The best UCL Fantasy players for Matchday 10 5

Arsenal may be well below expectations from a defensive perspective domestically but they claimed two clean sheets from their first two European matches. With this in mind, and the fact the Gooners play at home this week, David Raya (€5.6m) gets the nod. He’s got one of the best chances of a clean sheet from those playing on Tuesday.

If Raya fails to pick up a return against Shakhtar Donetsk, then we could look to Atalanta. The Italian side are very similar to Arsenal in the fact they have sustained a significantly better defence in Europe this season. Coincidentally, one of their two Champions League clean sheets came against the Gunners, which is a good example of their defensive capabilities. Between the sticks for Atalanta is Marco Carnesecchi (€4.5m), who has solid potential against Celtic this week.

    Looking ahead for the next opportunity to pick an alternative captaincy option to Haaland and Son v IPS (H) in GW 11 could be the one.

    Certainly one good reason for Son over Palmer as my Saka replacement this GW.

      That whole stretch until they play Liverpool looks good to me. Even that's at home with potential to be a goalfest.

    Flekken - Fabianski
    Aina, Gvardiol, Ait-Nouri, Robinson, THB

      Yeah I’m looking to sell ESR for McNeil but that is very similar to my GW3 WC team so I like it.

      I’d go something like now,

      Raya
      Gvardiol Porro Robinson
      Salah Palmer Mbeumo McNeil Rogers
      Haaland Wood

    Saka > Palmer done since I have exact money and didn't want to risk being priced out.

    I'm good to just chill now yeah?

    Sels
    TAA Gabriel Lewis
    Palmer Mbeumo Johnson Rogers
    Haaland Watkins Havertz
    (Fabianski Dibling VdB Greaves)

    Any consideration for VdB over Gabriel? I have not benched Gabriel once this season and the last two 'tough' games he played in were his biggest returns of the season.
