Chingotto and Brea Senesi are running away with the averages — here's how to build a winning 1,000-credit team around them.
Milano P1 just wrapped up, and the dust has barely settled on the Foro Italico before the fantasy numbers start telling their own story. Whether your squad came out of Italy flying or limping, the season data is crystal clear on a few things: there are two players who simply cannot be dropped, a pair of steals that make your budget sing, and a crop of managers already pulling away from the pack with over 14,500 points banked. Let's cut straight to what the numbers are telling us and how you can act on them right now.
📍 This week's example: Milano P1 2026
Federico Chingotto at 113.4 average fantasy points per tournament is, frankly, in a league of his own among the men. Ranked third in the world, playing right side with that signature drive game, he's delivered across all 20 tournaments this season — that's full consistency, not a hot streak. At 193.7 credits he's one of the most expensive options on the platform, but when a player averages over 113 FP every single time he takes the court, the maths justifies itself. If you're building a 1,000-credit roster with six men and six women, Chingotto is your anchor. You build the rest of the team *around* him, not instead of him. Lock him in first, then engineer the budget elsewhere.
On the women's side, Delfina Brea Senesi is doing the exact same thing in a different jersey. Ranked number one in the world, also 20 tournaments played, she's averaging 103.4 FP per event at 192.2 credits — the most expensive woman in the game and, by pretty much every metric, worth every credit. Her left-side drive game makes her a fantasy machine: consistent winners, reliable depth, and the kind of match volume that keeps your score ticking even in weeks when results don't go the way you'd like. At 192.2, she'll eat a big chunk of your women's budget. But here's the thing — settling for a cheaper alternative who averages 60 FP to save 40 credits is a losing trade nearly every week. Brea Senesi at #1 is the ceiling, and the ceiling is very high.
Together, Chingotto and Brea Senesi cost you roughly 386 credits of your 1,000 — that's 38.6% of the entire budget on just two players. That sounds scary until you realise they're producing a combined average of 216.8 FP per gameweek. The smart move is to treat them as the immovable pillars of your lineup and get creative with the remaining ten roster spots. That's where value picks and budget plays become the real differentiators.
Best value isn't about finding the cheapest player — it's about finding the player who gives you the most fantasy points per credit spent, and right now Maximiliano Arce is that player in the men's draw. Sixty points and change (60.8 FP average) for just 48.1 credits works out to a ratio of 1.26 FP per credit — the best in the men's field. That number matters because at 48.1 credits, you're essentially picking him up for free in the context of a 1,000-credit budget. He's not going to anchor your team, but as a complementary piece — someone you slot into one of your cheaper men's spots while your heavy hitters carry the load — Arce is borderline essential. The credits he saves you can fund a premium elsewhere, potentially upgrading another position by 40 or 50 credits. That kind of ripple effect is how championships are won in this game.
The women's equivalent is Martina Calvo Santamaria, and while her ratio of 0.68 FP per credit is naturally lower than Arce's (the women's market prices differently at the top), she's posting 78.5 average FP for just 115.5 credits. To put that in perspective: that's a near-80-point average at a price point that sits well below the elite tier. She's not a throwaway pick — 78.5 FP is genuinely competitive output. For a woman in that 115-credit bracket, finding that kind of production is exactly the kind of discovery that separates savvy managers from the rest. After you've locked in Brea Senesi on the premium end, Calvo Santamaria becomes your second women's pillar, delivering serious points without torching your remaining budget on a second 190-credit player.
Average points per tournament is one thing, but total fantasy points delivered across a full season tells you something different — it tells you who's actually been in your corner week after week. Federico Chingotto leads all men with 2,268 total FP across 20 tournaments. That's not a flash in the pan. Twenty tournaments, 113.4 per event, no missed rounds, no disappearing acts. When managers at the top of the leaderboard talk about consistent returns, this is what they're pointing at. Every week you didn't have Chingotto, you left an average of 113 points on the table. Over a full season, that adds up to the kind of gap that's almost impossible to close.
Delfina Brea Senesi has delivered 2,068 total FP on the women's side — also across 20 tournaments, also at full participation. The gap between her and the next-best woman is the story here. She's not just the highest average; she's the highest volume. That combination of consistency and output is what makes her not just a premium pick but a *necessary* pick for any manager serious about competing for the top of the leaderboard. Look at where FJorgensenTeam, DavidCereCat and GusTeam are sitting — above 14,000 points each. It would be a significant surprise if those squads didn't have both Chingotto and Brea Senesi as foundational pieces all season long.
Once your premium anchors are locked in, the budget picks become your competitive edge — and Juan Ignacio De Pascual is the most interesting cheap option in the men's pool right now. Ranked 43rd, averaging 34.1 FP across 13 tournaments, and costing just 30.7 credits, De Pascual is the kind of player you slot into the sixth men's spot without a second thought. He's not going to win you a week on his own, but 34 points for under 31 credits? That's 70 credits saved compared to a mid-range option — credits that go straight toward upgrading one of your other four men. At 30.7, he's practically a free roll. The risk is his 13-tournament sample (smaller than the full-season stalwarts), but the efficiency is undeniable.
On the women's side, Lea Godallier is the budget pick — and she comes with an important caveat worth understanding. Ranked 49th, French player, backhand side, 12 tournaments played, averaging 8.5 FP for 50.6 credits. That's a low output number, and her ratio reflects it. But at 50.6 credits she's one of the cheapest playable women in the game, and in a 1,000-credit budget where you're already spending 192.2 on Brea Senesi and potentially 115.5 on Calvo Santamaria, you need someone in that ultra-cheap bracket for your sixth women's slot. Godallier fills that role. Think of her as a budget stabiliser — she keeps your squad legal and frees the credits that let you run two elite women at the top. Used right, she's not a weakness; she's the financial engineering that makes your premium picks possible.
🔒 Chingotto (193.7cr) and Brea Senesi (192.2cr) are non-negotiables — 113.4 and 103.4 avg FP respectively means every week without them is points left behind.
💰 Arce (48.1cr, 1.26 FP/credit) and Calvo Santamaria (115.5cr, 78.5 avg FP) are the value plays that free up budget for elite upgrades elsewhere — use them as your second tier, not fillers.
🧮 De Pascual (30.7cr) and Godallier (50.6cr) are your budget anchors — combine them with your premium picks and you've got the financial room to stack real talent in slots three through five.
