A top pick, a sure thing, and a potential gamble: here are the forwards to consider for the second knockout round of the tournament.
The FIFA Club World Cup quarter-finals are set to kick off with the match between Fluminense and Al Hilal on Friday, July 4th at 9 PM CET. This means fantasy football managers must finalize their squads for the World Fantasy Championship before this deadline. Following our analysis of recommended goalkeepers, defenders, and midfielders, here are the 3 forwards (a top choice, a reliable option, and a speculative pick) you should consider for the competition`s second knockout stage.
The Top Pick
Harry Kane, who scored a brace in the Round of 16 match with Flamengo, will aim to be decisive again in the upcoming quarter-final against European champions PSG. The Englishman has scored three goals in the tournament so far (2 vs Flamengo, 1 vs Boca), adding an assist against the Argentine side for additional fantasy points. Having won his first title this year (the Bundesliga), the striker is now seeking his first international trophy. Our advice is to back him, despite Paris Saint-Germain`s form and quality. His price in the World Fantasy Championship is 91 credits.
The Certainty
Serhou Guirassy`s brace against Monterrey secured Borussia Dortmund`s place in the quarter-finals. In the next round, the German side will face Real Madrid, who defeated Juventus in the quarter-finals. The *Blancos* are the favorites, but they have rarely been overwhelming in the tournament and have made several defensive errors in their early games. Guirassy will be hoping for similar mistakes to further increase his goal tally, currently standing at 3 goals. To include the Yellow and Black striker in your squad, you`ll need 70 credits.
The Gamble
Marcos Leonardo has scored three goals in his last two matches: one against Pachuca and two in the impressive victory against Manchester City. After surprisingly eliminating Guardiola`s team, Al Hilal aims to build on this momentum in their theoretically more manageable match against Fluminense. Barring any surprises, the Brazilian forward is expected to be a key player in this clash, having scored in his team`s two most important matches of the competition. Given his current form and the team`s overall performance, Marcos Leonardo could be a good value option at a relatively low cost (31 credits) to complete your attacking lineup.
