From Donnarumma to Dembélé: Discover the Players with the Lowest Fantasy Scores in the FIFA Club World Cup Final
Chelsea emerged victorious in the Club World Cup, stunning favorites PSG with a resounding 3-0 defeat. All goals were scored in the first half: a brace from star player Cole Palmer and a decisive goal from João Pedro, also assisted by Palmer, who had already proven crucial in the semi-final. Enzo Maresca`s side thus claims another prestigious trophy, adding it to their collection after winning the Conference League just weeks prior. While Chelsea players undoubtedly delighted fantasy football managers who invested in them for the Fantasy Club World Cup, the opposite sentiment held true for those who banked on PSG`s squad. Let`s now unveil the Flop XI (4-3-3 formation) for Matchday 7.
Goalkeeper
The goalkeeper who recorded the lowest fantasy score was, predictably, Donnarumma. Despite a personal rating of 6.5, the PSG shot-stopper conceded 3 goals, resulting in a dismal final fantasy score of 3.5.
Defense
The Flop XI`s defense is exclusively composed of PSG players. Beraldo received the lowest fantasy score in this line, with a 4. Nuno Mendes fared only slightly better, earning a 4.5, a consequence of his 5 rating combined with a yellow card. Completing the defensive line are Hakimi and Marquinhos, both with `pure` scores of 5.
Midfield
The midfield of the Flop XI is also entirely dominated by the French team`s players. João Neves registered the lowest fantasy score among them, with a 3, which resulted from a 4 rating and a red card expulsion. His Portuguese compatriot and midfield partner, Vitinha, also had a negative performance, earning a 5. Fabián Ruiz rounds out the midfield with a 5.5.
Attack
In the attacking line, Dembélé received the lowest fantasy score, finishing with a 4, a rating derived from a 4.5 score and a yellow card. The remaining two attacking spots are contested by Neto, Doué, and Kvaratskhelia, all of whom received a 5 (the two PSG players` scores were `pure` 5s, while the Portuguese Chelsea player received a 5.5 with a yellow card).
