Top Fantasy Picks: Midfielders

Now we focus on midfielders, here is the list of the top Fantasy Midfielders from the Group Stage:

Arsenal Star Mesut Özil (9.3) is surprisingly the top midfield scorer, although he is usually more of an assist provider, being the playmaker, he scored 4 times, including a hattrick against Ludogorets. Next is Porto's Andre Silva (6.9), who is a great Fantasy option as he plays as a striker and takes penalties as well. You could say the same for Riyad Mahrez (8.1), Leicester City's winger, who takes penalties and direct free-kicks too. Arda Turan (7.1) was a fantastic option in game week 6, but is not a good option going forward as he is very unlikely to get much game time. Yannick Carrasco (7.3) completes the top 5 and he will be a big hope to provide points in Atletico Madrid's attack.

Top 10 Midfielder Picks for the Last 16  

1. Miralem Pjanić (7.5)
The Bosnian turned up to be a great signing for Juventus and as they have a favorable fixture in the Last 16 we are tipping him to prove his value. He has great potential for assists and is also a very good free-kick taker so he is dangerous for goals as well.

2. Yannick Carrasco (7.3)
The Belgian is in great form this season and we believe he will provide a big threat from the left wing for Atleti against Bayer Leverkusen who do not keep many clean-sheets.

3. Luka Modrič (7.1)
Luka Modrič had some injury problems this season, but we think he will show his best again in the knockout rounds. He is very important for Real Madrid's attack as he is the main playmaker along Toni Kroos, providing chances for Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema.

5. Arjen Robben (8.4)
6. Julian Draxler (8.5)
7. Marek Hamšik (8.5)
8. Mesut Ozil (9.3)
9. Andres Iniesta (7.9)
10. Andre Silva (6.9)
