Here, Ed, another one of our resident European football doyens and a co-host of the official UCL Fantasy podcast, drops by to give us his team reveal, players to target and hypothetical Limitless draft.

You can get his weekly thoughts in more detail via a weekly UCL Fantasy newsletter.

      Not much to do. Team is good.

      Roll. I'm looking to move to a team that's closer to yours. If Haaland blanks again, Johnson + Haaland > Salah + Watkins/Isak next week.

    It's come down to these two choices for me...

    B) Cunha + Bruno

    Which combo would you go for?

          its all about how much you think man utd have improved since ETH left

          and you also need to factor in he may change position once the new manager comes in

          I dont trust Bruno and hopefully with Odegard back, Saka will benefit.

    A Carry 4th transfer into 12 and WC with 4 frees going forward into 13

              They won at Anfield and drew at Stamford Bridge and the AMEX.

                They scored 4 goals and conceded 3 across those 3 'hard' fixtures.
                They scored 7 goals and conceded 1 across their last 3 'easy' fixtures.

                Small samples obviously (and not sure why Brighton are in there), but it's not mental to expect points to drop off playing at the Emirates, Etihad and Old Trafford in a span of 2 weeks.
