The 2024/25 UEFA Champions League (UCL) returns on Tuesday with Matchday 11 – 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.

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

REMINDER: We have unlimited transfers before the Tuesday 17:45 GMT deadline.

For me, it was a truly disastrous Matchday 10. My two forwards combined for zero because captain Serhou Guirassy (€8.2m) missed a penalty and Erling Haaland didn’t even play.

Then, Bayern Munich failed to meet expectations by scraping a draw versus Celtic and my defender Renato Veiga got injured in the 12th minute.

On top of all that, Ousmane Dembele (€8.5m) – Europe’s joint-best goal scorer for form – found a way to avoid any goal or assist in Paris Saint-Germain’s 7-0 win.

The only positives are that I chose to ignore Atalanta, thinking that Club Brugge were being massively underestimated and to triple-up on PSG’s defence. If I hadn’t stuck with those decisions, this could have been a record-breaking disaster for me.

UCL Fantasy Matchday 11: Ed's team reveal

As a consolation, I can at least say that a lot of people had a similarly bad time, as most highly-owned players didn’t perform – except Kylian Mbappe (€10.9m), grrr!

It meant I simply dropped back to my Matchday 9 rank, around 50k. With seven Matchdays still to go, lots of exciting opportunities await.

    Not so sure about triple Inter defence Ed. Their defence in CL has been great, though 7 cleansheets all with Sommer in goal and their group games were far from the toughest. Martinez has played only one CL game ever, for Leipzig. Only Leverkusen have kept Feyenoord scoreless in MD1 of 10 for them. They've put 3 past Benfica, City and Bayern so I don't fancy them to get through to quarter finals but do think they'll score in both legs.

      What kind of team do you think Pep will put out? I think Bournemouth beat that KDB/Foden side of last round, but not sure if he plays Haaland & Marmoush.

      Preston 1-3 Villa
      Fulham 0-1 Palace

      ...are the ones I'm more confident in

      Brighton 1-1 Forest (who knows on pens?)

        It will be Haaland and Marmoush (with Foden/Savio) i think and Gvariol on the left.

        It has to be.

        I think Haaland/Marmoush are the old number.9 (target/bully/finisher), and the no.10 (guilde, speed and can stie a ball) in an old fashioned 4-4-2 type partnership (at least for this season)

        It worked well against Newcastle, Haaland was dropping to the centre circle for the flick ons)

            small pitch, small stands. I was there last year in the winter and Semenyo scored with the only chamce (mistake at the game). It was 60mph winds. Like plough lane was in the 80s on a novemebr midweek game. Awful 🙂

            Its how they beat the "bigger teams". Very good at it. I couldn't call that game.

        Burnely conceed 9 all season (well everyone hates Burnley in Lancashire and Burnley did rotate a little.).

        I think if Villa defence or any of their defender are not 100% after ITB, they could get beat.

    Or do GW29 Trent Palmer Gapko to Gvardiol Haaland Murphy or something for a hit. Try and get a BB32
