UCL Fantasy Matchday 5: Best Attacking Return Player Percentages 2

MJF

For too long I've pored over stats, fixtures and form in search of points. From now on, I'll be selecting players purely based on whether their smile melts me inside and they're kind to ball boys, like Cunha is. Eden Hazard would therefore be out, regardless of points potential, should he ever return to the PL.

I agree with this sentiment. Sometimes the intangible and qualitative factors reign supreme

Unlucky against Jay White btw

I did this with Muniz after watching a couple interviews of his, very likeable bloke. He's scored one goal all season.

A, Raya + Timber + Gvardiol

Or

B, Flekken (or other 4.5) + Timber + Gabriel

City a bit pants at the minute but Flekken ain't keeping a cs, Gvardiol attacking and almost a differential at this stage, Timber a nice punt albeit a bit injury prone

Kinda like A both have their merits
