The 2024/25 UEFA Champions League (UCL) final takes place on Saturday night – and so does the competition’s official Fantasy game, with Matchday 17.

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

I have a massive decision to make before the final. Sitting at 12k, I’ve had a very underwhelming season in comparison to my usual ranks. If I choose to push hard for Matchday 17, that means taking risks.

In my current set-up, I have both Paris Saint-Germain’s Gianluigi Donnarumma (€5.8m) and Inter’s Yann Sommer (€5.5m) to choose from. Which goalkeeper I pick will entirely depend on which strategy I choose to use.

DEFENDERS

UEFA Champions League (UCL) Fantasy: Scout Picks Matchday 13 1

In defence, I currently have the eliminated Arsenal duo of William Saliba and Jakub Kiwior.

Thankfully, there’s the PSG double-up of Achraf Hakimi (€5.8m) and Nuno Mendes (€6.1m), joined by Inter wing-back Denzel Dumfries (€5.6m).

If someone were to ask who this week’s best three defenders are to own, I’d say these. Each offers multiple routes to points, so if their side fails to keep a clean sheet, they could still bring in returns.

      Thanks. I would love to watch it but I cannot afford it. Ever since 1960 (Real Madrid 7 Eintracht Framkfurt 3) the European Cup Final/Champions League Final it has been my favourite match of all. Lets just hope that this match is something akin to the Barca.Inter semi finals.

        I think it is free, but as I said you've got to sign up, so they will harass you for ages. They will probably make you put in card details also even though you aren't paying for anything.

          Yeah, I can believe what you say - they'll be badgering for me to sign up. When you get to my age you tend to do anything to avoid hassle, and I'm comfortable with the radio.

            I signed up for free, but didn't enter any card or payment. Worked for an earlier Euro final, but this match is in an endless connection loop so doesn't look like I'll be watching anything live.

      Not a bad shout. I hope PSG do it, but I wouldn't rule out 0-1 to Inter.

                    I'm afraid they have mate. That's why it triggered me so easily.

        Yea initially. Inter looked like they were getting back into the game a bit before half time, but that didn't go anywhere. Really bad performance from them.

    How did Inter beat Barcelona? Such a shame. PSG Barcelona final would have been much better.

      Barca are atrocious defensively. They would have lost easily too

      Liverpool or arsenal would have made the final if they were on the other side of the draw. Still would have lost the final to psg though
