FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Fantasy managers can theoretically get up to eight shots at nailing the captaincy in Matchday 3.

As is the case in UEFA Champions League (UCL) Fantasy, you can ‘twist’ and shift the armband to someone else.

But unlike UCL Fantasy, you can switch your captains multiple times rather than just once.

With fixtures kicking off simultaneously in each group in Matchday 3, there are eight timeslots – rather than the 16 of Matchdays 1 and 2 – to consider.

MATCHDAY 3 CAPTAINS: DAY BY DAY

Here’s our early stab at the best armband opportunities in Matchday 3, with the caveat that late-developing team news (eg from the pre-match press conferences) could alter some of the picks later in the week.

Some of the names below feature in our Scout Picks or differentials, which go into more detail explaining the rationale behind our selections.

    Anyone know why game wouldn't let me change captaincy from TAA (22 June) to Haaland (23 June) last round ?

      Did you try and do it while the Real game was stil going or not long after? Or maybe Haaland was your 12th man chip? (you can't captain 12th man)

    Do we think cherki is going to be among the nailed city players or we must expect rotation?

      Has pep ever had a nailed on winger at City?

      new signings usually have a period of bedding in when they join City

        Gw 3 do you think could be a good entry for cherki?

          possibly after the 1st international break , we can judge better which players are hitting form and adapting to Pep

            I think if cherki starts on thursday vs juventus we will have high chances of him starting since gw1. Will have had a full preseason to adapt in my opinion.
