Goal-keeper
Fraser Foster (8.5 Cr) has managed to make consistent saves in front of his goal but has not found a clean sheet in his recent matches which should keep him confident for this contest.
Defenders
Kyle Walker-Peters (9.5 Cr) has scored 1 goal with 3 assists in the season with the added potential to find his form in crucial games and against tougher oppositions.
Joel Matip (9.5 Cr) scored a crucial goal in the last match against Aston Villa and has managed to conduct the backline which will push him to move further in the absence of Van Dijk which makes him our prime choice.
Joel Gomez (8.5 Cr) has played limited matches this season but his presence has resulted in better performance as the left-back which could continue to create his contributions in this match.
Konstantinos Tsimikas (8.5 Cr) will be boosting with confidence after his winning penalty against Chelsea in the FA Cup final which could be channeled into his performance for this encounter.
Midfielders
James Ward Prowse (9.5 Cr) has scored 9 goals and created 5 assists for his team which makes him the leading goal scorer from his team and should be confident for this contest.
Sadio Mane (10 Cr) is a player the team depends on during crucial moments and he has been a consistent force to deliver that has resulted in 15 goals and 5 assists which makes him our prime choice for this encounter.
Naby Keita (9.5 Cr) can work his way as the creative playmaker which can allow him to keep most of the ball possession which can be used to his benefit in this match.
Forwards
Armando Broja (9.0 Cr) has been a crucial attacking threat from his team but has failed to make a significant contribution with his goal-scoring skills which was last seen in his match against Tottenham.
Diogo Jota (9.0 Cr) was an essential player in the first half of the season which has resulted in 15 goals and 6 assists which can continue to maintain order in the frontline.
Roberto Firmino (8.5 Cr) was able to make his way back in the finals and was able to attempt decent chances resulting in 5 goals and 3 assists in the limited game time which can improve drastically in this contest..
Captain And Vice-Captain
S.Mane is our captain because of his goal-scoring potential which can push the frontline.
J.Matip is our vice-captain because of his brilliant and consistent developments throughout the season.
Dream11 Team
Forster, Walker-Peters, Matip (VC), Gomez, Tsimikas, Ward-Prowse, Mane (C), Keita, Broja, Jota, Firmino
