From Kolo Muani to Thuram: Players with the Highest Fantasy Averages
Juventus is preparing to face Real Madrid tonight in a crucial round of 16 match in the Club World Cup. Following two convincing wins against Al Ain and Wydad, the Bianconeri suffered a significant defeat to Manchester City. This loss allowed City to secure first place in the group, avoiding the challenging encounter with Real Madrid in the next round. Xabi Alonso`s Real Madrid squad, however, had a mixed performance in the group phase, looking less dominant against Al Hilal and Pachuca, though showing more strength against Salzburg.
To have a chance at progressing, coach Igor Tudor will require a top-tier performance from his players, especially those who have demonstrated their best form during the tournament so far. Let`s take a look at the five Juventus players who achieved the highest fantasy points average in the Club World Cup Fantasy Championship group stage.
Top 5 Fantasy Performers in the Group Stage
- Randal Kolo Muani (10.8 fantasy average): The French forward leads the list with the highest fantasy average. He earned a 14 rating against Al Ain by scoring a brace and received a 7.5 rating against Wydad with an assist. He did not receive a rating in the match against Manchester City.
- Kenan Yildiz (10.7 fantasy average): Yildiz concluded the group stage with an impressive fantasy average, arguably being Juventus`s most in-form player overall. The young Turk scored three goals in the first two matches (one vs Al Ain, two vs Wydad) and provided an assist against Pep Guardiola`s side.
- Francisco Conceição (9.3 fantasy average): Conceição also recorded a strong fantasy average. Similar to Kolo Muani, he scored a brace against Al Ain, earning a high fantasy rating of 13 for that performance. The Portuguese winger received a 5.5 rating against Wydad but was unrated against City.
- Dusan Vlahovic (9 fantasy average): The Serbian striker claims the fourth spot. Vlahovic managed to score against both Wydad and Manchester City. He did not receive a rating in the opening game against Al Ain.
- Khephren Thuram (7 fantasy average): Completing the top 5 is Khephren Thuram. The French midfielder received a rating in all three group matches and contributed significantly by providing two assists in the fixture against Al Ain.
