Club World Cup Fantasy Matchday 3 Budget Gems
Looking for cheap players for the new round? Well right here is where you need to be! We take a look at some of the best Club World Cup Fantasy Matchday 3 budget gems.
Budget players are vital when it comes to building a team. As well as helping fit in the more premium options, they also have the potential to perform well, so let’s dive in!
Agustín Marchesín
By now you have probably seen Boca Juniors in every article read ahead of Matchday 3. Their match against Auckland City is essential in regards to fantasy investment. This is because we are very likely to see plenty of goals and a clean sheet from the Argentinian side.
There are several solid routes into the Boca Juniors, but none more cheaper than Agustín Marchesín (€4.1m). The 37-year-old appears to have been given the number one role between the sticks, so he could well be a gift for managers seeking a goalkeeper return this week.
Porto

Porto have been frustrating for CWC Fantasy managers. As well as drawing their first match against Palmeiras, they also went onto lose to Inter Miami immediately after that. This has placed them in a precarious position this week as a win will be crucial.
Al Ahly lay ahead for Porto though, which is a good sign for their assets. Al Ahly are yet to score a single goal in the Group Stage thus far, which indicates potential for the Porto backline. One member of it is the attacking Francisco Moura (€4.1m) who managed 10+ goals and assists last season.
Al Ahly have also been very ropey defensively, so buying into the Porto attack may be a wise move. Penalty taker and striker Samu Aghehowa (€4.2m) is just one of several strikers who could do well. Left-winger Rodrigo Mora (€4.2m) is another viable option with a low price-tag.
Waldemar Anton
Budget shouldn’t be an issue at this point of the competition, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t utilise cheap gems with low ownership to propel our rank. Another way we can achieve this is by selecting Waldemar Anton (€4.6m).
Dortmund have a great fixture this week against Ulsan HD, the same side who lost to Mamelodi Sundowns 1-0 in the opening round. After keeping a clean sheet against a strong Palmeiras side in Matchday 1 don’t be surprised to see them repeat that again, which could benefit centre-back Anton who has scouting bonus.
