Potential Game Changers:
Likely to score:
Captain and Vice-Captain Selection:
Eden Hazard: Madrid’s protracted move for the Belgian superstar finally came to reality as Chelsea reluctantly sold him this summer.
Expect big things from this little fellow.
Last Season’s Stats:
Karim Benzema: The Frenchman was the team’s highest goal scorer after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo last season. With Madrid not adding any more striker to their roster, the former Lyon player will be leading the line all season for the Los Blancos.
Luka Modric: The reigning FIFA player of the year has had a rather subdued season on a personal level. But there’s no denying that Modric is one of the finest Croatian to ever grace the game.
Iago Aspas: How critical he is for Celta Vigo could be seen from the fact that Vigo came crashing down from the European places to the relegation quagmire after the former Liverpool striker suffered an injury.
But he is fit now and will be looking for another strong start in front of the goal.
Suggested combination:
RM vs CEV Dream11 potential winner: Real Madrid are favourites to win the match.
