Goal-keeper
Joe Hart (8.5 Cr) has conceded 4 goals with 4 saves and no clean sheets in the last 2 UCL games which should allow him to keep focus on this contest which can allow him to showcase a stronger role.
Defenders
Willi Orban (9.0 Cr) was able to showcase his talents last year but is yet to make his presence known as he can be a huge influence in the backline which can be witnessed in this contest.
Mohamed Simakan (8.0 Cr) can play a central role with wonderful tackles along with the ability to create counter-attacking chances which has earned him 1 goal and makes him our prime choice for this encounter.
Greg Taylor (8.0 Cr) is a wonderful driving force for the backline along with his goal this season which should keep him confident to maintain their position in this match.
Midfielders
Dominik Szoboszlai (9.0 Cr) was able to maintain amazing composure in their last match against Real Madrid which resulted in several tackles won and could keep him motivated for this game.
Emil Forsberg (7.5 Cr) is a fantastic talent who is yet to make his mark in this tournament with this match acting as a perfect opportunity to showcase his attacking potential.
Callum McGregor (8.5 Cr) has been decent yet consistent with his contributions in the tournament with several defensive contributions mainly from his tackles and interceptions.
Reo Hatate (5.5 Cr) was able to create an important assist for the team in the last match and should be able to carry more going forward as he aims to work for the team which makes him a crucial contributor.
Forwards
Christopher Nkunku (9.0 Cr) attempted 2 shots on target but failed to convert his chances in the last match which could be well managed with their improving form in play.
Timo Werner (8.5 Cr) looks more comfortable and focused on improving his attacking play as witnessed in the Bundesliga which can only help him develop in this contest.
Kyogo Furuhashi (8.0 Cr) can make several attempts on goal but is yet to work on his conversion rate which will be tested to the limit in this crucial UCL fixture.
Captain And Vice-Captain
T.Werner will be our captain because of his fantastic goal-scoring potential.
M.Simakan will be our vice-captain because of his ability to manage the ball in attack and defense.
