Forwards
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kylian Mbappé | PSG | @Manchester City | 11.2M | PSG's best chance at scoring in this game even after his average performance in the previous match. |
| 2 | Neymar | PSG | @Manchester City | 11.6M | As if having just three forwards predicted to start wasn't already bad enough, all of them play away this week and Mbappe is still a doubt. |
| 3 | Karim Benzema | Real Madrid | @Chelsea | 10.4M | I expect Real Madrid to show a lot more intent in this game now that it a must win situation for them. |
Midfielders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kevin De Bruyne | Manchester City | Vs PSG | 11.4M | His playmaking talent is best reflected when he plays as a #10 but he isn't half bad as a striker either. |
| 2 | Jorginho | Chelsea | Vs Real Madrid | 6.3M | It's a toss-up at this point between which Chelsea midfielder does better. A player with ball-recovery potential might such as Jorginho might be better than a midfielder with goal-threat this week. |
| 3 | Phil Foden | Manchester City | Vs PSG | 7.4M | |
| 4 | Casemiro | Real Madrid | @Chelsea | 6.3M | Boring but offers a guaranteed floor of 3+ points over trying your luck with possible goal-scorers. |
| 5 | Angel Di Maria | PSG | @Manchester City | 8.9M |
Defenders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Antonio Rüdiger | Chelsea | Vs Real Madrid | 4.9M | Madrid were able to register just one shot on target in the first leg. |
| 2 | João Cancelo | Manchester City | Vs PSG | 6.1M | Being able to hold a striker such as Mbappé to 0 shots is a testament to how good the City defense is. |
| 3 | Ben Chilwell | Chelsea | Vs Real Madrid | 5.5M | |
| 4 | Sergio Ramos | Real Madrid | @Chelsea | 6.5M | Ramos will be a huge threat from set-pieces in this game and the team will need the captain to lead from the front if they are going to get a result from this game and qualify. |
| 5 | Marquinhos | PSG | @Manchester City | 6M | Least likely to keep a clean sheet but he is in some serious goal-scoring form with a goal in each of his last three appearances across all competitions. |
Goalkeepers
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Edouard Mendy | Chelsea | Vs Real Madrid | 5.5M | Nothing much that you can do when your opponents struggle to register shots on target. |
| 2 | Ederson Moraes | Manchester City | Vs PSG | 6M | |
| 3 | Thibaut Courtois | Real Madrid | @Chelsea | 6M | The return of Ramos should be a massive boost for Madrid in defense. |
| 4 | Keylor Navas | PSG | @Manchester City | 5.8M |
