Captain Options

Cristiano Ronaldo is in great form for club and country and is the obvious captain choice. Your rank can take a severe beating if you don’t own him.

Bruno Fernandes is a must-have for your IRE vs POR Dream11 Teams. He always eyes the killer pass and has great chemistry with Ronaldo up front.

Differential Pick 

Joao Cancelo can be an excellent differential for your dream11 teams. He can operate at both full-back positions and has created a lot of chances in the league.
