Club World Cup Fantasy 2025: Inter Best Picks, Predicted Line-up and Team Overview
Club World Fantasy 2025 is here! Continuing with our team previews, we take a look at the Inter best picks, predicted line-up and team overview.
Knowing how a team could line-up and their best assets could be absolutely key for success in Club World Cup Fantasy, so let’s dive in.
Team Overview
Inter Milan qualified for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup by being one of Europe’s highest-ranked clubs based on their performances in UEFA competitions from 2021 to 2024. Their consistent results during this period earned them enough ranking points to claim one of the 12 European spots in the expanded tournament.
This will be Inter’s second time competing in the Club World Cup — the first was back in 2010, when they won the tournament.
On paper it was a very strong performance from Inter both domestically and in Europe. The Italian giants secured second in Serie A and advanced all of the way to the Champions League final. However, this can also be seen as a failure – being in touching distance to winning two major trophies but falling shorting at the final hurdle.
Group and Fixtures
Inter come up against CA River Plate (ARG), Urawa Red Diamonds (JPN) and CF Monterrey (MEX) in Group E.
The Italian side have the following schedule:
- Matchday 1 – Monterrey
- Matchday 2 – Urawa Reds
- Matchday 3 – River Plate
lnter go into their opening match against Monterrey as heavy favourites. They are fully expected to win this game.
They then head into Matchday 2 with a massive advantage over Urawa Reds. Inter should comfortably win this game.
River Plate will be Inter’ toughest match of the Group Stage. That may be the case but Inter edge them in terms of odds.
Predicted line-up
Note: Asslani is set to leave, whilst manager Simeone Inzaghi has already departed. Bisseck and Calhanoglu are expected to miss the opening match. There is no telling if the new coach will stick with a back three formation.

Top Picks
There is no telling how Inter will set up at the back. But, that doesn’t take anything away from their elite defensive stats. Inter kept a huge eight clean sheets in their Champions League campaign, and managed 16 clean sheets in Serie A.
With the above in mind, and the fact we could see a back-three, along with their fixtures, investing could be beneficial. The cheapest route potentially into the defence is via centre-back Benjamin Pavard (€4.8m), who became crucial in his sides recent Champions League campaign.
There was previously lots of rotation under Inzaghi, so we should see much less. If that is the case then the safest in terms of minutes is likely to be Alessandro Bastoni (€5.6m), who is arguably one of the best in his position worldwide.
To invest in both defence and attack, wing-back Denzel Dumfries (€6.3m) stands out. The Dutchman managed a huge 20+ goals/assists across all competitions – making him one of the most offensively exciting in Europe in his position.
There is €1.3m difference between strikers Marcus Thuram (€8.5m) and Lautaro Martinez (€9.8m). Both are expected to play and both have produced similar output this season overall, but there is an argument to back suggest Martinez has the edge in terms of quality.
