Champions League Fantasy: Top 7 midfielders to choose

Manchester City v Liverpool - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final Second Leg

Marco Asensio - Real Madrid

Real Betis v Real Madrid - La Liga

Another forward option listed in midfield. Marco Asensio has started the season as part of a front three playing on the left wing. He has so far started all three games for Madrid but is yet to score. He does have an assist to his name though.

Talking about his European prospects, Asensio did not feature in every game for Madrid last season in the Champions League and scored only 1. With a new manager and a lack of alternatives, however, he would be expected to significantly better those returns this time around.

There are currently no other high potential high scoring options in Madrid at the moment. Modric and Kroos are basically being used as deep-lying playmakers by Lopetegui while Isco hasn't looked at his best recently.

Priced at €8, Asensio is a good bet to get those points in midfield from Real Madrid this season.
