UEFA Champions League Fantasy Game Goes Live
Filed under: Champions League, Fantasy Football Team Selection - Posted by: Andy
With the August transfer window now firmly closed, the thirty-two clubs participating in this season’s Champions League have subsequently entered their official squads to UEFA.
The tournament kicks off on Tuesday September 13 – that’s a week today – and Fantasy managers will be pleased to know they have the option of another game to test their managerial abilities – the UEFA Fantasy Champions League has opened for business, allowing you to consider the merits of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and, of course, Alberto Aquilani for your fifteen-man squads.
This season we will not only be re-opening the Scout League (code: 212-74) for another title tilt but will be setting aside the regular Scout cap and donning a beret, fedora or perhaps even a Ushanka in order to provide coverage of the tournament over the course of this season. Whether it’s the continental glamour tie of Barcelona vs Milan or the perhaps slightly less appealing APOEL vs Zenit, every game will get some level of mention with player picks thrown in as we go.
Keep your eyes peeled across these here pages in the days to come for more information, then, but for now, let us begin tinkering with our new squads and relish the joys of being able to line up Wayne Rooney and co alongside our favourite players from La Liga, the Bundesliga and beyond.

Damo says:
Was just pissing about with my WC looking at a team full of transferred players.
Vorm/Given
Dann//Jose//Brown//Woodgate//Gabb
Nasri//Arteta//Young//Downing//Mata
Long//Aguero or Ade//Graham.
That’s some midfield
September 7 at 9:45 am
Sigga says:
sweet team!
i am also a massive fan of graham but, i think i might be alone out there!
September 7 at 9:46 am
cband says:
Nice midfield!
September 7 at 9:50 am
strongbad says:
Grt mid, poor fwds
September 7 at 10:01 am
Phil C says:
Downgrade Downing to a 4.5m and get Bent/Suarez/Dzeko
September 7 at 10:11 am
Damo says:
September 7 at 9:42 am
KoL says:
RVP survived, i am happy. threw together a UCL team, but it will more than likely get put on the back burner as FPL is my main concern.
September 7 at 9:47 am
cband says:
hooray for bohemia crystal van persie surviving the international break!!!
September 7 at 9:46 am
cband says:
Who will score more this week?
De Laet (Home v WBA)
Cleverley (Away to Bolton)
Thanks!
September 7 at 9:47 am
KoL says:
tough one, i would be inclinded to say de laet, but only just.
September 7 at 9:51 am
strongbad says:
De Laet has got better chance I reckon
September 7 at 9:51 am
cband says:
cheers guys…tough call hey. I got brunt in midfield, so De Laet feels like betting against one of my midfielders!
September 7 at 9:53 am
KoL says:
you’re going to have players playing against each other at some stage
September 7 at 9:50 am
strongbad says:
Annoying that Ward, RTaylor, Anderson and Petrov all look unlikely to go up another 0.1.
Pretty settled on this team now, although wish I had the funds to do Arteta>Young
Any improvements?
Given Vorm
Kompany Bosingwa Enrique Simpson De Laet
Nasri Arteta Jarvis Brunt NDyer
Rooney RVP Dzeko
September 7 at 9:49 am
cband says:
really nice. bit template though – no real differential
September 7 at 9:54 am
KoL says:
That’s a good team .
September 7 at 9:54 am
Mac says:
Pretty standard but by no means a criticism. Personally would be tempted to save the .5 on Given to change De Laet to Brown who rotates with Simpson.
September 7 at 9:54 am
lost says:
Only difference from mine is SilvaBarton. The lack of 8m options is a worry if Arteta doesn’t work out, but I am prepared to give him a go.
I like it obviously
September 7 at 10:06 am
squawky wonderchicken says:
Given and Vorm do not rotate at all, they antirotate if anything.
I can’t justify Kompany either, zero clean sheets so far, zero attacking threat – I have Ward instead and that’s allowed me Young over Arteta (Krul over Given).
September 7 at 10:06 am
ChristIna says:
” Kompany, zero clean sheets so far”
September 7 at 10:09 am
squawky wonderchicken says:
Sorry yes – one at home to Swansea, wowee.
September 7 at 10:09 am
Henry Khor says:
clean sheet against Swansea first match of the season…
September 7 at 10:10 am
squawky wonderchicken says:
See above, I’m not sure that’s worth 1.5 mil in the grand scheme of things.
September 7 at 10:12 am
squawky wonderchicken says:
For starters if you pay 6mil for a defender they need to play every week.
September 7 at 10:24 am
ChristIna says:
He does.
September 7 at 10:40 am
squawky wonderchicken says:
I mean in your team, you will be playing Kompany away over someone like Ward or Bramble at home if you rotate 4.5ers.
September 7 at 9:51 am
Jake9 says:
Messi or Ronaldo?
September 7 at 9:52 am
Sigga says:
make room for both?
September 7 at 9:54 am
ChristIna says:
I like it when you talk dirty
September 7 at 10:01 am
Jake9 says:
Pyatov(Eduardo)
Smalling,Andre Santos,Ricardo Costa(Diawara,Paulo Jorge)
Nasri,Iniesta,Arteta,Joao Moutinho(Shaqiri)
Rooney,Ronaldo,Soldado
How would u fit Messi in?
September 8 at 1:17 pm
Lucky_2010 says:
+1, i think it should be like that lol
September 7 at 9:53 am
Rukawa says:
Krul (Vorm)
Baines Enrique Shawcross (De laet, Taylor)
SIlva Nasri Jarvis Brunt
Rooney Dzeko Suarez
RMT fellas
September 7 at 9:56 am
ChristIna says:
Captain Mr Invisible man in the midfield?
September 7 at 9:57 am
cband says:
you should get a fifth midfielder ;p – other than that great!
September 7 at 10:02 am
Rukawa says:
this is Ferguson (Newcastle) clearly
I will play 3-4-3 and 4-3-3 or 4-4-2… (not 5 midfiel) so I dont care useless Ferguson at all as people said.
have 0.3M on the bank so cannt afford Dyer
September 7 at 10:04 am
ChristIna says:
Hi loverboy, you post and then you vanish again.
Playing hard to get.
September 7 at 10:09 am
Rukawa says:
why you have hot avatar?
September 7 at 10:25 am
ChristIna says:
Becoz me hot
September 7 at 10:29 am
Rukawa says:
May I get it?
September 7 at 10:46 am
Ginkapo says:
Be more specific boy, that leaves you open to all manner of buggery
September 7 at 10:04 am
ManofKent says:
downgrade Shawcross to a 4.5 then upgrade Ferguson. You’d be stuffed if say a Man City match was cancelled…
September 7 at 10:14 am
Rukawa says:
that’s good notice. ^^
September 7 at 10:20 am
Funkyav says:
you have been told clearly the reasons for not picking Ferguson yet you persist with him in your team.
September 7 at 10:25 am
Rukawa says:
First I just intend to get Ferguson for invisible, but my team vale increase (total 101.4M) then.
Baines got injury, Taylor rotation, Evans may lost his place for Ferdiand, Dzeko rotation too. And I worry me team will play with just 10 player this week @@
September 7 at 9:56 am
Fri says:
Given, Begovic
Bosingwa, Jose Enrique, De Laet, Simpson, Taylor
Young, Arteta, Taarabt, Brunt, Dyer
Rooney, RVP, Dzeko
Perfect, yes? Feels good.
September 7 at 9:58 am
cband says:
looking good…feelin good…work it, yeah
September 7 at 10:01 am
lost says:
I would love to squeeze an extra mill for that keeper combo.
September 7 at 9:56 am
MM says:
Hi guys. I would like your view on the dilemma:
A) Walcott + Suarez
or
B) RVP + Taarabt
Cheers
September 7 at 9:55 am
Mac says:
B for me. Although I think A may be the more orthodox choice.
September 7 at 9:56 am
MM says:
Option B is better in terms of set pieces, but option A in term of form… tough one for me
September 7 at 10:00 am
cband says:
secret option C) RVP + SWP???
September 7 at 10:07 am
MM says:
Adel is much better option imo
September 7 at 10:10 am
Sigga says:
IMO SWP is better
very similar to adel and SWP is Joey Barton…..
at 5.9 he looks a bargain
September 7 at 9:58 am
AllessandroSwissToni says:
AAArgh – I just realised that by bringing in RVP and Walcott instead of RVP & Arteta I haven’t got enough cash to do Yaya > Mata next week
September 7 at 10:04 am
Damo says:
You could safe the transfer and look to downgrade someone else the following week with the 2 free maybe. You wouldn’t want Mata away to Utd next week anyway
September 7 at 10:04 am
AllessandroSwissToni says:
True dat
September 7 at 10:02 am
Fulham Fan says:
8 point Hit?…
A.Cole, Nani, Graham OUT – Gabidon, Walcott, RVP IN.
Worth the big 8 points?
September 7 at 10:06 am
Turbodog says:
no, not worth 8 points unless you’re hugely lucky and Ars go mental
September 7 at 10:13 am
Fulham Fan says:
thats the gamble yeah..plus their other fixtures in the future will give ops to recoup.hmmmm
September 7 at 10:12 am
Turbodog says:
8 pointers rarely pay off – but I’ve gone for Arteta and RVP too – despite feeling that form is beating fixtures hands down this season ( and most of last )
… but then I’ve been wildcarding so it ain’t costing me anything
September 7 at 10:23 am
Fulham Fan says:
cheers. hust want RVP in really! may do Graham – RVP by downgrading Nani to a 5.5m or less mid and thus bypassing the need to do 3 trsfers to raise the cash. maybe Dyer then save the 1m. Plan?!
September 7 at 10:04 am
Turbodog says:
would you rather have :
Arteta & RVP
OR
Young & Suarez ?
September 7 at 10:06 am
ManofKent says:
B for me
September 7 at 10:06 am
AllessandroSwissToni says:
A
September 7 at 10:06 am
Turbodog says:
guess it’s really :
Fixtures
Vs
Form
September 7 at 10:08 am
Turbodog says:
I had B and went A
Hope it pays off
September 7 at 10:07 am
Optimus says:
rvp young and suarez
September 7 at 10:09 am
Turbodog says:
can’t do that with RVP Roonpig & Dzeko up front
September 7 at 10:09 am
Random_Guy says:
Pretty much completed my team. Just need to finish the last piece of the puzzle:
A) RVP and Brunt
OR
B) Arteta and Suarez?
Need a few more opinions to make up my mind!
Cheers guys.
September 7 at 10:13 am
Mac says:
A.
September 7 at 10:14 am
IamSuarez says:
A
September 7 at 10:10 am
Mac says:
I really don’t think Arteta will do that well in FPL terms however the majority on here seem to think he will. By picking Arteta over Silva/Mata though I do get a better pick in defense. Worth it?
Basically
A) Kompany + Arteta
B) Silva + De Laet
September 7 at 10:10 am
Turbodog says:
depends if you have RVP…
if you do then don’t bother with Arteta and go Silva
September 7 at 10:13 am
Mac says:
I have RVP but I also have Nasri so I’ve covered both teams.
September 7 at 10:13 am
arsenalrock says:
I have the following players:
Walcott-Injured
Baines-Injured
Hilario- Cech’s back
Senderos- Not nailed on
Moses- Can get Dyer
Should I WC?
September 7 at 10:13 am
Marknlard says:
Walcott and Baines will probably be fine this weekend. Both are good for points so don’t get rid. Dyer instead of Moses? Meh.
September 7 at 10:18 am
Mac says:
Na wait, surely you have a second keeper and a back up defender. Save the W/C until you cna next jump on price rises imo.
September 7 at 10:15 am
whisper09 says:
I have taken a wildcard and now have a selection dillema for this weekend. Please help. My team is:
Vorm Ruddy
Kompany Hall DeLaet Bosingwa S.Taylor
Mata Walcott Nasri Brunt Dyer
Rooney VanP Holt
So my GW4 team will be:
Vorm
Kompany ? ?
Mata Walcott Nasri ?
Rooney VanP ?
Basically what I need to know is which 4 of Hall(NEW), DeLaet(WBA), Bos(sun), Brunt(nor) and Holt(WBA) to play?
Sorry if I’ve dragged this on a bit
September 7 at 10:19 am
whisper09 says:
Im leaning towards Hall, Bos, Brunt and Holt
September 7 at 10:24 am
Damo says:
I’d play Bos, Brunt and Holt alright but I’d go with Taylor. I know he’s away but QPR could be playing a lot of new players. Each to their own though .
September 7 at 10:44 am
whisper09 says:
Thanks
September 7 at 10:21 am
Torres says:
don’t play hall
September 7 at 10:44 am
whisper09 says:
Agreed
September 7 at 10:16 am
Jake9 says:
Frei and Messi
or
Soldado and Ronaldo
September 7 at 10:23 am
KoL says:
Frei & Messi for me.
September 7 at 10:29 am
Jake9 says:
who is the best striker for 6.0 or under
September 7 at 10:28 am
KoL says:
I’ve went big uptop and low in mid. Altintop is pretty cheap but i think you can get better value in the mids with shiquiri & witsel
September 7 at 10:16 am
Henry Khor says:
r u sure walcott & baines confirmed out injured for this weekend match ?
September 7 at 10:22 am

My team this weekend is
Kenny (given)
Cole Martin Enrique
Taarabt Sinclair Nzogbia Lampard
RVP Bent Holt
Simpson Moses Bardsley
I have one free transfer and 0 in the bank any suggestions? my initial thought is Lamps to Silva, anyone got any other suggestions?
September 7 at 10:24 am
ChristIna says:
Bent–>Djeko
September 7 at 10:24 am
ChristIna says:
Prob not enough cash though…
September 7 at 10:29 am
KoL says:
dzeko id only 8.8 i think with bent valued at 10. If he’s out thats a probable transfer but i dont know about citys rotation up top. how have you been mate? good start to the season?
September 7 at 10:48 am
ChristIna says:
Hi KOL – I can’t complain
Not a great start to season(again!)for me. I’m getting used to it by now.
September 7 at 10:28 am
Brynny says:
Need some Man City coverage in there, Silva or Nasri or Lampard. No Man Utd coverage either…
September 7 at 10:29 am
Damo says:
I’d keep Lamps this week KoL. Maybe downgrade Zog to Jarvis. Frees up some Bobs anyway + 4 home in the next 6
September 7 at 10:33 am
SuperDunny says:
-1
September 7 at 10:37 am
Damo says:
That’s a surprise
September 7 at 10:35 am
SuperDunny says:
Why are you telling people to keep Lampard for this weeks game? Or is it for United away the following GW? Numptey…
September 7 at 10:38 am
KoL says:
swansea at home in GW6 is appealing for lamps though
September 7 at 10:41 am
SuperDunny says:
Well it’s appealing for Chelsea definitely, but you’ve plenty of time to get a Chelsea attacker in there by then. I suspect Mata will be top of many people’s lists
September 7 at 10:43 am
Damo says:
Really? Utd next week!! I never knew you could look at fixtures.
September 7 at 10:33 am
KoL says:
I seen that actually, Jarvis over ohara though? Iv not seen much of Wolves, but in recent years ohara has been the main man on set peices ect.
September 7 at 10:37 am
Damo says:
He does seem to be playing a bit further forward. You could always downgrade Cole. He’s eating money for no reason
September 7 at 10:29 am
Big Bad Dom says:
Having two villa attacking players might be putting too many eggs in one low-scoring basket, so maybe one of N’Zog and Bent should go? Bent to Dzecko? N’Zog to Brunt?
I have Lampard too and I’m itching to get rid of him but he’s not actually a major problem. I also have Sinclair and don’t like that he is getting very close to a drop in price.
September 7 at 10:33 am
KoL says:
I know what you about villa, there fixtures are still pretty good though i think you’re right. I have lamps but i dont mind having him cause hes a good source of points from chelsea, his only problem is his value. I’m wanting in some city coverage. Dont worry about sinclair he will come good. my team value is shot to sh1t this year.
