Piero Hincapie
24-Year-Old
Arsenal
Premier
Set for high involvement
Hincapie will likely play a role as part of Ecuador's back line in his second World Cup, offering consistency and ball recovery skills.
ANALYSIS
Hincapie demonstrated valuable flexibility during the closing months of the season, helping Premier League champions Arsenal from a left-back position. However, his responsibilities with Ecuador are expected to be different, as he projects to occupy a starting spot in central defense, which is a more natural role for him. In that case, he'll form a very strong defensive partnership alongside Willian Pacho. Hincapie consistently provides defensive production through tackles, recoveries and duels won. Additionally, his mobility allows Ecuador to defend aggressively without sacrificing stability. That well-rounded profile makes him one of the safest fantasy options of a squad that could enjoy decent clean sheet chances in the more favorable contests.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Barcelona ready to make move
Barcelona are open to making a move to sign Hincapie, according to The Daily Mail.
ANALYSIS
Hincapie has emerged as a reliable option on defense for Arsenal due to his ability to play both as a center-back and left-back. The Ecuador international is on loan at Arsenal from Bayer Leverkusen, and while the Gunners are looking to sign him permanently, Barcelona are expected to make a move for the defender as well. A move would probably happen in the summer.
