Rafa Silva has no posted line, and Gurgul’s low foul and card clearance gives no edge for a winger foul-drawing or card angle; Gurgul’s tackles line is the only defensive prop with some support.

Duran has no posted line, so there is no direct attacking prop angle; Skrzypczak and Yegbe’s low foul and card output leaves little support for a card or foul angle.
