Sofascore NL Matchday 2: captain picks and best buys
Sofascore Nations League Matchday 2 preview: best buys, captain picks and differentials
Sofascore Nations League Matchday 2 starts a tight run. Matchdays 2, 3 and 4 are all played between 27 September and 6 October, and then the competition pauses until mid-November. So this deadline is the real decision of the autumn. A transfer made now has to carry you through three matchdays in ten days, and every pick below is judged on that three-matchday program, not on Matchday 2 alone. The full numbers behind every name are on our Sofascore Nations League player picks page.
The short version: Denzel Dumfries is the best player in the game over the window and the top captain for Matchday 2. Dominik Szoboszlai and Arda Güler lead the midfield over three matchdays. Kylian Mbappé is the forward to own, while Erling Haaland is a hold rather than a buy. Cristiano Ronaldo, Josko Gvardiol and any player projected for zero minutes are the ones to move on.
The programs: whose next three Sofascore Nations League matchdays are worth owning
Switzerland have the best attacking run in the game. [A]SCO → [H]SLO → [H]NM adds up to 6.25 expected goals and 1.33 expected clean sheets. The Scotland trip is the fixture to plan around, with a 44% win probability, but two home games against Slovenia and North Macedonia follow it. Albania ([A]SMR → [A]FIN → [H]SMR) carry the most clean-sheet equity of any side at 1.41 expected clean sheets, because San Marino appear twice in the window.
Among the big nations, Spain ([H]CRO → [H]CZE → [A]CRO, 5.61 xG) and England ([A]CZE → [A]CRO → [H]CZE, 1.21 expected clean sheets) have the strongest runs. France ([A]BEL → [H]ITA → [H]BEL) sit just behind Spain on 5.39 xG, and Germany ([H]GRE → [H]SER → [A]GRE) play twice at home before the trip to Greece. The Netherlands ([A]SER → [A]GRE → [H]SER) are closer to average over three at 5.09 xG, but their defenders project very well in both Serbia games, which is why three of them sit in the top four of the defender rankings.
The runs to avoid are at the bottom of the table. Czechia ([H]ENG → [A]ESP → [A]ENG) face England twice and Spain once for just 2.69 expected goals, and Serbia and Croatia each face two of the tournament's strongest sides. Five smaller nations also blank a matchday in the window: Malta and Liechtenstein have no Matchday 2 fixture, Andorra and Lithuania sit out Matchday 3, and Gibraltar and Liechtenstein sit out Matchday 4.

Best goalkeepers for Sofascore Nations League Matchday 2
Caoimhin Kelleher (5.0m, IRE) is the goalkeeper to own for the window. His program is [A]ISR → [H]AUT → [H]ISR and he projects 5.4 → 5.4 → 5.4, the highest three-matchday total of any keeper at 16.2. Only 2.9% of managers have him. The trajectory is completely flat, which is what you want from a keeper you buy once and then stop thinking about.
The value pick is Dmytro Riznyk (4.5m, UKR), a tenth of a point behind Kelleher over three at 16.1 for 0.5m less. Ukraine's [A]GEO → [H]NI → [H]HUN peaks with the Northern Ireland home game, where he projects 5.5, and he is owned by 0.1% of managers. Pierce Charles (4.5m, NI) is the other cheap option at 5.2 → 4.6 → 5.3 over [H]HUN → [A]UKR → [H]GEO. The Ukraine trip is his soft spot, and the two home games around it carry him.
Best defenders for Sofascore Nations League Matchday 2
Denzel Dumfries (7.0m, NED) is the top-projected player in the whole game for Matchday 2 at 8.3. His program of [A]SER → [A]GRE → [H]SER holds up too: 8.3 → 5.6 → 7.3 for 21.2 over three, the most of any player in any position. The Greece trip is the dip in the middle, but two very good Serbia games around it make him a clean buy, and at 4.0% ownership he is still a differential.
The Netherlands have two more defenders in the top four over three matchdays. Virgil van Dijk (7.0m, NED) projects 7.3 → 5.4 → 6.7 (19.4) and takes a small share of the penalties. Jan Paul van Hecke (6.0m, NED) projects 7.7 → 5.2 → 6.3 (19.2). Here the Matchday 2 ranking and the three-matchday ranking disagree. Van Hecke out-projects Dara O'Shea (5.0m, IRE) this round (7.7 against 6.6), but O'Shea wins over three (19.9 against 19.2), costs 1.0m less, and keeps his level into November while van Hecke fades. If you are buying one defender to keep, buy O'Shea. His program is [A]ISR → [H]AUT → [H]ISR, his trajectory 6.6 → 6.4 → 6.9, and only 0.5% of managers own him. The three-per-nation cap means Dumfries, van Dijk and van Hecke together use up all of your Dutch slots.
O'Shea and Kelleher are a correlated pair. The same Ireland back line drives both scores, so a strong week lands twice. A bad Ireland night hurts both, but at 5.0m each the stack is a calculated risk rather than a gamble.
The hidden gem at the back is Willi Orban (5.5m, HUN). Hungary's [A]NI → [H]GEO → [A]UKR is not a standout program on team numbers, but he projects 6.4 → 6.9 → 5.6 for 18.9, and his 6.9 on Matchday 3 at home to Georgia is the second-highest number any player has that week. He is 2.7% owned. Nico Schlotterbeck (6.5m, GER) is the German alternative: 7.0 → 6.5 → 5.3 over [H]GRE → [H]SER → [A]GRE. He is front-loaded, so he suits a manager planning to move him on after Matchday 3.
At the premium end, Nuno Mendes (7.5m, POR) is the one highly-owned defender worth holding: 6.2 → 5.8 → 6.6 over [A]NOR → [A]DEN → [H]NOR, rising to 7.0 in Matchday 5. For the cheapest slots, two 4.5m defenders have rising trajectories, which is the argument for buying them now rather than later. Dion Gallapeni (4.5m, KOS) goes 5.0 → 5.2 → 5.9 over [A]AUT → [A]ISR → [H]AUT and reaches 6.4 in Matchday 5. Milan Roganovic (4.5m, MTN) goes 5.3 → 4.7 → 6.3 over [A]ARM → [A]LVA → [H]ARM, and the home game against Armenia on Matchday 4 is his best week. Ben Davies (4.6 → 5.3 → 5.7) is the next 4.5m option down.
| Player | Team | Price | Owned | Program (MD2-MD4) | MD2 → MD3 → MD4 | 3-matchday total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Denzel Dumfries | NED | 7.0m | 4.0% | [A]SER → [A]GRE → [H]SER | 8.3 → 5.6 → 7.3 | 21.2 |
| Dara O'Shea | IRE | 5.0m | 0.5% | [A]ISR → [H]AUT → [H]ISR | 6.6 → 6.4 → 6.9 | 19.9 |
| Virgil van Dijk | NED | 7.0m | 10.1% | [A]SER → [A]GRE → [H]SER | 7.3 → 5.4 → 6.7 | 19.4 |
| Jan Paul van Hecke | NED | 6.0m | 6.0% | [A]SER → [A]GRE → [H]SER | 7.7 → 5.2 → 6.3 | 19.2 |
| Willi Orban | HUN | 5.5m | 2.7% | [A]NI → [H]GEO → [A]UKR | 6.4 → 6.9 → 5.6 | 18.9 |
| Nico Schlotterbeck | GER | 6.5m | 5.2% | [H]GRE → [H]SER → [A]GRE | 7.0 → 6.5 → 5.3 | 18.8 |
| Nuno Mendes | POR | 7.5m | 17.2% | [A]NOR → [A]DEN → [H]NOR | 6.2 → 5.8 → 6.6 | 18.6 |
| Milan Roganovic | MTN | 4.5m | 0.1% | [A]ARM → [A]LVA → [H]ARM | 5.3 → 4.7 → 6.3 | 16.3 |
| Dion Gallapeni | KOS | 4.5m | 0.1% | [A]AUT → [A]ISR → [H]AUT | 5.0 → 5.2 → 5.9 | 16.1 |
Best midfielders for Sofascore Nations League Matchday 2
Dominik Szoboszlai (8.5m, HUN) is the midfielder to own for the window. He projects 6.4 → 7.7 → 6.4 over [A]NI → [H]GEO → [A]UKR, the top three-matchday total of any midfielder at 20.5. His 7.7 on Matchday 3 is the highest number any player has that week. He takes Hungary's penalties and has produced 0.59 xGI per 90 across his last ten matches. This is the clearest case of the round and the program disagreeing: he is not in the top five midfielders for Matchday 2, but no midfielder beats him over three.
Arda Güler (8.0m, TUR) is one of the steadiest premiums in the game. His program of [H]ITA → [A]BEL → [A]ITA gives 6.8 → 6.7 → 6.5 for 20.0, with none of the three below 6.5, and he goes up to 7.6 in Matchday 5. He has produced 0.99 xGI per 90 across his last ten matches and is only 7.2% owned, which makes him the premium differential of the window.
Michael Olise (10.0m, FRA) is the highly-owned midfielder worth buying. [A]BEL → [H]ITA → [H]BEL gives him 7.7 → 5.3 → 7.2 for 20.2, backed by 0.94 xGI per 90 across his last ten matches. The Italy game in the middle is the weak week, and two Belgium games around it are the reason to own him. Lamine Yamal (12.0m, ESP) (7.7 → 5.3 → 5.8 over [H]CRO → [H]CZE → [A]CRO) is a hold rather than a buy. At 38.6% ownership, keeping him protects your rank, but after the Croatia home game he projects below Szoboszlai and Güler in both of the next two matchdays.
Mikkel Damsgaard (5.5m, DEN) is the best value buy in the midfield. He projects 7.7 → 6.6 → 5.6 over [H]WAL → [H]POR → [A]WAL for 19.9, within a point of Szoboszlai at 3.0m less. Two home games open the run. The trip to Wales is the weakest of the three, so treat him as a buy for the October window rather than a season-long hold. He is only 1.3% owned.
The hidden gem is Manor Solomon (6.0m, ISR). Israel's [H]IRE → [H]KOS → [A]IRE gives him 5.4 → 6.4 → 5.0 for 16.8, he takes most of Israel's penalties, and only 1.1% of managers have him. Kristjan Asllani (7.0m, ALB) is the other one, with a different shape: 5.3 → 4.2 → 7.3 over [A]SMR → [A]FIN → [H]SMR. His 7.3 on Matchday 4 at home to San Marino is joint-highest in the game that week, and he takes Albania's penalties. The Finland trip in the middle is the dip. For a cheap midfield slot, Andrija Zivkovic (5.0m, SER) gives a flat 4.8 → 5.0 → 4.9 over [H]NED → [A]GER → [A]NED. That is not exciting, but he does not fall away.
| Player | Team | Price | Owned | Program (MD2-MD4) | MD2 → MD3 → MD4 | 3-matchday total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dominik Szoboszlai | HUN | 8.5m | 10.2% | [A]NI → [H]GEO → [A]UKR | 6.4 → 7.7 → 6.4 | 20.5 |
| Michael Olise | FRA | 10.0m | 25.4% | [A]BEL → [H]ITA → [H]BEL | 7.7 → 5.3 → 7.2 | 20.2 |
| Arda Güler | TUR | 8.0m | 7.2% | [H]ITA → [A]BEL → [A]ITA | 6.8 → 6.7 → 6.5 | 20.0 |
| Mikkel Damsgaard | DEN | 5.5m | 1.3% | [H]WAL → [H]POR → [A]WAL | 7.7 → 6.6 → 5.6 | 19.9 |
| Lamine Yamal | ESP | 12.0m | 38.6% | [H]CRO → [H]CZE → [A]CRO | 7.7 → 5.3 → 5.8 | 18.8 |
| Manor Solomon | ISR | 6.0m | 1.1% | [H]IRE → [H]KOS → [A]IRE | 5.4 → 6.4 → 5.0 | 16.8 |
| Kristjan Asllani | ALB | 7.0m | 0.4% | [A]SMR → [A]FIN → [H]SMR | 5.3 → 4.2 → 7.3 | 16.8 |
| Andrija Zivkovic | SER | 5.0m | 0.3% | [H]NED → [A]GER → [A]NED | 4.8 → 5.0 → 4.9 | 14.7 |
Best forwards for Sofascore Nations League Matchday 2
Kylian Mbappé (12.0m, FRA) is the forward to own for the window. His program is [A]BEL → [H]ITA → [H]BEL and he projects 6.5 → 4.3 → 6.1 for 16.9, the most of any forward. He takes France's penalties and has produced 1.13 xGI per 90 across his last ten matches. The Italy game is the soft week, and the two Belgium games on either side of it carry him.
The value forward is Nikola Krstovic (6.5m, MTN). Montenegro's [A]ARM → [A]LVA → [H]ARM gives him 5.1 → 4.8 → 6.1 for 16.0, level with Harry Kane over three at 5.5m less. He is Montenegro's penalty taker, has produced 0.66 xGI per 90 across his last ten matches, and is owned by 0.9% of managers. His trajectory rises into the Armenia home game on Matchday 4, so buy him before the good week rather than during it.
Erling Haaland is the high-owned forward who is not a buy right now. Norway's [H]POR → [A]WAL → [A]POR gives him 5.7 → 4.6 → 4.9 for 15.2, behind Mbappé, Kane and Krstovic. If you own him there is no urgency to sell (see below). Viktor Gyökeres (8.0m, SWE) and Alexander Isak (8.5m, SWE) are the picks for managers planning beyond October. Sweden's [H]POL → [A]BIH → [A]ROM gives them 5.7 → 4.5 → 5.5 and 5.8 → 4.2 → 5.5, and both jump in Matchday 5 (6.8 and 7.0).
Sasa Kalajdzic (6.0m, AUT) is a one-matchday buy, and should be treated as one. He projects 5.9 at home to Kosovo, the third-highest forward number of the round, but [H]KOS → [A]IRE → [A]KOS drops him to 4.2 and 4.8 after that. Buy him only if you have a transfer to spare now, and plan to sell him again after Matchday 2.
| Player | Team | Price | Owned | Program (MD2-MD4) | MD2 → MD3 → MD4 | 3-matchday total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kylian Mbappé | FRA | 12.0m | 38.6% | [A]BEL → [H]ITA → [H]BEL | 6.5 → 4.3 → 6.1 | 16.9 |
| Harry Kane | ENG | 12.0m | 14.5% | [A]CZE → [A]CRO → [H]CZE | 6.3 → 4.3 → 5.4 | 16.0 |
| Nikola Krstovic | MTN | 6.5m | 0.9% | [A]ARM → [A]LVA → [H]ARM | 5.1 → 4.8 → 6.1 | 16.0 |
| Viktor Gyökeres | SWE | 8.0m | 3.9% | [H]POL → [A]BIH → [A]ROM | 5.7 → 4.5 → 5.5 | 15.7 |
| Alexander Isak | SWE | 8.5m | 6.0% | [H]POL → [A]BIH → [A]ROM | 5.8 → 4.2 → 5.5 | 15.5 |
| Erling Haaland | NOR | 11.5m | 29.7% | [H]POR → [A]WAL → [A]POR | 5.7 → 4.6 → 4.9 | 15.2 |
| Sasa Kalajdzic | AUT | 6.0m | 0.9% | [H]KOS → [A]IRE → [A]KOS | 5.9 → 4.2 → 4.8 | 14.9 |
Best captain picks for Sofascore Nations League Matchday 2
- Denzel Dumfries is the top captain pick at 8.3 projected points away to Serbia, the highest number in the game this matchday. He projects 7.3 again in the return game against Serbia on Matchday 4.
- Mikkel Damsgaard, Michael Olise and Lamine Yamal are tied just behind at 7.7. Damsgaard at home to Wales is the differential choice at 1.3% ownership. Yamal at home to Croatia is the safe one: at 38.6% ownership, captaining him keeps you level with the field rather than ahead of it.
- Jan Paul van Hecke (7.7) is the same Serbia fixture as Dumfries at a lower ceiling.
Captaincy is a plan across the window. Dominik Szoboszlai (7.7) and Willi Orban (6.9) lead Matchday 3, and Dumfries and Kristjan Asllani (both 7.3) lead Matchday 4, just ahead of Olise (7.2). Owning Dumfries and Szoboszlai gives you the top captain option in all three matchdays. Check the Sofascore Nations League predicted lineups before you hand out the armband.
Best Quick Fix (Free Hit) team for Sofascore Nations League Matchday 2
If you want to play Sofascore's Quick Fix token on Matchday 2, this is the squad that maximises projected points for this matchday alone, in a 4-5-1 with Denzel Dumfries as captain:
- GK: Caoimhin Kelleher (5.0m, 5.4)
- DEF: Denzel Dumfries (7.0m, 8.3), Jan Paul van Hecke (6.0m, 7.7), Virgil van Dijk (7.0m, 7.3), Nico Schlotterbeck (6.5m, 7.0)
- MID: Lamine Yamal (12.0m, 7.7), Mikkel Damsgaard (5.5m, 7.7), Michael Olise (10.0m, 7.7), Jude Bellingham (10.5m, 7.0), Arda Güler (8.0m, 6.8)
- FWD: Sasa Kalajdzic (6.0m, 5.9)
- Bench: Dziugas Bartkus (4.0m), Georgiy Arutyunyan (4.0m), Áki Samuelsen (4.0m), Azer Omeragikj (4.0m)
The squad takes three Dutch defenders, the full allowance for one nation. Kalajdzic gets the forward slot over Kylian Mbappé (6.5) because the price difference is what pays for the five-premium midfield.

Who to sell before Sofascore Nations League Matchday 2
Cristiano Ronaldo (15.5% owned) is the clearest sell. He projects 3.7 → 2.8 → 3.4 over [A]NOR → [A]DEN → [H]NOR, under 4 points in every one of the three. There is no good week to sell him into and no better week coming, so waiting only costs points. The money funds Krstovic plus an upgrade elsewhere, or most of Mbappé.
Players projected to play no minutes go next. Breel Embolo, Jamal Musiala and Declan Rice all project 0.0 for Matchday 2 on our current predicted lineups, and none of them projects a point in Matchdays 3 or 4 either. An empty slot scores nothing in any of the three, so there is no reason to wait.
Josko Gvardiol (17.5% owned) projects 2.9 → 4.3 → 4.2 over [A]ESP → [H]ENG → [H]ESP. Matchday 2 at Spain is his low point, and even the recovery tops out at 4.3, below every defender recommended above, so there is nothing to wait for. Karim Adeyemi (7.6% owned) is a sell for a different reason. Germany's [H]GRE → [H]SER → [A]GRE is a good run, but he is not a nailed starter and his projection goes 3.6 → 3.3 → 2.8. Matchday 2 is his best week of the three, which makes this the week to sell.
Pau Cubarsi (17.5% owned) is the one you can wait on. Spain's home game against Croatia is a good fixture and his 5.7 is worth keeping for this matchday. The drop comes straight after: 4.3 on Matchday 3 and 3.4 on Matchday 4. Keep him for Matchday 2 and move him on before the Matchday 3 deadline.
Goalkeepers are the easiest upgrade, and they can wait a round. Unai Simon (13.4% owned) projects 4.5 → 3.9 → 3.6, Diogo Costa (16.3%) projects 3.6 → 3.7 → 3.9, and Gianluigi Donnarumma (14.1%) projects 4.3 → 4.2 → 4.5. Kelleher and Riznyk out-project all three in every matchday of the window. The swap is a lower priority than Ronaldo or a zero-minutes player, so make it when you have a transfer spare.
Erling Haaland is a hold if you already have him. The Portugal home game on Matchday 2 is a fair fixture and 5.7 is a respectable score. The case for moving him is value, not form: Krstovic out-projects him over three at 5.0m less. That gap is the same whether you act now or after Matchday 2, so you can wait a round on this one and spend your transfers on the sells above first.
Transfer summary for Sofascore Nations League Matchday 2
- Priority 1: sell Cristiano Ronaldo, and any of Breel Embolo, Jamal Musiala or Declan Rice.
- Priority 2: sell Josko Gvardiol and Karim Adeyemi, whose projections do not recover in the window.
- Targets: Denzel Dumfries, Dara O'Shea, Dominik Szoboszlai, Arda Güler, Mikkel Damsgaard and Nikola Krstovic. Each has a strong three-matchday program.
- Can wait: Pau Cubarsi (sell before Matchday 3), Erling Haaland, and the goalkeeper upgrade.

FAQ
Who should I captain in Sofascore Nations League Matchday 2?
Denzel Dumfries is the top captain pick with 8.3 projected points away to Serbia, the highest in the game this matchday. Mikkel Damsgaard, Michael Olise and Lamine Yamal are tied behind him at 7.7.
Who are the best differentials for Sofascore Nations League Matchday 2?
Dara O'Shea (0.5% owned, 19.9 projected over three matchdays), Willi Orban (2.7%), Manor Solomon (1.1%) and Nikola Krstovic (0.9%). All four have strong programs through Matchday 4.
Should I sell Cristiano Ronaldo before Sofascore Nations League Matchday 2?
Yes. He projects 3.7 → 2.8 → 3.4 over Portugal's next three matchdays, under 4 points every time, so there is no better week to wait for. The money is better spent on Nikola Krstovic or a premium midfielder like Dominik Szoboszlai.
Is Erling Haaland worth buying for Sofascore Nations League Matchday 2?
Not right now. He projects 5.7 → 4.6 → 4.9 over Norway's next three matchdays (15.2 in total), behind Kylian Mbappé (16.9) and behind Harry Kane and Nikola Krstovic (16.0 each), and Krstovic costs 5.0m less. If you already own him, you can hold for now.
Which budget defenders are best for Sofascore Nations League Matchday 2?
Dion Gallapeni (4.5m, 5.0 → 5.2 → 5.9) and Milan Roganovic (4.5m, 5.3 → 4.7 → 6.3) both rise into Matchday 4. Dara O'Shea at 5.0m is the best value defender overall.
