The Dream11 team has been updated.
Match details:
Tournament: Ligue 1
Venue: Stade du Moustoir
Date: Wednesday, 6th January 2021
Time: 11:30 PM IST
Preview:
Monaco are currently 6th in the table with 27 points from 17 matches while FC Lorient are 18th with 12 points from 17 matches. Lorient have been at the sea of late -- their attack is floundering and only 2 teams have conceded more goals in the league to date. Monaco have often been unable to play a first-choice XI off late owing to suspensions and the break would have helped their thin squad get a much-needed breather.
Probable starting XI:
FC Lorient:
Paul Nardi (GK), Jonathan Delaplace, Julien Laporte, Jeremy Morel, Vincent Le Goff, Armand Lauriente, Laurent Abergel, Thomas Monconduit, Yoane Wissa, Adrian Grbic, Terem Moffi.
Monaco:
Vito Mannone (gk), Caio Henrique, Guillermo Maripan, Axel Disasi, Ruben Aguilar, Sofiane Diop, Aurelien Tchouameni, Youssouf Fofana, Gelson Martins, Kevin Volland, Wissam Ben Yedder.
Fantasy breakdown:
FC Lorient:
Adrian Grbic has 3 goals in his 16 appearances for Lorient this season in Ligue 1. He has averaged 1.3 shots per game and scored in their last game against Nice.
Yoane Wissa is their leading scorer with 5 goals and he also has 1 assist in his 17 matches for Lorient in Ligue 1. He has an average of 1.8 shots and 0.6 key passes per game.
Julien Laporte is the pick of the defenders with his dominance at the back. On average he puts in 2.4 tackles, 2.5 interceptions, 3.2 clearances, and 51 passes per game.

Top picks:
Must-haves:
- Adrian Grbic
- Yoane Wissa
- Julien Laporte
- Kevin Volland
- Wissam Ben Yedder
- Ruben Aguilar
Worth a shot:
- Armand Lauriente
- Laurent Abergel
- Sofiane Diop
- Gelson Martins
Captaincy options:
- Wissam Ben Yedder: He is the joint 6th highest scorer and the joint 7th highest provider in Ligue 1 this season. He has 2 assists in his last 2 games in the league and is our top pick for the armband.
- Kevin Volland: He has 7 goals and 3 assists in his 15 Ligue 1 matches for Monaco this season and averages 1.3 shots to go with 0.9 key passes per game in the league. He has scored twice in his last two games and is a good bet to add to his tally here.
- Yoane Wissa: He is their top scorer as mentioned earlier with 5 goals in his 17 matches this season. Wissa isn’t in the best of form at this moment with just 1 goal in his last 4 games but he still deserves some captaincy consideration.
