stats: Best Average Points, Value Picks & Budget Gems After Milano P1 2026

Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia clawed back from a set down to win their 12th title of 2026 in Milan, while Ariana Sánchez and Andrea Ustero claimed a fifth women's crown of the year — a tournament that felt like a closing argument for the season's dominant forces. But fantasy padel doesn't always reward the players lifting trophies on Sunday; it rewards the players delivering points week after week, tournament after tournament. With 20 events now in the books and the Kuwait P1 on the horizon, this is the moment to audit your squad hard. Let's get into the numbers.

📍 This week's example: Milano P1 2026

📊 Highest Average FP

Nobody in the men's game is averaging fantasy points at Federico Chingotto's level right now — full stop. A 113.4 average across 20 tournaments, ranked #3 in the world, costing 193.7 credits. That's the profile of a player who doesn't disappear when the draw gets tricky. He plays on the right side off the drive, an attacking position that generates winners and — crucially for fantasy — generates the stat-line that goes with them. Milan reinforced exactly why: Chingotto and Galán reached the last 16 without dropping a set in the group stages. When you're anchoring a 6-man lineup, you need a player who shows up in Round 1 just as hard as he does in a semifinal, because fantasy points don't care which round it is. Chingotto does that.

Now, 193.7 credits is serious money on a 1,000-credit budget — roughly 19% of the whole thing gone on one player before you've touched the women's side. But here's the thing: the premium justifies itself when the average is this consistent. You're not gambling on a hot week; you're buying near-guaranteed output. The move is to make Chingotto your bedrock, then engineer the rest of your men's five around value. Lock him in, then solve the budget problem elsewhere — which is exactly what this article is going to help you do.

On the women's side, Delfina Brea Senesi holds the #1 ranking AND the highest average FP in the women's game at 103.4 per tournament across 20 events, at a cost of 192.2 credits. She plays on the right in an attacking role, and her fantasy output reflects a player who competes deep into draws with unsettling regularity. Milan was a rare slip — she and Gemma Triay went out in the semis to Sánchez and Ustero — but even a semi-final exit at a P1 is a strong fantasy week. Across the whole season, 20 tournaments and barely a blank scoresheet to speak of. She's your women's anchor, simple as that. Pair her with Chingotto as your two cornerstone picks, accept that ~386 of your 1,000 credits are spoken for between them, and then get smart with every credit that remains.

💰 Best Cost/Points Ratio

Here's where it gets interesting. If Chingotto is the premium anchor, Maximiliano Arce is the pressure-release valve your budget desperately needs. Just 48.1 credits. Averaging 60.8 FP. That's a ratio of 1.26 FP per credit — the best return on investment among all men's players this season. To put that in perspective: Chingotto's ratio is roughly 0.59 FP per credit. Arce is delivering more than twice the points-per-credit. He's not a headline name, which is precisely why he's available at this price point. In a budget-constrained format, underpaying by that margin on one roster slot means you can upgrade another. Arce at 48.1 credits is basically a free man in your lineup — and in a tight 1,000-credit puzzle, free men win leagues.

Martina Calvo Santamaria is the women's equivalent story, and Milan only adds to her credentials. She and Claudia Fernández reached the quarterfinals at the Allianz Cloud, which translates into a genuinely productive fantasy week. At 115.5 credits, she's not a budget pick in the same sense as Arce — she costs real money — but her 78.5 FP average gives her a 0.68 FP-per-credit ratio that outperforms most players near her price bracket. The comparison that matters: you're getting near-top-eight consistency at a cost that sits well below the elite tier. If Brea Senesi is your 192.2-credit anchor, slotting Calvo Santamaria at 115.5 is how you afford the rest of your women's six without gutting the squad. She's the mid-range pick that actually punches up.

🔥 Most FP Delivered

Raw averages tell you how good a player is per tournament. Total season contribution tells you how much they've actually put in your bank account — and those are different conversations. Federico Chingotto has delivered 2,268 total fantasy points across 2026, the most of any men's player. That number comes from showing up at 20 tournaments and averaging 113.4 at each of them. There are no gaps in his season calendar, no wild swings in performance. Just relentless, compounding output. For managers who've held Chingotto since the start of the season, that 2,268 is the foundation everything else is built on — the platform that allows you to take a few risks elsewhere in the squad.

Delfina Brea Senesi's 2,068 total FP is the women's season benchmark, and the number deserves a moment of appreciation. Twenty tournaments, 103.4 per event, not a single week written off as a dead loss. The gap between her and the next-best women's contributor reflects just how present she's been — not just ranked #1 on the court, but ranked #1 in the one metric that actually determines whether your fantasy team wins your group: points delivered. If you've carried her all season, you already know. If you haven't, Kuwait is your next entry point.

🪙 Best Budget Pick

Not every slot in your 12-player squad needs to be a statement. Some slots exist to free up credits so your statements can afford to be loud. Juan Ignacio De Pascual is exactly that kind of player — ranked #43, averaging 34.1 FP, and costing just 30.7 credits across 13 tournaments. Milan showed he can compete beyond his ranking: he and Garrido pushed all the way to the quarterfinals before running into Augsburger and Lebrón. That's a fantasy haul in any week. At 30.7 credits, he's almost incomprehensibly cheap for what he delivers when the draw opens up for him. In a 6+6 squad structure, slotting De Pascual into one men's position frees roughly 163 credits compared to picking a player in the 190s — that's essentially a full extra women's roster spot. Proper budget architecture.

On the women's side, Léa Godallier (ranked #49) costs 50.6 credits and has played 12 tournaments averaging 8.5 FP per event — lower raw output than the other names in this piece, that's honest. But at 50.6 credits she's one of the most affordable options who is actually competing in draws and showing up consistently. She plays on the backhand, brings a different stylistic profile to your lineup, and in a week where she goes deep — which does happen — the value ratio is absurd. Think of her not as a points guarantee but as a cheap insurance pick: she keeps your squad count legally full while costing you almost nothing, leaving your credits available for the Chingottos and Breas and Calvo Santamarias of the world. Budget construction is about the total picture, not any individual choice.
