Marquee Matchup

Arsenal vs Tottenham

The first game in this week features is in the Premier League and we have a huge London Derby between Arsenal and Tottenham. With both clubs full of such quality, we are going to be looking at gold players here, but luckily we still have plenty of discard options available. Take into account possible rating of the challenge alongside which players will be in higher demand.

Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid

Our second game sees another huge fixture in La Liga with the Madrid derby. Investment opportunities here are plentiful and with one team having a more limited selection, we could also see a larger increase in prices (if bought at discard of course). The only concern I have here, is that Atletico vs Barcelona has recently been featured. This could persuade EA to wait for the reverse fixture of this derby before including it.

Yeovil vs Swindon

We move back to England for this fixture and with another Marquee Matchup prediction, we have yet another choice from the lower English Divisions. Local rivals Yeovil face Swindon in this heated match and with the distinct absence of gold players for both teams, discard silver players could prove to be extremely profitable here.

Gornik Zabrze vs Legia Warsaw

This ones a little different as we head over to the Polish league next. Top of the table Zabrze are hosts to Levi's Warsaw in this fixture, where the winner will jump into the lead. While not a derby, the magnitude of this game from within a smaller league is nothing to ignore. Plenty of discard investments available.

Panathinaikos vs AEK

In the Greek Superleague we find another match that carries significance between Panathinaikos and AEK. According to Wikipedia, both teams are located in the Athen metropolitan area, one from the port and one from the suburbs and this is where the derby originates from.

Monterrey vs Tigres

Clasico Regiomontano is the name given to the derby between these two Mexican, crosstown rivals. As one of the largest and most well known derbies in Mexican football, this surely has a chance to feature in the upcoming weeks challenges and with plenty of players available for discard still, we are spoilt for investment choices.

Nacional vs Medellin

Once again we refer back to Wikipedia for some information on this Columbian derby. Atletico Nacional and Independiente Medellin share the Atanasio Girardot stadium and is widely known as one of the fiercest rivalries in Columbian football. The name given to this match is El Clasico Paisa and with the wide availability of discard players once again, we have options flowing this week.

Roma vs Lazio

Once again we have a handful of strong fixtures scattered across the Serie A and with this plenty of potential candidates for the SBC. The concern I have here, is that we have seen a few games recently selected from this league, including one only last week. Could EA pick another fixture from here or does it need a little breathing room first?
