Brasileirão Round 32 arrives straight after a midweek of Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana action, and for Cartola managers that means it is time to fine-tune your squad. Not every fantasy hit is among the most-picked names, so this roundup highlights three midfielders and three forwards who are flying under the radar but have a high ceiling for big scores.
Before diving in, a few practical details. Only nine matches count for fantasy points this round, as Cruzeiro against Remo on Friday (23 October) is excluded from scoring. The market closes on Saturday, 24 October, at 16:29 Brasília time. Lineups for six clubs, Mirassol, São Paulo, Internacional, Botafogo, Vitória and Athletico-PR, will become available only minutes before the deadline, so keep an eye on the team sheets.
Midfielders to consider
Lucas Paquetá (Flamengo), C$ 14.23: Paquetá is in excellent form, and his lowest score across the last five rounds is 8.00. With Arrascaeta sidelined, he has taken on a role closer to goal, and his returns reflect that change. Flamengo face Atlético-MG at the Maracanã on Monday.
Lescano (Vasco), C$ 10.53: Described as the engine of the Vasco midfield, Lescano takes on a Corinthians side that has gone nine rounds without a win. In just five appearances he has scored twice and is averaging 7.90 points per game. The match is at São Januário.
Josué (Coritiba), C$ 6.44: A budget option with a strong set of numbers. Josué has already registered nine assists and one goal in Cartola 2026. Coritiba host a grieving Grêmio side that sits in the relegation zone and comes off a heavy home defeat, which makes this a useful fixture to target.
Forwards to consider
Viveros (Athletico-PR), C$ 12.69: The Brasileirão’s top scorer with 21 goals, Viveros averages 9.14 points in the game. In his most recent away match he scored twice and collected 18.70 points. Athletico travel to face Vitória at the Barradão.
Andrés Gómez (Vasco), C$ 11.76: Gómez sat out Vasco’s Copa Sudamericana clash with Boca Juniors through suspension, which means he comes into the league fixture fresh. He has five goals, three assists and an eye-catching 50 shots so far this season. Corinthians visit São Januário, the same match as Lescano.
Gabriel (Santos), C$ 9.94: In excellent form, Gabriel has scored five goals in his last six rounds. He faces one of the teams he has troubled most in his career, having found the net eight times against Bahia. The clash takes place at the Vila Belmiro.
