The big three Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, and Romelu Lukaku who are potential darlings of their respective football clubs have the potential to turn the outcome of any matches single-handedly on their day.

Kevin De Bruyne: This Belgian midfielder is one of the main reason for Manchester City's successful campaign. With 44 assists, and 21 goals in his 101 appearances is certainly one of the most valuable players in the world. Belgium will rely heavily on his services. De Bruyne is a great passer and will dictate the play from midfield with his creativity and create plenty of chances going forward.

Eden Hazard: The main man of Chelsea is certainly one of the players to look out for. With his dribbling, pace, and finishing, Hazard is simply a nightmare for any defender. He will do all the hard work running down the flanks, providing delightful crosses, and also will also be on the score sheet on any given day.

Romelu Lukaku: At only 25 years of age, Lukaku is the country’s all-time leading goal scorer. Not shy of his big-money move he hit the ground running at his new club Manchester United, providing scintillating displays one after the other. With his pace and strength, he can cause problems for any defenders. Belgium will depend a lot on Lukaku's boot to get the goals.

Belgium has one of the best-attacking lineups and adding the likes of Mertens and Nainngolan to the mix, it certainly looks like fantasy football going forward.
