The 2024/25 UEFA Champions League (UCL) returns on Tuesday with Matchday 7 – and so does the competition’s official Fantasy game.

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.

It was another very average week for me in Matchday 6 with 66 points, continuing a frustrating start to this UCL season. I just have to remind myself that there are 17 Matchdays this season, meaning we’re less than halfway through. Lots of points left to play for.

      B. as you already have three Pool, unless you want to AssMan Moyes

        Assistant Manager Moyes I’m not sure. Although I have 2 FT’s so I could do Alisson > Pickford for the double and use Slot as assistant.

        Not sure it’s worth it though

        1. Bobby Digital

          I think it's a waste of transfers and Everton's fixtures aren't that good after the DGW, so not sure I'd want to keep Pickford

      A - barely

  3. C_G

    not sure what to do here, have 0.1 ITB and 1 FT

    Raya

    Gabriel Hall VVD

    Salah Murphy Palmer Bruno

    Isak Gakpo Wood

    Turner Amad Robinson Maz

    1. Bobby Digital

      Roll

    2. SallySlayer
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      roll!

    Best defender under $5.2 for the long haul? Already own Robinson and Munoz

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Milenkovic

      1. SallySlayer
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Was considering Milenkovic but their next 6 are stout, seems like that ship might have sailed. Bou, Brighton, Fulham, New, Arsenal, City doesn't scream good points for a defender.

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Mykolenko
          Kerkez

      Konate

      1. SallySlayer
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Already have TAA, looking to bring in Gakpo for a third Liverpool player this week. I don't really trust Liverpool to keep as many clean sheets but Konate is a good shout. Leaning towards Kerkez.

      Huijsen

  5. x.jim.x

    What would you do?

    A) Gabriel --> Trent
    B) Robinson --> Konate
    C) Robinson --> Van Dijk + Bruno --> Mbeumo (-4)

    Leaning towards A for simplicity, but I know Gabriel is guarateed to score as soon as I drop him.

    1. SallySlayer
      • 6 Years

      B. Gabby a long-term hold.

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        I think his appeal is massively reduced with Saliba out. Wouldn't really surprise me if they didn't keep a clean-sheet for the next few game-weeks. Ipswich at home has me thinking at least 18 points from Trent.

    2. Bobby Digital

      A

    Which combo is better this gw?

    A. Mykolenko (bri) Mbeumo (cry) Gakpo (IPS)
    B. Timber (wol) Bruno (ful) Amad (ful) + 3 extra transfers

    Thanks

      A - double United attack is madness

        Both done well in last 2-3 games on average 🙂

    Best Jackson replacement between

    A Wissa
    B Mateta

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      B

    Have exact funds to do Sanchez and Gab. to Pickford and Trent for free. A no brainer? Kind of want to keep Gab, as Arsenal fixtures look alright, but Trent just seem so tempting for the next weeks especially with the double.
    Alternative is to do Sanchez to Alison to cover Liverpool defence.

    Raya - Fab
    TAA - Hall - Neco - Colwill* - Greaves
    Salah - Bruno - Palmer - Gordon - Enzo*
    Gakpo - Isak - Wood

    1 FT, 1.5 ITB

    Some problems here, such as Raya, triple Chelsea, and Bruno...would you still roll? Have all my chips left and honestly not sure what to do besides TC Salah during the double
