Champions League

UEFA Champions League – Initial Selection Guide

As already mentioned last week, we’ve set up a league for the official UEFA Champions League game , which gets underway this evening.

With that in mind, we’ve taken our lead from this excellent Hot Topic by VS10, which highlights some of the best budget options available to Fantasy managers for their opening squads.

Rather than suggest the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for your 15-man squads, we’ll instead seek out some cut-price alternatives across the positions that could be worth considering for the group stages.

As hinted at by Chelsea manager Antonio Conte only yesterday, we’ve also factored the possibility of rotation into our suggested picks.

This could promote players such as the Blues’ Michy Batshuayi in our thinking, along with Premier League assets such as Man United’s Victor Lindelof and Tottenham’s Son heung-min.

When assembling your squad, it’s also worth noting that, maybe by Matchday 5 and certainly by Matchday 6, those teams that have already qualified as group winners may start rotating their players.

Goalkeepers

Alphonse Areola – Paris Saint Germain – 4.5
The 24-year-old has started all five league matches for the Ligue 1 big spenders this season. Areola has conceded just three times in those outings and looks excellent value for a Group B that includes Anderlecht and Celtic, as well as Bayern Munich.

Bruno Verela – Benfica – 4.5
The stopper has been an ever-present in the league so far, conceding just three times in five appearances. Verela offers clashes with CSKA Moscow and FC Basel, in addition to Group A favourites Man United.

Pepe Reina – Napoli – 5.5
A little more expensive on the budget, the Spaniard has shipped two goals in three outings for Napoli this season. The Serie A side have started the season in fine form, winning all three league matches, and – aside from clashes with Man City – could profit from Group F encounters with Feyenoord and Shakhtar Donetsk.

Defenders

Dan-Axel Zagadou – Borussia Dortmund – 4.0
The teenager is expected to benefit from an injury sustained by left-back Marcel Schmelzer last weekend. Zagadou started the first two Bundesliga matches before dropping to the bench, but with Schmelzer now looking at six weeks out, the summer signing from PSG could be a viable short-term solution.

Jorge – Monaco – 4.0
Cemented the role at left-back and has been an ever-present in the league as a result of Benjamin Mendy’s move to Man City. Having supplied an assist already for the French champions, Jorge offers an alternative to pricier defensive team-mates Kamil Glik (6.0) and Jamerson (5.5), who have both scored twice in the league this season.

Jonathan Silva – Sporting Lisbon – 4.0
Started at the weekend after Fabio Coentrao was ruled out with a muscle injury. Silva looks a short-term option for the trip to Olympiakos, though Coentrao is very injury-prone and the former may yet prove more than a stop-gap option.

Kevin Diks –Feyenoord – 4.5
The right-back has already served up two assists in four league appearances for the Eredivisie league leaders. Six key passes and five shots inside the box over those matches underline Diks’ attacking potential.

Alex Telles – Porto – 5.5
He only has a single assist to his name, but the left-back is ranked second overall in the Portuguese top-flight for key passes, supplying 16 in his first five appearances. Team-mate Felipe (5.0) has registered more shots (seven) than any defender in Liga NOS and offers a cheaper route into a rearguard that’s yet to concede this season.

Victor Lindelof – Manchester United – 5.5
With Phil Jones and Eric Bailly both suspended for United’s first group match, the summer signing looks set to be handed a chance to impress in central defence. Jose Mourinho has overlooked Lindelof on the domestic stage thus far and may well look to ease him into contention via European matches instead.

Mario Fernandez – CSKA Moscow – 5.5
Utilised as a wing-back on the right of a 3-4-3, Fernandez has provided a total of 15 key passes – no defender has more in the Russian league – and has been unlucky only to earn a single assist.

Danielle Rugani – Juventus – 5.5
The centre-half scored two goals in 11 appearances in Serie A last season and has started all three league matches this time around. Rugani offers the cheap option in a defence that’s conceded just two goals to date.

Midfielders

Kevin Bua – Basel – 5.0
A versatile asset who offers the Swiss side an option out wide or even through the middle. Limited to just three appearances last season due to injury, Bua has been quick to atone for lost time, scoring twice in six league outings this term.

Bruno Fernandes – Sporting – 5.5
Flourishing in a central support role, Fernandes is Sporting’s joint-top scorer, along with frontman Bas Dost, on four goals over the first five fixtures. He also offers a share of set-pieces.

Salvio – Benfica – 5.5
The right winger has fired two goals over the opening four league fixtures, with a total of 14 attempts on goal ranked third behind strikers Haris Seferovic and Jonas.

Ganso – Sevilla – 5.5
The Brazilian seems to have finally cemented his role as a regular for the La Liga outfit after struggling for pitch-time last term. Ganso has notched twice in three league appearances and was among the goals against Eibar last weekend.

Aleksandr Golovin – CSKA – 5.5
Stationed on the left of a front three, Golovin has registered two goals and an assist from nine league appearances. But he’s fired a total of 19 shots on goal and is cheaper than Alan Dzagoev (6.5) on the opposite flank.

Marlos – Shakhtar – 6.0
The Brazilian has netted four goals in seven league appearances and is also his side’s first-choice spot-kick taker. Marlos’ penchant for earning cautions may be a deterrent, though, with four yellow cards already over that period.

Kostas Fortounis – Olympiakos – 6.0
Stationed in a central support role, Fortounis has netted three times in as many league matches this season. He also registered a goal and an assist during Champions League qualifying and is expected to be handed spot-kicks and a share of set-pieces.

Quincy Promes – Spartak Moscow – 7.0
A former target of Liverpool, Promes has racked up six goals and three assists from nine appearances. He’s produced more shots on goal than any other player in the Russian league this season.

Heung-min Son – Tottenham Hotspur – 8.0
Used sparingly on the domestic stage by Mauricio Pochettino, the South Korean looks likely to benefit from Dele Alli’s three-match European ban. In terms of minutes per goal among midfielders in last season’s Premier League, only Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez surpassed Son’s average of 147.7.

Forwards

Rickie Van Wolfswinkel – Basel – 7.0
A name known to us, the Dutchman has shrugged off his previous struggles at Norwich to flourish in the Swiss top-flight. Van Wolfswinkel has seven goals in as many league outings in 2017/18 and is also Basel’s first-choice for penalties.

Jonas – Benfica – 7.5
Top scorer in the Portuguese first division, the striker has fired 22 shots on goal in just five league appearances, netting six times and supplying two assists.

Michy Batshuayi – Chelsea – 7.5
With Antonio Conte hinting at rotation, we reckon there’s a chance that the Belgian could be unleashed at home to Qarabag, with Alvaro Morata perhaps moving to the bench with one eye on the weekend visit from Arsenal. Indeed, Batshuayi could even prove a short-term armband punt tonight for those willing to roll the dice.

Anthony Martial – Manchester United – 7.5
Identically priced to team-mate Marcus Rashford, the Frenchman trails the United youngster by one league start to three thus far. Yet Martial has mirrored Rashford’s output of two goals and an assist and should see more pitch-time in the Champions League as Jose Mourinho freshens up his options in attack.

Gabriel Jesus – Manchester City – 8.0
With Sergio Aguero priced at 10.5, the in-form Brazilian – who has notched three times in his last two league appearances – looks an absolute snip at a mere 8.0 as the choice route into Man City’s attack.

Kylian Mbappe – Paris Saint Germain – 9.0
The big-money signing offers an obvious alternative to new team-mates Neymar and Edinson Cavani, who both set you back a whopping 11.0. Mbappe has already hit the ground running since arriving from Monaco, bagging a goal and an assist in Friday’s debut win over Metz.

Paulo Dybala – Juventus – 9.5
Another forward who has been afforded a relatively kind price tag, with team-mate Gonzalo Higuain costing 10.5 by comparison. Despite being stationed behind Higuain in a central support berth, Dybala has outscored him by five goals to two and has registered 17 shots in the first three rounds of fixtures in Serie A.

      6 years, 6 months ago

      If I do both with 2 x FTs, will have 13.7m to spend on a mid & fwd.

      Already have:

      Eriksen - Pogba - Mooy - Carroll
      Kane - Lukaku

    9. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
      • 7 Years

      Shitic

    10. Jafooli

      Wow the Tadic hate is strong 😆

      1. Rake
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        West Ham just won their first home match. Might be on their way up, fixtures also decent.

      2. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I've got him in my draft team ...not impressed ! He and Redmond do this every year with their misleading stats

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Ha, I had Redmond for about 5 x GWs are start of last season and Tadic same this season.

          Last time ever....

      3. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Tadic.

        At least Shitarito is nailed on

    11. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Chicha. People here just hate Tadic alot.

    12. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Those 2 players are a Tad Shit

    13. Fingerspitzengefühl
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Tadic out

    14. Spokey
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Im not sure Chicharito is nailed on. Antonio is probably the most nailed on player. Carroll, Arnatovic, Ayew and chicharito is competing for the last to slots in 3-4-3. Lanzini is getting back from injury soon also.

  2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

    "Salah reported to Melwood but was sent home as a precaution.”

    Daily Star

    Hope he gets rested tomorrow!

    1. Freddo

    Isco - Pogba - Ribery - Ganso - Salvio
    Ronalso -Cavani - Jesus

    Pretty balanced eh?

    1. GertJan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Keep an eye on Areola and Ribery - see if both start. Other than that, it looks pretty decent IMO.

      1. Whats the Mata?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        6 years, 6 months ago

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 7 Years

    Got 2 FT and 0,4 ITB.

    Out: Blind, Hegazi, Courtois, Chicha
    In: Naughton, Kola, Elliot, Firmino
    -8pts
    Worth it?

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Hard no. Do Courtois -> Elliot and Hegazi -> Bavies

      1. DenDanskeDuo
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks mate. Already have Bavies though.

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Hegazi won't rise again, him and Chica out, no hit

      1. DenDanskeDuo
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Really just looking for another forward around the same price as Chica then (like many others -.-)

  7. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Want to see a few more opinions
    which £5.0mil def (not united)?
    Have Cedric Lowe Davies too.

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Mee?

  8. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Help me out. What to do with my 2 FTs.

    0.0 itb

    Foster
    Beavis-Cedric-TFM (Mee,Mbemba)
    Eriksen-Mkhi-Antonio-Richarlison (TC)
    Kane-Kaku-Firm

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Other Gk?

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Probably TFM or Richarlison to something?

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Any suggestions for Richarlison in price range 6.0 and under

          1. Jafooli
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Brady seems popular or Chouping-Pong?

            1. S.Kuqi
              • 11 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              Nah. Chopper was on time. Burnely doesn't create much. Might aswell play TC until some cheapo semi consistant mid emerges.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Nice team. I'd be tempted to do Foster to 4.0 in your position and just play Elliot each game.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        One option for sure! Maybe that Newcastle backup gk Woodman?

    3. MTPockets
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Find a TFM alternative?

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          for 4.5 there isn't many? Löwe perhaps?

          1. MTPockets
              6 years, 6 months ago

              Need to check rotations - maybe Newcastle/Huddersfield.

        2. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Foster -> 4.0 and then downgrade Richarlison next gw to bring Kola in for Cedric seem best way to go.

          1. S.Kuqi
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Who should I bring for Richarlison?

      • Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Scoutcast going to be good

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          *bloodbath

          What time it start?

        2. Fantasy Gold
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          poor Mark.

          Even Granville is making an appearance to put the boot in

          1. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Mark loves it really ... he'll finish above them all [and us no doubt] anyway

      • MarvelouSuccess
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Will Asensio start?

        1. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Doubtful, slight injury and they have a more important game on Saturday so no need to risk him

      • F4L
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        PSG scoring 5 or 6 tonight?

        1. Sánchez
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          At Parkhead? No.

        2. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Think Celtic will prove a tough nut to crack actually

          1. F4L
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            cant see it tbh.

            1. Sánchez
              • 11 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              Celtic haven't lost a match in 12 months. And their home record in Europe is very good. They won't just roll over tonight. The atmosphere will be something else and they've had a year to improve under Rodgers. This will be a tight game

              1. Sánchez
                • 11 Years
                6 years, 6 months ago

                (well, apart from away in Kazakhstan but that was after the 5-0 home win)

                1. willl
                  • 8 Years
                  6 years, 6 months ago

                  13th September 2016...

                  1. willl
                    • 8 Years
                    6 years, 6 months ago

                    and various other times, point is, they have lost in the last 12, and in Europe they are especially vulnerable.

                    4-1 PSG I say.

              2. willl
                • 8 Years
                6 years, 6 months ago

                Yes they have, they haven't lost a league match. Significant difference.

                1. Fantasy Gold
                  • 9 Years
                  6 years, 6 months ago

                  Celtic 1 PSG 7 (Seven)

                  1. willl
                    • 8 Years
                    6 years, 6 months ago

                    Could well happen. Tough nut to crack for St. Johnstone and co. but I think PSG will win easily.

                    1. Sánchez
                      • 11 Years
                      6 years, 6 months ago

                      Tough nut for man city home and away too

                    2. Sánchez
                      • 11 Years
                      6 years, 6 months ago

                      And anyway, you lot are just a Europa league side and have never won a European cup or champions league.

                      1. willl

                          Arsenal aren't playing Liverpool tonight

                  2. Sánchez
                    • 11 Years

      • PepSala

        First CL games are in 1 hour and 15 mins. Does that mean i have 15 minutes to make my team?

          No, you have 1h 15, team news starts in 15 mins

          An hour and 15.

          make ure team when the line ups drop

      • Mr. Perfectionist
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        How is this looking?

        Areola Varela
        Rugani Hummels Lindelof Jorge Zagadou
        Ribery Mkhi Salvio Lemar Asensio
        Ronaldo Lewan(c) Seferovic

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          need some PSG attackers imo

        2. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Lemar injured, ribery may not start and asensio with a slight knock apparently..also not sure hummels is worth the money. Need one of city, napoli or psg attack at least imo.

          1. Mr. Perfectionist
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Wow. Just ripped into my team. Haha. Didn't know about Lemar. I want a nailed bayern defender hence Hummels. Cant see value in City. Will have to reconsider Napoli & PSG.

              6 years, 6 months ago

              Sorry haha
              Rest of team is very nice, just those few risks to sort out.

      • Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Is Elliott the only 4.0m starting GK or is Krul also first choice?

        Didn't Tim Krul used to be good?

        1. Debauchy
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Yes , you know your stuff Jaf

          Elliot only nailed 4.0

          1. Jafooli
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Cheers Figu, so why did Mark get Krul?

            1. Numb
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              Got a chance of becoming first choice

              • 6 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              Only playing Elliot. I'm planning on doing the same when WC on 2nd international break. Newcastle looks good and their fixtures are amazing until GW15 (only bad one being United GW12). Likely will plan on having .5 ITB for GW15 and bringing 4.5 goalie to rotate with Elliot after that.

            3. MTPockets
                6 years, 6 months ago

                Because Elliot has: STO, bha, LIV, sot, CPL, bur, BOU

          Do you think PSG wil keep a cleansheat against Celtic?

          1. Debauchy
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            No

        4. F4L
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Ronaldo Neymar Jesus front line seems the best value doesn't it?

                • 9 Years
                6 years, 6 months ago

                Yes. You'll be losing him for Messi before next week anyway...

        5. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          If I have 2 x FT's and don't use one this week, will I still have 2 next week?

          1. _figu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Yup, can't have more than 2

            • 11 Years

            Get with it , 2 x 2 = 4

            Who's everyones favourite midfielder picks in the CL fantasy?

            Currently - Robben Isco Golovin Salvio B.Fernandes

            1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              I keep running out of money with 3 more to pick.

              I'm doomed.

                value is there if you know where to find it 😉

              • 14 Years

              My personal favourite is Forsberg. I promised myself last year I'd get him in the UCL.

          6. Alan The Llama
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            If anyone wants another 4m defender, Ralston is starting for Celtic. Not sure how many points he'll bring in.

          7. Gríma Wormtongue
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Would you wilcard this?

            Foster // Elliot

            Alonso // Kolasinac // Jones // Stephens // Long

            Salah // Mkhitaryan // JWP // RLC // Carroll

            Kane // Lukaku // Chicharito

              How much in bank, any FT?

              Think a WC is a bit much, team is OK.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

              No need for WC team looks good.

            Do we think Danilo with start next gw? Which of these sound better:

            A) Yoshida -> Davies (play Danilo)
            B) Danilo -> Davies (play Yoshida)

            Either way, I'll probably upgrade the other to Kola next week.

                • 7 Years

              • 14 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              You want 2 keepers who play on different days. And remember to start everyone who is playing today, so you can sub them out if they do f*** all.

              1. the snazzy viking
                • 7 Years

                  Lol, yeah. Hence why you want 15 players.

            Why has Salah been flagged?

            He's missed training because he's ill, isn't it a bit premature to flag him? What if he's training on Wed?

            1. La Roja
              • 12 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              Then he will be unflagged. Simple
