Villarreal vs Liverpool – Top Fantasy Picks on BalleBaazi: Champions League Second Leg 2021-22

With Liverpool set to visit Estadio de la Cerámica to face Villarreal for the second of their Champions League semi-final, the English side will be looking to reach yet another Champions League final under Jurgen Klopp. The first leg was a comfortable win for Klopp’s side but with the score being 2-0, Villarreal are not out of the tie just yet. So, let’s have a look at the best picks for your fantasy team on BalleBaazi.

Goalkeepers

Alisson – 8.5

The in-form Liverpool keeper is surely the best choice for this position. His form has been crucial in Liverpool’s great season across all competitions.

Alisson earned a player score of 20 points in the 1st leg against Villarreal. A game where he hardly had anything to do as Villarreal were poor going forward.

He also collected an impressive score of 39 points against Inter in the first leg of their round of 16 and is the ideal pick as goalkeeper for this game.

Defenders

Trent Alexander Arnold – 9

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s creative influence on this Liverpool side is unquestionable. Also, his defensive improvements have gone under the radar due to his brilliance at the other end of the pitch.

Against Inter in the second leg, Trent scored 76 points and in the first leg against Villarreal, he scored a stunning 81 points.

He completed 4 tackles against Villarreal and recorded a passing accuracy of 86% and remains the best pick out of all defenders for this game.

Virgil Van Dijk – 8.5

Arguably the world’s best defender, there is hardly anything to doubt about selecting Virgil Van Dijk. Liverpool with Van Dijk and without him look a completely different side.

In the first leg against Benfica in the quarter-finals, he earned a score of 46 points and against Villarreal in the last game, he scored an impressive 58.

He is a valuable option to pick in defence as Liverpool look to restrict Villareal to another clean sheet.

Pau Torres – 9

Easily one of Villarreal’s most important players, Pau Torres is a fine young defender. Not only is he a solid defender but he’s also excellent in his distribution.

In the second leg against Juventus, he scored a superb 62 points as the Spanish side successfully knocked out the Italian giants. In the first leg against Bayern Munich in the semi-final, he scored 43 as his side kept an unlikely clean sheet against the free-scoring strikers of Bayern.

Midfielders

Fabinho – 9

Another key figure in Liverpool’s spine is their Brazilian midfielder Fabinho.

Fabinho was excellent in the first leg as he earned a score of 54 points against Emery’s side. He recorded 3 tackles and 5 interceptions in last week’s game.

He is arguably one of Klopp’s most trusted and consistent players in the squad. He will be key for Liverpool as they aim to keep another clean sheet in the second leg.

Daniel Parejo – 8.5

Since joining Villarreal, Daniel Parejo has been one of their most consistent performers for the Spanish side. His displays in this season’s Champions League were exceptional.

In the first leg against Juventus, he scored 58 points and 48 in the second leg. Against Bayern in the first leg, he collected 57 points with his all-around performance in the midfield.

Parejo is a useful pick in midfield and is the driving force in the heart of the Villareal lineup.

Strikers

Luis Diaz – 9

Liverpool’s January signing, Luis Diaz has been a breath of fresh air at Anfield. He has brought added quality and firepower to Liverpool’s attack.

Against Benfica in the quarter-final first leg, he scored an exceptional 77 points. In the game against Villarreal, he scored 55. He is in great form of late and picking him in your team is likely to get you results.

Sadio Mane – 8.5

Sadio Mane has had a prolific season and could finish it by creating history for Liverpool. Since returning from winning the AFCON, his form has improved considerably.

He scored 58 points against Benfica in the first leg and his contribution in front of the goal has been key for his side. He scored 1 goal in the win against Benfica and scored a crucial goal at Villarreal to double Liverpool’s advantage going into the second leg.

Captain & Vice-Captain Pick

For this game, the best choice for your captain pick is Liverpool’s dynamic right back, Trent Alexander-Arnold. In the most recent Champions League game against Villarreal, his captain score was 162 points which makes him a clear favourite for this pick.

You can also go ahead with Sadio Mane or Luis Diaz as vice-captain. They’re likely to hit the target and be amongst the goals. But yes, to score the maximum fantasy points on BalleBaazi.com, you can choose between the three Liverpool players.
