Club World Cup Fantasy 2025: Juventus 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 Juventus 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.
Team Overview
Juventus qualified for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup through UEFA’s ranking system, which allocates places based on club performance in the UEFA Champions League over a four-year period (2019–2023).
While Juventus did not win the Champions League during that time, they consistently participated in the competition and advanced to the knockout stages multiple times, earning ranking points. UEFA was given 12 slots for the 2025 Club World Cup, and four of them were awarded to the Champions League winners between 2021 and 2024.
The Italian giants had an underwhelming season overall. As well as being knocked out of the Champions League by PSV in the Round of 16, they also finished fourth in Serie A (12 points off first place Napoli).
Their end of season form was fairly good though. Juventus won three, drew two and lost one of their final six matches of the 24/25 season. In that period they scored nine goals, shipped five goals and kept just two clean sheets.
Group and Fixtures
Juventus come up against Manchester City (ENG), Wydad AC (MAR) and Al Ain FC (UAE) in Group G.
In terms of their schedule, it’s as follows:
- Matchday 1 – Al-Ain
- Matchday 2 – Wydad AC
- Matchday 3 Manchester City
Juventus head into both Matchday 1 and 2 as heavy favourites. The Italian side should win both of these fixtures comfortably.
However, Matchday 3 will be the ultimate test for them. Juventus are underdogs in their meeting with Manchester City, but you can’t rule out them picking up a positive result.
Fan Comments
“Juventus, as all other Italian teams, takes the CWC very seriously. Italian fans and media have historically always cared about the Intercontinental Cup/Toyota Cup/Club World Cup. Winners like to adopt the “World Champions” moniker, they’ll put a patch on their jersey, Gazzetta dello Sport will have a huge headline, and if they win, they will probably have an open bus parade”.
“In the case of Juventus, there’s the added incentive of trying to finish the season with at least one trophy after a very disappointing season: fourth in Serie A and barely scraped into the CL, out in the first knockout round to PSV in the Champions League, and out to lowly ranked Empoli in the Coppa Italia”.
Predicted line-up
Note: The wingback positions are in flux: Weah, Conceicao, Savona could see playing time there, as well as Koopmeiners (he’d play AM, Nico on the wing).

Top Picks
Goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio (€5.3m) could be a great option if you’re into a premium goalkeeper for the early rounds. He is also priced lower than almost all other European Goalkeepers.
For even cheaper you could go for centre-back Federico Gatti (€4.9m), if fit, is a *very* appealing pick at that price. As well as having a good chance of clean sheets, he doesn’t mind the occasional bullet header.
Other defenders worth considering: Andrea Cambiaso (€5.3m), he plays pretty advanced, and could be on some set pieces with the potential for assists and goals. But he’s struggled for fitness the whole second part of the season.
In attack, Kenan Yildiz (€7.3m) and Nico Gonzalez (€6.5m) are listed as forwards in the game. There’s really not much worth looking at here beacause of that.
There appears to be rotation between both Randal Kolo Muani (€8m) and Dusan Vlahovic (€7.5m) too, so investing holds risk.
