Goal-keeper
Dominik Livkovic (8.0 Cr) has been a responsible figure in front of his goal with greater chances of keeping his team in place which will be tested well against the strong Argentine attack.
Defenders
Nicolas Otamendi (8.5 Cr) can provide important runs to find counter-attacking chances which should allow him to give his all in the absence of Acuna which could push him further.
Nahuel Molina (8.0 Cr) scored his first goal in the last match added with fantastic crossing chances which can allow him to provide evident assists to improve his contributions in this crucial match.

Luka Modric (9.0 Cr) has been a responsible player for his team with decent yet consistent contributions throughout which could play an important role in this crucial fixture.
Ivan Perisic (9.0 Cr) can score goals but lacks the consistency to keep scoring in every match which can be worked on considering his potential to play well against tougher opposition.
