The 2024/25 UEFA Champions League (UCL) returns on Tuesday with Matchday 15 – and so does the competition’s official Fantasy game.

Ahead of the deadline, we’ve got a team reveal from Louis (FPL Reactions), our resident European football expert who co-hosts the official UCL Fantasy podcast.

GOALKEEPERS

The best UEFA Champions League Fantasy players for Matchday 3 3

You’ll notice an immediate issue with my goalkeepers. Both Inter’s Yann Sommer (€5.5m) and Barcelona’s Wojciech Szczesny (€4.1m) face each other in the same match. This means I currently have a stopper on only one day, after a failed aggressive play in Matchday 14.

If forced to choose one I may back Sommer, who should rack up plenty of save points. I also don’t particularly want a Barcelona defensive double up heading into this round.

DEFENDERS

I also have problems in defence, though there’s a great sigh of relief that Paris Saint-Germain duo Nuno Mendes (€5.9m) and Achraf Hakimi (€5.7m) are already in place. Both have been fantastic from an attacking perspective recently and could also be captaincy options on Tuesday.

Also fit and likely to start is Barcelona’s Jules Kounde (€5.6m), who scored in his latest match. I’m not keen on his clean sheet potential, but at least he should play. Opponent Benjamin Pavard (€5.0m) was taken off with an injury in his latest league game, so I imagine he’ll be rested to allow another Inter defender to step in.

If I see that he’s fit, I’ll keep him to prioritise other moves. Bayern’s Kim Min-jae already needs replacing, having exited the competition.

    Would you see KdB to Mbuemo to allow Pep AM?

    Understand City has good fixtures but with Pep tinkering, would you say Mbuemo will still outperform KdB until end of season ?

        Could still be a dgw without palace though. I know Ur trying to mock as usual but that Glasner thing is obviously an opinion so could still be wrong I guess.

        Better than mocking people rating Salahs form over Palmer though. wonder why u aren't blowing that trumpet this week

          No one called Palmer rubbish this week yet. Ofc they couldn't after they got him in on their FH. That would be ultimate proof of them being the least brightest candle on the cake.

          Is the decision to transfer out Saka rather than Sarr, for Bowen, a budget one or Saka mins?

          Bowen is the better choice imo. Just curious about the decision-making

    I've had double figures bench points in 11 of the last 18 DGWs - including a 24, 26 and 27.

    I've not yet played my BB.

    On the plus side I guess it means you don't need a double for it to succeed. On the downside I've clearly left it too late and my benching choices are awful.

      Gameweek 36 still seems like a strong week for BB
      Good fixtures for a lot of cheaper options and the premium picks like Salah Isak Saka can perform against anyone

      I feel like this might be an inevitable consequence of very few premium options. More money spent on the squad rather than the 11 means peoples benches are likely to score more than normal and the decision around who to bench is harder.

      Definitely dont need a double for BB.

      Personally never use it in a double. I either use it in GW1 to try and get the best start possible, or just aim for a week with generally good fixtures for my team.

      Are you expecting a big win for Brentford at the weekend?

      United's league position is primarily down to their lack of goals, rather than their defence which is roughly on par with Newcastle and Fulham's.

      I wouldn't sell Isak at all, let alone for a hit.

    Projecting my team forward to the end of the season. I think BB35 is my best bet:
    Raya
    Gvardi Kiwior Milenko
    Salah Murphy Sarr Saka*
    Isak Mateta Marmoush

    Verbruggen Savinho* N.Williams Trippier*

    2FT 2.3ITB.

    Players with stars are potential sells.

    Currently thinking gamble on Sav as he may have the double.

    Trippier -> O’Brien
    Saka -> Mbeumo?

    Then good to play BB? Open to other suggestions. Tah 🙂
