Cancelo's 16 was the full-house: attacking return, clean sheet, and bonus for the out-of-box rocket — top class in a 4–0 against Al Shorta. Value? At 7m, he's having a captaincy conversation all by himself.
Over in Doha, the 22-year-old Boulbina lit up a six-goal epic, while the Serbian conductor in maroon turned a deficit into a statement — both essentially one-man game-changers.
In the East, a former England international reminded everyone of his end product with a goal and assist in Shanghai; Machida's midfield metronome and Vissel's set-piece specialist rewarded the 0.5 — 1.5% who backed them — differentials that mattered.

There will be chances for fantasy to pick their assassins.
Reigning champions Al Ahli would love to bounce back after their first defeat, while Al Ittihad desperately need a win to keep their qualifying hopes alive.
The case is no different for Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Johor Darul Ta'zim, who are struggling mid-table on the East side.
Riyad Mahrez (10.5m), Benzema (10.5m), Steven Bergwijn (9.5m), Sota Nakamura (7.5M) and Mutsuki Kato (7m), well, the list goes on. Make sure you pick the right one and the right price.
