Club World Cup fantasy football has already provided entertainment beyond expectations. But if there were to be a couple of other surprises before the final prize is given out.
That’s well worth considering as Brazil’s Palmeiras take on the richer, more famous Chelsea with the view to bringing the trophy to South America. Who will you be picking for your fantasy football team? Here are a few suggestions.

Fantasy Football Picks
Pedro Neto (Chelsea) – It’s often been said during recent years that Chelsea has an endless supply of money at its disposal and no set number of squad players. Still, Pedro Neto really looks willing to make the best of the opportunities that he’s being given. He’s been largely Chelsea’s best player at the 2025 CWC. And should the Londoners manage to win this, supporters are bound to associate the victory with Neto’s performances.
Hercules (Fluminense) – The Brazilians already have some experience of knocking out big spenders Al Ahly, and will feel confident that they can do the same against the wealthy Premier League side, Chelsea.
Hercules scored a memorable goal in the last victory. And suspension to midfielder Martinelli will, likely, mean that Hercules will get a chance in the starting line-up and the opportunity to shine. Great pick for your fantasy football draft!
Marc Cucurella (Chelsea) – The Spanish full-back has just as many supporters as he has detractors. But one thing is beyond any doubt. Cucurella has earned experience playing for high stakes and winning trophies. He’ll eye another one with the Club World Cup, and his presence may prove invaluable. Great pick!
German Cano (Fluminense) – The Brazilians haven’t just made it to the semi-finals while relying on skill alone. Grit, determination and a strong tactical know-how have also helped. And while the veteran striker, German Cano, is useful in front of goal, it’s his ability to read the game and to hold onto the ball that has proven his great asset. This one may be a long shot, but it’s still a good pick for your fantasy football team.
