A Top Pick, a Sure Thing, and a Gamble: Here are the Midfielders to Consider for the Tournament`s Grand Finale
Dream debut for Joao Pedro: Chelsea`s new signing, starting immediately, scored a brace against Fluminense and propelled the Blues into the final. On the opposite side, PSG left no chance for Real Madrid, dominating with a commanding 4-0 victory and securing their place in the competition`s climactic match. With the final now imminent, the seventh and final matchday of the World Fantasy Championship is also drawing near. After reviewing the top goalkeepers, defenders, and forwards to include, it`s time to focus on the midfield: here are three midfielders to consider (a top tier option, a reliable performer, and a potential long shot) to help you clinch the final win.
The Top Pick
A goal on debut against Atletico Madrid, a decisive assist in the win over Inter Miami, followed by a starring performance against Real Madrid in the semi-final: Fabian Ruiz (valuation 60 credits) has been one of PSG`s standout players in this Club World Cup. His statistics are impressive: 3 goals and 1 assist in five matches. While he`s had less impactful games, such as against Bayern Munich and Botafogo, when he`s in form, the former Napoli midfielder demonstrates his ability to make a difference with tactical intelligence and composure in front of goal. If he replicates the brilliant performance shown against Los Blancos in the final, Chelsea could face a very difficult evening.
The Sure Thing
A goal on debut against Los Angeles FC, two assists against Esperance, then two solid 7/10 ratings in the matches against Palmeiras and Fluminense: Enzo Fernández is undoubtedly the reliable cornerstone of Chelsea`s midfield. Including him in your squad requires 57 credits, a significant investment, but one justified by his performance so far and his potential to earn bonus points. In the final, against a compact and well-drilled PSG side, finding space will be challenging. However, if any midfielder in the Blues squad can conjure a decisive play, it`s him. With his technique, vision, and personality, Enzo is the leader who can spark Chelsea at the most critical juncture.
The Gamble
In PSG`s formidable setup, Senny Mayulu has only featured prominently in the first three matchdays, subsequently spending three consecutive games on the bench. Yet, on his debut against Atletico Madrid, he immediately left his mark with a goal, proving he can deliver when it matters. Valued at just 7 credits, he is the least expensive midfielder among the Parisian stars, but he has already shown composure and personality, even in the Champions League final, where he was ready when called upon in a crucial moment. If he gets an opportunity in the final, he could complete his impressive run and bring further joy to PSG fans. For those seeking a last-minute surprise pick, Mayulu is a low-cost gamble that could yield significant rewards.
