Club World Cup Fantasy Matchday 5 Differentials
Looking to gain an edge? Then our Club World Cup Fantasy Matchday 5 differentials could be exactly to climb the ranks.
Differentials are players with under 5% ownership. If successful, differentials can help you boost up the ranks, with the help of scouting bonus (which is an additional two points).
Samuel Xavier – 1.2% Selected
Fluminense have been fantastic throughout their campaign so far. One of their best traits seems to be defence. The Brazilian side have managed an impressive three clean sheets in their first four matches – keeping shutouts against the likes of Dortmund, Sundowns and Inter.
Keeping clean sheets against effective frontlines is something Fluminense are accustomed to and they come up against another one in Al-Hilal this week. Wing-back Samuel Xavier (€4.2m) is evidently one of their safest options in terms of minutes. As well as clean sheet and scouting bonus potential, Xavier scored two and assisted one during the four matches prior to the Club World Cup.
Jhon Arias – 3.2% Selected
Fluminense may be very good defensively, but avoiding their attackers this week could be points dodging. Two goals scored against Inter was a statement – they can score against good opposition. Luckily they face a worst defence this week in Al-Hilal.
The Saudi side shipped 10 big chances in matches against Real Madrid and Manchester City, which makes them a target. Of the Fluminense attackers Jhon Arias (€6.2m) stands out. Taking set-plays gives Arias multiple routes to points, and that was reflected in his previous match against Inter where he produced two shots on target and four key passes which led to shooting opportunities.

Renan Lodi – 2.2% Selected
It may seem like we are offering up lots of options from the same match, but that’s because we are! The Fluminense v Al-Hilal game is stuffed with fantastic differentials and we have another one right here.
Fluminense have been brilliant, but they have also failed to score in two of their four matches. This could suggest clean sheet potential for Al-Hilal. Of their options, full-back Renan Lodi (€4.5m) stands out massively. Lodi bagged 10 attacking returns in the Saudi Pro League last season, so offers both defensive and offensive potential.
Reece James – 4.7% Selected
Our next pick teeters on the edge of differential status but even he rises in ownership, he is still going under the radar. Chelsea clash with Palmeiras this week, a side who although have impressed, have also failed to convince from an attacking perspective.
One route into the Blues’ backline is Reece James (€5.8m). As well as having good odds to come off early which bodes well for his clean sheet potential, James also takes some set pieces – one of which he scored in the previous game.
