I think that Fernanda Tomé will not battle for anything on NT, since she don't have level to play there, plus she is doing a poor season compareted to the last one.

I like Camila Brait, a lot, but after her statments about retiring for NT (forever), I don't think we will see her anymore there, and that's a problem of course, because our best libero at the moment, imho, is Gabiru, and she is recovering from her ACL injury, Suelen is doing an ok season and Leia is not in her best, Tassia (Osasco's libero) is improving right now, and is problably the best libero on Superliga.

Setter's spot is the most solved for me, we will not see anything different that Roberta, Dani Lins or Fabíola. Dani always will be first choice for Zé Roberto, if he waited until the last moment for Fabíola in Rio, so he will do the same for his favorite setter. If she don't get ready, Roberta and Fabíola for sure will be the setters.

Naiane is a great setter, but she was injured most part of the season and when we thought she was fully recovered, they hired Carli Lloyd because she is not 100% to play, and Zé don't call players that is on bench, so I think her chances in NT this year are very low.

Macris has always been overrated, and we're seeing it this season, in which she has the chance to play in a big team and is doing absolutely nothing special, often being replaced by the pregnant and 39 y.o Karine.

I think that Kosheleva should leave the team, and it's not only because she had an poor season but also because she doesen't fit good with they. Eczacibasi lacks chemistry this season and the difference between the team playing the Champions League and on Turkish League just made this worst.

The #1 transfer for sure should be a local defensive OH, from the other hand if Garay didn't have signed with Praia she probably would fit good on the team.

About Thaisa, the CL classification is gonna be decisive, but honestly, I still want to see her playing abroad.

Jaque can't attack decently a ball anymore, sad to say but it's true, and even on background she wasn't doing great things.

Minas vs. Osasco was a good game, more emotionally than technically, but one of the best games of the season.

Dani Lins is playing worse season after season, okay that without Tandara the attack variations are reduced, but she lacks precision and her sets was damn obvious, she didn't know how to put Bjelica back on game after 4th set, who was doing a great game. Also a good game by Malesevic, both on attack and background.

Congrats to Minas girls, they deserved to win, especially Carol Gattaz and Rosamaria (who's comeback in tie break and killed it).


Dani Lins is planning to get pregnant at the end of this season, honestly, I hope that she retires from NT.

Praia only played until the half of second set, after that, Rio did what they wanted on court (as usual against Praia), Monique played well as Anne who had a good game on attack, congrats to the team.

I think that sooner or later Drussyla will take Anne's spot on team, she played awful in important games like against Osasco and even with teams with less expression. She had a terrible moment in last game, that was funny lol but terrible.

Hooker played AMAZING in last game, Minas overall it's getting better and better since she came in, even playing without Jaque until now.

Edinara (OH) 30

For me she is the most surprising (young) player of this season in Brazilian League, don't know why start the competition on bench, since she came in, São Caetano has been playing better.

I hope Scandicci can find another OH, both Cruz and Loda are weak for a duo with Meijners, and there are no words for Rondon, still the same imprecise setter.

I think that everyone agree that C. Bosetti should be on court instead of Marcon (even with this lost for Modena).

This wild card should be given to Serbia
