Club World Cup fantasy football is designed to be a grand spectacle. And what would this kind of show be without the replays and highlights of goals? Today, I am examining the players responsible for those goals, the players you want on your team at the 2025 CWC.
Remember that all of the CWC games are part of free and private fantasy football contests in FootballCoin.
Top 10 Forwards for the Group Stage of the Fantasy Football Club World Cup
10. German Berterame (CF Monterrey)
There’s great talent available in the CWC that doesn’t belong to European or South American teams. German Berterame has impressed for this CF Monterrey team.
The Mexican side has looked ready for the challenge of any competitor at this tournament, and Berterame has been one of the best scoring forwards in fantasy football.
9. Luis Suarez (Inter Miami)
Luis Suarez isn’t just a star in Miami. He’s still the player that teammates, including Lionel Messi, rely on when the goals are needed. Picking Suarez has proven a great idea for all the fantasy football managers who have taken a chance on him. Will you be picking him for the knockout rounds as well?
8. Liam Delap (Chelsea)
Chelsea might have just needed a powerful number 9 stuck up front in order to get things to click. That’s what Liam Delap is, and that’s the reason why so many other clubs were interested in signing him this Summer. Initial reports suggest that the London side has received exactly what they ordered.
7. Sehrou Guirassy (Borussia Dortmund)
Sehrou Guirassy is a fantastic forward who, at times, looks like he’s slumming it by playing for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga. Thankfully, the 2025 CWC provides the player with a stage more suited to his talents.
6. Rayan Cherki (Manchester City)
Other than Erling Haaland, no new transfer has looked more instantly prepared to join the high-flying Manchester City organisation than Rayan Cherki.
A colossal talent with ego to spare, the Frenchman has hit the ground running and should be part of your fantasy football Club World Cup team.
5. Giorgian de Arrascaeta (Flamengo)
I’ve been saying it all along. All of you football fans should be watching the Brazilian Campeonato. The performances of the four Brazilian teams at the CWC have proven this.
Giorgian de Arrascaeta is a star back in South America and the CWC has allowed him the platform to showcase his considerable talent.
4. Randal Kolo Muani (Juventus)
Is the moment that Juventus is finally rebuilt? Will the 2025 CWC be remembered by Juve fans as the moment that it all changed?
One player who certainly seems much more confident than last season is Randal Kolo Muani. The former PSG striker is scoring goals and finally justifying Juve’s confidence in him.
3. Paulinho (Palmeiras)
Palmeiras, frankly, monopolises talent in the Brazilian league. And, while you’re likely to have heard of Estevao or Vitor Roque, typically, it is Paulinho who helps turn his side into a world-class team. And while the striker’s time at this CWC has been limited, I am still comfortably including him as one of the best fantasy football picks for the knockout rounds.
2. Erling Haaland (Manchester City)
Even on an off day, Erling Haaland can be one of the world’s best strikers. Yes, he needs the assistance of his teammates to shine. Sure, this Man City is undergoing a rebuild. But for pure goalscoring power, you can’t look past the Norwegian forward.
1. Vinicius Jr. (Real Madrid)
Vinicius Jr. might be upset about the limelight being stolen from him by the likes of Rodri or Kylian Mbappe. Still, arguably, there’s no better highly technical number 9 at this competition than the Brazilian. Isn’t he in your fantasy soccer team yet? What are you waiting for?
