Draft No. 1 pick Gutinho has a new home: every Kings Cup Brazil squad after the Draft
12 players per team, five forwards at Capim FC, six midfielders at Fluxo FC and three players from G3X FC’s Kings World Cup Clubs-winning squad now split between Dibrados FC and DesimpaiN. The Kings Cup Brazil kicks off on 19 October.
Gutinho opened the Kings League Brazil Draft and will play for Dibrados FC. The first player taken on 3 October at the Trident Arena appears as Gutinho Penha on the final roster of Allan Stag and Lucas Tylty’s side, one of the 10 squads now locked in for the Kings Cup Brazil, which kicks off on 19 October.
Every team leaves the Draft with 12 players. There are familiar faces in new shirts and one name arriving from Spain: Aleix Martí, top scorer of the last Kings League Spain Split, is on the G3X FC roster.
Gutinho lands at a Dibrados FC side with five midfielders
Allan Stag and Lucas Tylty’s side finished bottom of Split 2 with a 2-7 record but got lucky in the Draft: they drew the first overall pick. Gutinho Penha joins Gabriel Costa, Ton Spider and Daniel Ram up front; Luan Mestre, Matheus Rufino, Well Andrade, Raphael Augusto and Rodriguinho Rocha make up the midfield; Sidney Pages is the defender, and Luan Teles and Filipinho Maia share the goalkeeping duties.
Matheus Rufino and Well Andrade were part of the G3X FC squad that won the Kings World Cup Clubs and now play for Dibrados FC.
Aleix Martí crosses the Atlantic to play for G3X FC
Aleix Martí finished as Kings League Spain’s top scorer in Split 6 with 36 goals for Ultimate Móstoles. In the Kings Cup Brazil he will play as a forward for Gaules and Kelvin’s team, alongside Marcos Niniu in attack.
G3X FC took Danilo Silva with their first pick and complete the squad with Gabriel Braga and Josildo Barata in goal, Wembley Luiz, Gabriel Messias and Marcelo Vilella in defence, and Marquinhos Samora, Andreas Vaz, Thiago TH and Dudu Barbosa in midfield. Kelvin Oliveira, who had hip surgery on 28 September, is not on the list.
DesimpaiN defend the title with Nikxik
The reigning champions picked Nikxik first, listed as Nikxik Ribeiro on DesimpaiN‘s final roster. Luisinho Alves, Douglinhas Melo, Ryan Lima and Lukinhas Santos join him up front; David Brinquinho and Matheus Bueno play in midfield; Danilo Alemão, Victor Bolt and Wellington Gigante in defence; and Kaiky Souza and Gustavo Luiz in goal. Ryan Lima, who has played for FURIA before, was also in the G3X FC squad at the Kings World Cup Clubs.
