Club World Cup Fantasy Matchday 2 Differentials
Looking to gain an edge? Then our Club World Cup Fantasy Matchday 2 differentials could be exactly what you need early on.
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).
António Silva
Benfica will most likely be a standout team in regards to investment ahead of the new round. Although drawing their opening match of the competition, they come up against amateur club Auckland City next.
Their 10-0 defeat appears to have sounded the alarm to CWC Fantasy managers, so players like Nicolas Otamendi could become hot property. However, one player likely to go under the radar is fellow centre-back António Silva (€4.7m). Not only does Silva look set for a clean sheet, but he also has just 1.6% ownership, which means he is eligible for scouting bonus.
Orkun Kökçü
Benfica assets should be top of every CWC Fantasy managers shortlists this week. Auckland City’ 10-0 loss against Bayern was a huge indication they are a very poor team defensively, it couldn’t be any more clearer that the New Zealand side are the best team to target in the competition.
You won’t get scouting bonus for attackers players like Angel Di Maria, Kerem Aktürkoglu and Vangelis Pavlidis, but you will for midfielder Orkun Kökçü (€6.6m). The Türkiye international managed seven goals and seven assists in his latest league campaign, and he also registered an assist in his opening Club World Cup match. It also helps his appeal that he takes corners for his side.

Joaquín Piquerez
Palmeiras did very well to keep out Porto in Matchday 1 and the Brazilian side have a much less demanding fixture next up as they clash with Al Ahly. Al Ahly failed to convince in their opener against Inter Miami, and they also lost a key player in their attack due to injury.
The above suggests that Palmeiras could keep a clean sheet and Joaquín Piquerez (€5.1m) is one of several players who would benefit from that. As well as clean sheet potential, Piquerez can be a major attacking threat. Playing at wing-back, which forces him into advanced positions, the Uruguayan also takes free-kicks and a share of penalties.
Kingsley Coman
Bayern won’t play Auckland City every week, so we can’t expect them to repeat their 10-0 victory against Boca Juniors in Matchday 2. However, after their latest 2-2 draw versus Benfica, we could still see the Bavarians put several goals past their opposition.
If something isn’t broke you don’t need to fix it, a phrase that could be relevant this week. In-game midfielder Kingsley Coman (€8.8m) stole the show in the opening half against Auckland City – bagging a huge 18 points for scoring twice and creating an assist. So, don’t be surprised to see him start and have success once more.
