Fantasy Team Picks

Goal-Keeper

Atalanta are bound to plunder Thibaut Courtois’ goal but we do envisage the Real Madrid shot stopper recording a solid amount of saves.

Defenders

Given the nature of both of these teams’ backline, a cleansheet looks the last thing either side will be emerging with. It sees us limit our side to the measly three picks in this docket with all being of the attacking minded defenders.

It sees us begin with Ferland Mendy from Real Madrid, a player who has embarked on marauding runs into the opposition’s side of the pitch.

Atalanta on the other hand will see their sturdy CBs, Cristian Romero and Berat Djimsiti be inducted in our unit owing to the two cleansheets they recorded against Ajax and Liverpool.

Midfielders

He might have only the one assist in the Champions League till now but Toni Kroos dictated proceedings in attack for Real Madrid.

Luka Modric who has the one goal and Casemiro will be completing the triad from the club. Atalanta on the other hand as ever see us immerse in the services of their wingback, Robin Gosens, a player who has become the talk of the town owing to his versatile skill set.

Remo Freuler and his ability to scour past tight spaces see him complete the duo from the club.

Strikers

The strike partnership of Duvan Zapata and Luis Muriel has scored the four goals for Atalanta to see it be a must have pick for us.

Captain And Vice-Captain

Toni Kroos and his ability to both score and assist makes him our captain while Zapata is the vice-captain.
