Champions League

UCL Fantasy: Two potential Wildcard drafts for Matchday 3

The 2022/23 UEFA Champions League (UCL) is back on Tuesday and Wednesday – which means it’s time for the competition’s official Fantasy game.

With prizes dished out every Matchday, UCL Fantasy also offers an incentive for managers to belatedly enter a team even if you are yet to sign up.

Our Champions League content continues this week as FPL Milanista (aka Obay) shares two potential Wildcard drafts for Matchday 3.

UCL Fantasy: Milanista

As UEFA Champions League action returns today, many Fantasy managers will be hitting the Wildcard in Matchday (MD) 3.

Although I am on a different strategy myself (Wildcard MD2/Limitless MD3), I will be covering the teams I would personally like to target this week as well as putting together two potential Wildcard drafts to hopefully help the majority of you decide on your last-minute dilemmas.

A MD3 Wildcard is a very favourable approach as it offers an opportunity to aggressively target MD3/MD4 fixtures in one hit (identical fixtures but reversing home/away sides), so without further ado let’s get started with the top-tier sides that need to form the core of any MD3 Wildcard side in my opinion.

TEAMS TO TARGET

FPL Gameweek 10 Scout Picks early selection: ... 1

First on the list is Bayern Munich. The German champions are in fine form and have a couple of fixtures against Viktoria Plzen that scream Fantasy points. Leroy Sane (€9.1m) has been exceptional in the first two UCL games, but several rumours are predicting him to start on the bench later tonight (make sure to check the line-ups as we get them before the MD3 deadline). If he is in fact benched, I’d strongly consider Jamal Musiala who scored once and assisted twice over the weekend and is only €7m. Lastly, there is every possibility that Sadio Mane (€10.5m)starts up front today with Thomas Muller (€10.0m) missing out, a very tempting option if it happens.

Thank you for reading. I hope this article was helpful for anyone playing their Wildcard for MD3. Best of luck everyone.

    Which one

    A) Play Guehi/Andreas
    B) -4 for Sinisterra > Foden/Bowen

    1. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Play Guehi

  6. OLLY G
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    Out of interest, considering his good run of fixtures, are people going to keep Mitrovic if he's still 75% after the pressers.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Yes

    2. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Yes. Keeping unless ruled out for longer than 1 GW

    3. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Keeper here.

  7. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    Any kdb owners thinking of keeping him for gw12? I m very tempted as fixtures look so good until world cup.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      I'm probably getting rid and then bring in Foden next week and spread the cash.

    2. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Nah, Salah has the fixtures even without the form.

      I’d rather get it wrong that way, than not moving onto Salah.

      Many will get Salah.

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Dont agree? Salah vs westham is not an easy game.
        So after that gw13 onwards i will prefer kdb to salah

    3. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      I might hokey cokey him out for the blank but keeping for Liverpool & plan to bring him right back for 13

    4. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Cheers all. Kdb to Salah was always going to be the plan maybe even switching to Kane might be a better option?

  8. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    First sub... will come on for Mitro if he's out.

    A. Andreas(whu)
    or
    B. Malacia(eve)

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Mmh maybe B?

    2. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Andreas probably only because Shaw could start.

      If Shaw plays midweek then Malacia I’d say.

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Cheers!

  9. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years

    Starting to feel like Toney on the WC might've been a mistake.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Yeah had Wilson then went safe.

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Yeah, Wilson was my alternative too in that price range. Think he outscores Toney over the next couple atleast.

    2. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      If you already have Toney then keep

  10. Simon69
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Planning on using a FT on Digne > Guehi - Bank the 2nd or anything worth considering? Cheers!

    Pope

    James - Trippier - Perisic

    KDB - Maddison - Bowen - Martinelli

    Haaland - Mitrovic - Isak

    Subs: Iversen - Digne - Fofana - Andreas

    1. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Wait for Mitrovic news

      1. Simon69
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Cheers!

    Any TT source for reliable XI Pool predictions?

  12. Totti
    • 7 Years

    on wildcard

    who do u rather guys?

    A) pope ( already owning trippier )
    B) guaita/ pickford

    1) trossard
    2) bowen

    1. FCRS1991
      • 7 Years

      A, 1

  13. mad_beer ✅

    The temptation to TC Haaland this week is huge.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      What about a double GW and he gets a 80pt haul

      1. mad_beer ✅
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        In theory you are correct. My experience has been that DGWs are disappointing due to injuries/rest. But now that you have mentioned it, a DGW TC is so exciting.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Ok 80 might be a bit OTT, but you get the point...

      1. Mozumbus
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        81 is plausible in a DGW with TC
        13+14 in each game for instance
        And then x3

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 6 months ago

          Truw

        2. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 6 months ago

          True*

  14. Letsgo!
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    Those having haaland and kdb what u doing for gw12?

    1. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Plan to keep Haaland because of the value attached

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        But selling kdb?

        1. Mozumbus
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 6 months ago

          Yes this is what the plan is
          Not in a hurry though

    2. Efan Ekoku Pops
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Looking at my points hauls with a smirk on my face.

      1. tokara
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Everyone has them

    3. tokara
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Kdb for Trossard then Foden maybe

  15. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    On a Limitless chip:

    Alisson
    Davies TAA Perisic Cancelo Kostic
    Sane Mane Salah
    Benzema Haaland ???

    !!! KDB Vinicius. Jr Kostic

    1) ??? - Mbappe or Lewandowski
    2) !!! - Lunin or Scezney
    3) (c) on Mane, Sane or Salah for today

    Team will probably change depending on the early-kick off lineups.

  16. Mozumbus
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    Who gonna score more in the next 3 GWs (10,11,12)?
    A. Salah
    B. Sterling

  17. Gooner97
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    Pope (Ward)
    James Trippier Cancelo (Emerson Neco)
    Martinelli KDB Gordon Andreas (Colback)
    Haaland Kane Mitro*

    1FT, £0.8

    How would you improve this team?

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      An 8m midfielder or two

      1. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 6 months ago

        Can't really upgrade anyone if not selling Kane...

        1. Ha.
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 6 months ago

          KDB

          1. Gooner97
            • 10 Years
            1 year, 6 months ago

            Why sell him? I could also do:

            Gordon & Mitro to Maddi/Bowen/Zaha & Archer (-4)

            1. Ha.
              • 8 Years
              1 year, 6 months ago

              To spread funds

              KDB is great, but with 8m options firing and a blank coming up, I don’t think he is the optimal use of funds

    2. FCRS1991
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Sell KDB...get Maddison, Foden , Rashford, Diaz instead

      As the above said, spread it out.

  18. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    A. TAA and Gross > Castagne and Bowen (-4)?

    B. TAA and Gross > James and Zaha (-4)?

    C. B. TAA and Gross > Guehi and Zaha (-4)? (+1.7m)

    D. None

  19. rozzo

    1 year, 6 months ago

    Anybody with three City and three Arsenal tempted not to transfer them out at all and have half a team in gw12?

    The likes of KDB, Haaland and Saliba are season keepers for me and it will takes weeks to get them back whilst i have other areas of my team i need to sort like TAA

    I suppose Jesus can go for Toney, Martinelli for Trossard etc but then you have to get them back

    Maybe having a low score gw12 and a high score gw13 will be the better move than gamble on decent score gw12 and beyond?

    1. tokara
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Go for it

    2. mad_beer ✅
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Are you forgetting about the unlimited FTs during GW17?

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      I think I'll be using the opportunity to change KDB to Foden.

    4. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Think you're right to prioritise GWs 13-14 over 12 - don't leave yourself short on City/Arsenal for those games. I'm happy to play with 10 in GW12 if necessary

    5. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Sold Saliba and Martinelli already and keeping 3 City on bench in GW 12. Brining back Arsenal players in GW 13

    6. FCRS1991
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 6 months ago

      Ballsy move that would set you back big time

  20. GRIMANDI [formerly boring M…
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 6 months ago

    Anyone tempted by Tomkins from CPL. Clyne stretchered off, so looks like a spell on the sideline

  21. bluelionman
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 6 months ago

    This is my first ever foray into UEFA Champions League Fantasy Football and I am second bottom of my private mini league of 11 teams and way off the pace - I notice most the top teams have used one or both chips already - most used one this round. I have not played either - have I missed the boat is it better use them early?

    I dunno what to do - I make swaps between days as allowed with bench players and now my captain scored 12 (2 x 6) so in 2 minds if should switch him to Haland for 2moro in hope of doing better... but if he dont score etc could be losing 6 points making switch.
