UCL Fantasy team reveal: Budget Barcelona defender + ‘OOP’ Can

People are saying he failed the eye test.

I'd say Greaves. They were solid last game and Southampton are quite poor. Might even get a set piece goal!

Yes.

DCL's long term fixtures are excellent, he was a 7.5m type striker once upon a time before injury struck. He's also out of contract, which has proven to be an excellent motivating factor for players in the past. Best case scenario he could get a move to a Spurs type club on a free if he does well this year.

Vardy also a good shout

Havertz in GW6 if you can get there without too many sacrifices.

I ran to DCL

I took your advice and became less intimidating.

yes fixtures are OK.

He'll be fine. Arteta will start him against City even if he's done his ACL

He's rarely injured isn't he? Concerning. Wait for Arteta European midweek presser.

18 stone 6ft big lad left back with a rocket of a shot. Don't get to play anymore though unfortunately (because I'm lazy no other reason).

Played for years but now I'm ancient. I was pretty two footed so usually got put on the left, probably preferred it there anyway. Denis Irwin type but with longer hair and a bigger stomach.

I played last Tuesday. I'm like a skinny wrecking ball defender. I studded someone in the groin by accident in a meaty challenge and then went in rough for another tackle at pace and got smashed in the knee lol. I'd say I'm a skinny Vidic

Good feet for a big lad.

Ronaldo at Man United the second time

Will score when given chances, very clinical but no pressing. Two injuries from football last year and decided to stop however

When I used to play in my younger years, I was mostly used as a right winger because my crossing and passing ability. But I was also used as a striker because I had a pretty good shot(long and 1 on 1) as well.

My weakness was my stamina and work rate though haha.

‘None Shall Pass’ shot stopping goalkeeper. Former outfield player so Bekker-esque with the sabatons! Once saved a penalty against a former Borussia Dortmund/Queens Park Rangers player.

Tricky winger with pace in my youth. 42 yr old with a beer gut now who has intended to "start training again soon and the gut will fall off" for a long while!

love all the chat here lads - some good fpl prospects in here hahaa
make sure you get back on the pitch soon, good for the physical but also the mental, take care of yourselves

Well I'm 66 and still play 6-a-side on Wednesday evenings.

Played competitively until I was 50 (as a striker).

Now tend to hang about in midfield.
I can honestly say that playing with people half, or even two thirds my age is still improving my technique. Learn so many tricks and moves I never knew existed when I was younger.

Can't run up and down the wing like I used so now I'm only up to ball playing CB like Pau Torres

I don't want to blow my own trumpet but I was like an Ali Dia type player in my hay day

A

I'd say A because then you could also get Gabriel later.

CDA

I like the DCL move myself. history suggests it's sustainable with the fixtures to go along with. I can see why people are saying Vardy, maybe I'm being ageist!

I reckon Gianni Buttice and Ed would happily admit they are middle class.

Well he has a hyphenated name!

He sees the FFS Community as all 1s, that's for sure.

The clue is in the up turned collar.

Yes slagging opposing fans about being in the "Thursday night cup" is well and truly dead!

Bide your time

Typical UEFA, don't give a monkeys about ruining well stablished fan songs.

All a bit shite aren't they - I'd probably take a punt on DCL with his fixtures

I find Wood and DCL boring picks personally. I know it's about points but don't really want uninspiring players in my team. Vardy is more fun and good fixtures (for Leicester) if he keeps getting the minutes. If Duran started every week next to Watkins he's my type of pick. But won't happen with UCL I don't think even tho he's in red hot form

Many I think
