Goal-keeper
E.Mendy (8.5 Cr) was brilliant in his premier league fixtures and should look to continue his form in the champions league as a clean-sheet would be a priority.
Defenders
R.James (8.5 Cr) was red-carded for a potential handball in his match against Liverpool and could return with a fresh prospect as he was also a part of the England squad during the qualifiers.
M.Alonso (8.5 Cr) seems to have understood the left wing-back requirements of the squad and should be able to play this match with better tenacity in this fixture.
D.Lovren (8.5 Cr) has been brilliant with his defensive ability and could sometimes help the attacking side with his ability to create chances which could help the team in this match.
Midfielders
M.Kovacic (8.5 Cr) has already scored a goal along with 2 assists in 4 premier league matches that makes him a crucial addition to this squad.
H.Ziyech (9.0 Cr) could start the game and score a goal as he did in the Super Cup which can boost his confidence and help the team with a crucial contribution.
A.Erokhin (9.5 Cr) has already scored 5 goals and 1 assist in 7 RPL matches which shows his improving form makes him a potential game-changer.
D.Kuzyayev (9.0 Cr) is another player who has provided 2 assists in the last 6 matches that make him an important player to handle the Zenit attacking.
Forwards
R.Lukaku (10.5 Cr) is not new to this contest as he scored 4 goals last season and looks in top form this year with a team that promises goals and manages its defense.
K.Havertz (9.5 Cr) scored the winning goal in the champions league finals with major improvements this season that makes him an important player for this contest.
A.Dzyuba (10 Cr) had 20 goals last season and has started his season with 3 assists in 7 matches this season which still makes him a decent contributor for his team with chances to improve this season.
Captain And Vice-Captain
R.Lukaku will be our captain because of his current form and goal-scoring skills.
R.James will be our vice-captain because of his ability to cause chaos on the right side of the pitch.
