World Cup Fantasy MD4 Scout Picks- Defenders
Argentina have conceded 0 big chances from 3 games and have 2 clean sheets. Australia will find it hard to score against Argentina which makes Molina($5.5 million) an exciting option to consider in MD4.
Theo Hernandez tops the list for most chances created among defenders(9) which is also the joint second overall only behind Greizmann who has created 10 chances. This includes creating 2 big chances which is also the highest among defenders. His linkup with Mbappe is excellent and is a no-brainer option in our matchday 4 scout picks team.
Jordi Alba is one of the key players for Spain and he was rested for the final game against Japan and should go straight back into the team to face Morroco. He’s had decent attacking threat, assisting three goals which is the highest amongst defenders. Overall he has created four chances, and one big chance. He’s also second for touches in the final 3rd amongst defenders registering 83 final 3rd touches. He’s also registered the most passes(65) amongst defenders in the final third.
England are defensively one of the most solid sides this tournament and are expected to keep a clean sheet vs Senegal. Shaw is nailed to start at LB and will also be on some corners. Shaw also has a great attacking threat and a liking for big games- In his last 7 matches for England in major competitions(Euros and World Cup), Shaw has 4 assists and 1 goal.
Shaw is also slightly more attacking compared to Trippier in this world cup. Shaw has 68 final third touches and 42 final third passes whereas Trippier has 51 final third touches and 31 final third passes. Shaw also has 4 pen box touches whereas Tripper has only one pen box touch in the group stages.
Dumfries wraps up the defenders selection on the matchday 4 scout picks blog, Netherlands have conceded only one goal and one big chance in three games keeping 2 clean sheets during the group stages. The defensive strength of the Dutch defence combined with the attacking power of Dumfries makes him an essential option for MD4.

Olmo is one of the best midfield options in World cup fantasy, he has had 18 penalty box touches, 10 goal attempts, 3 big chances, and five chances created. At 8 million only he’s a great mid-priced midfielder to consider.
Bruno Fernandes($9.5 million) has been one of the star performers for Portugal. He has scored 2 goals and assisted 2 more in just two games. He’ll be key for Portugal against Switzerland and offers both goal-scoring and assist potential making him a great option for world cup fantasy matchday 4.

World Cup Fantasy MD4 Scout Picks- Forwards
Messi was brilliant against Mexico even though he missed a penalty and did not get a goal or assist. So far in this Worldcup, he has the most shots on target(8) amongst all forwards and second most for all key attacking metrics with only Mbappe being above him. He’s up against Australia and could be in for a big haul considering the fact that Australia concedes a lot of chances centrally which is where Messi operates.
