GW 480 J1 League Preview- Draft
🕑 Added 2024-05-27 11:08:29 +0000 UTCIntro
We have a couple of J1 league games coming up this midweek GW!
I will do the predicted lineups tomorrow as not much news out yet. Its a decent GW to target, esp in-season as theres only a few games in Contender region.
Fixtures
The below are the fixtures coming up this GW:
Main Points
YFM lost in the ACL final on Saturday and only flew back from the UAE on Sunday night. Rotation is expected as the final was v draining. Hatanaka also went off with an injury.
Popp got sent off. He will not be suspended in the J1 league.
Kashiwa played well at the wkend and unlucky not to get the win against Kawasaki. Diego returns from suspension in this game.
Kashiwa keeper Matsumoto was subbed off late on. He has suspected concussion and v likely/almost certainly missed this game. Morita is fav to take over but Sasaki and Saruta also options.
For Sagan Tosu defenders Harada and Kim Tae Hyeon are suspended.
They didnt play on the wkend so team will be well rested.
FC Tokyo lost 1-0 at home to Gamba. Brandon in general got plaudits for making some big saves in the game
Matsuki was benched after the cup game a few days earlier.
FC Tokyo have lots of options in offense with players like Endo and Nakagawa also potential starters
Theres only 7 games this GW in the Contender Region involving licensed teams. The prize pools are relatively good if able to get a team out especially the in-season divs

Sasaki (Kawasaki)
