Team Focus: Porto

Porto were solid in the Group stage, finished second in the group behind newcomers Leicester City. They face a difficult task in the next round as they have drawn Juventus.

Goalkeeper & Defence
Legendary keeper Iker Casillas kept 3 clean sheets and is in much better form than at the start of his Porto career. Alex Telles (4.8) is a fine choice for your fantasy team, he gets forward a lot and got 2 assists in the Group stage. Ivan Marcano (5.0) and Felipe (4.5) are the centre-backs while Maxi Pereira (5.1) and Miguel Layun (5.4) compete for the remaining position in the defence.

Midfield
Forward Andre Silva is classified as a midfielder and was therefore a must have in your Fantasy team in the Group stage. He scored 4 goals and is in the Dream team of the first stage of the competition. Otavio (4.5), Diego Jota (4.9) and Oliver Torres (6.0) are other options in midfield, but we strongly suggest  to keep faith in Andre Silva, he is Fantasy gold.

Attack
Jesus Corona (5.8) is the only player to mention in attack, he managed 1 goal and one assist in the Group stage. The forward position is taken by Andre Silva as already mentioned in the Midfield section.

Prediction
Porto will have to put in a truly special performance agains Juventus if they are to eliminate them. We  believe this is highly unlikely and Porto will end their run in the Last 16.
