Fantasy Football Tips

Captain Options

Karim Benzema – Benzema has been carrying Real Madrid’s attacking mantle for years now and is as reliable as ever. He has scored a goal in each of the Los Blancos’ last 3 games and has 13 goals and 5 assists in his 22 starts this season. He has 37 shots on target as well with 29 successful dribbles and a pass accuracy of 84%.

Fidel Chaves – Playing on the left-wing, Chaves has 4 goals and 3 assists this season and has been one of Elche’s better players this season. He has created 29 goal-scoring chances this season and has succeeded in 30 attempted dribbles while also whipping in 23 accurate crosses.

Differential Pick

Lucas Vazquez – Flexible anywhere on the right flank, Lucas Vazquez has been slotting in at right-back this season. Despite that, he has 2 goals and 4 assists so far while creating 43 goal-scoring chances. He also bagged the assist for Real’s equalizing goal against Real Sociedad last week. Vazquez has succeeded in 70% of his attempted dribbles while whipping in 22 accurate crosses, something Benzema will love to get on the end of.

RM vs ELC Dream 11 Teams 

Goalkeeper – Courtois
Defenders – Mendy, Vazquez (VC), Varane
Midfielders – Kroos, Morente, Guti, Marcone
Forwards – Rodrygo, Benzema (C), Boye

Likely Winner

The RM vs ELC Today Match Prediction is a must-win for Real Madrid if they want to close the gap between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona who have relatively easier fixtures too. The Los Blancos have found goals hard to come by this season and Elche will not make it any easier for them. Real Madrid should win the game but a smash and grab can not be expected. A hard-fought win should be on the cards for Zinedine Zidane’s men.
