Managers participating in UEFA Champions League (UCL) Fantasy 2025/26 can now access a whole range of UCL StatsBomb data from the past two seasons – and this one!

It’s one of the many perks of being a Fantasy Football Scout ‘Chief Scout’.

Just in terms of data alone, managers can already access stats from the Champions League, Premier League and Saudi Pro League. World Cup qualifying info will soon be added ahead of next summer’s tournament, too.

And there’s all the usual extras, too, such as the Fixture Ticker, transfer planner, points projections, Rate My Team, Defensive Contribution (DC) data, Captaincy Matrix, Gameweek Highlights page and more.

Sign up via the image below!

HOW TO ACCESS UCL DATA

Once logged in, simply select ‘UEFA Champions League’ from the drop-down menu.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

Here, you’ll find ‘Player Stats’ and ‘Player Profiles’.

Below is a selection of the player stats available from 2024/25 UCL.

Non-penalty shots (npShot):
Key passes (KP):
Non-penalty expected goals (npxG):
Expected assists (xA):
Defending stats, inc StatsBomb ball recoveries (BR) and tackles (Tk):

You can also access individual player profiles, as below.

We’ll have plenty of coverage on UCL Fantasy in preparation for the big kick-off, as well as articles throughout the season.

If you’re new to the game or just need a reminder of the rules, check out our ‘how to play’ guide here.

For everything else, bookmark our UCL Fantasy 2025/26 comprehensive guide for content as it’s added.

    Post lost last page.

    Thoughts on my FH?

    Pope.
    Gabriel. Munoz. Schar.
    Salah. Gakpo. Wirtz. Elanga.
    Gyro. Etiteke. JP

    Dub. King. Gud. Rod.

    Wirtz and Elanga are punts. Former's been up against tough teams. This may be his week?

    1. jayzico
      • 14 Years

      Arghhh not again!

      Etiteke is MATETA

      Liverpool scored 10 goals in 4 games - it's not because of the 'tough teams'

      1. jayzico
        • 14 Years
        3 months, 4 days ago

        Talking about Wirtz in particular. His style of play may be suited to weaker teams whereas players like Haaland are fixtureproof

        1. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          3 months, 4 days ago

          If you can’t count teams that they put 4 past as “weaker”, what teams are you referring to?

          1. jayzico
            • 14 Years
            3 months, 4 days ago

            Wolves, Burnley, Sunderland, Brentford. Theres 4 to start.

            1. x.jim.x
              • 11 Years
              3 months, 4 days ago

              £150m to only play well against relegation fodder, warra signing

            I think you know what he's trying to say. Bournemouth and Newcastle were transition games. Burnley will be a low block. Maybe this type of matchup suits Wirtz more.

            1. jayzico
              • 14 Years
              3 months, 4 days ago

              THAT is what I should have said. Sorry Jim.

    3. I Member

      Looks strong. I have 8 of your 11 on my FH.

      1. jayzico
        • 14 Years
        3 months, 4 days ago

        Really 8 of 11? Who don't you have if you don't mind me asking.

        Presuming 2 are Elanga and Wirtz?

        1. I Member
          • 10 Years
          3 months, 4 days ago

          I have Wirtz. Pope, Gabriel and Elanga are the three I don't have but the coverage is exactly the same. I have Raya, Schar and Barnes.

          1. jayzico
            • 14 Years
            3 months, 4 days ago

            Nice. I'm thinking of tripling up Newcastle in defence + Gabriel. But want Elanga as a punt.

            1. Haa-lala-land
              • 5 Years
              3 months, 4 days ago

              I see Wirtz to Liverpool being as Odegaard is (was?) to Arsenal
              Returns simply hard to predict and assisting the assister. I could be wrong easily.
              On FH against Burnley Id be trying to figure out who will start at full back out of Frimpong and Bradley, and plump for them and cross my fingers they get don't get subbed at 59

              1. jayzico
                • 14 Years
                3 months, 4 days ago

                It's one game. Even if he braces he ain't in my WC

              2. I Member
                • 10 Years
                3 months, 4 days ago

                How would you figure out who's going to start at full back? It could easily be Szoboszlai again. Even on the other side this is the type of game Robertson might start over Kerkez with CL midweek.

                1. jayzico
                  • 14 Years
                  3 months, 4 days ago

                  Aint going near pool backs. For now. Too sporadic without Trent

          2. jayzico
            • 14 Years
            3 months, 4 days ago

            Almost exact teams then. Sounds good.

  3. RUUD!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    On FH. Would your Liverpool triple up be?

    A) Salah VVD Gakpo/Ekitike
    B) Salah Gakpo Ekitike

    1. jayzico
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 4 days ago

      On a FH too. I've tripled up with Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo. Risky I know, but so are Etitkes minutes and they won't keep a CS - especially when you've got Newcastle, CP and Arsenal who are more likely to.

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      3 months, 4 days ago

      B

      Prefer triple attack for this fixture.

  4. I Member
    • 10 Years
    3 months, 4 days ago

    Best Newcastle attacker for this week only? Currently in Barnes but difficult to predict who starts for them.

    1. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      3 months, 4 days ago

      Howe was practically apologising in the 0-0 Leeds post match interview for playing 3 at the back defensively.
      Unless he wants to risk the Toon wrath he has to reinstate Barnes and Elanga for Wolves at home. I think it's looking like Wissa goes straight in due to him knowing the league so having a head start on Woltemade in that regard - did Wissa play preseason though? I know he played in the international break so that suggests he's game fit.

      1. jayzico
        • 14 Years
        3 months, 4 days ago

        Hedging my bets on Elanga. Love watching the guy.

      2. #1 Salah Hater
        • 1 Year
        3 months, 4 days ago

        Thanks for the info. Brought Elanga in pre-Leeds and have had zero clue as to the reason he was dropped since that game. 3 at the back or not, Osula + Murphy starting ahead of him was ludicrous from Howe.

  5. Rupert The Horse

    Does anyone know how to make transfers in a mobile without using the app?

    1. FFS ManU
      • 3 Years
      3 months, 4 days ago

      I have been using the mobile web version and it works ok for me.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 months, 4 days ago

        Yes ok but how?

        1. FFS ManU
          • 3 Years
          3 months, 4 days ago

          There is a Transfers tab. You choose the player and then select the option to "Remove" him. Then you choose the same player and use the "Select replacement" option.

          1. Haa-lala-land
            • 5 Years
            3 months, 4 days ago

            I think the question is can you do that which you described in the non-app version of FPL

            1. FFS ManU
              • 3 Years
              3 months, 4 days ago

              Yes - that's how it works using the mobile web version of FPL via the DuckDuckGo browser on Android.

          2. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 months, 4 days ago

            Ahhhh I see. You have to click the player again. That’s definitely new. Don’t know how that is an improvement.
            Thank you very much.

            1. FFS ManU
              • 3 Years
              3 months, 4 days ago

              You're welcome. It's definitely not an improvement for the process of doing it, but I have noticed that each transfer is listed exactly how you did it now. I think that previously the Player In/Out match up for multiple defenders etc done at the same time was not always the same as I actually did.

              1. Rupert The Horse
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                3 months, 4 days ago

                Oh ok. So with that set up, they could tweak it a bit and would be an improvement down the line.

    Sorry bottomed from previous page.

    Need some help on this please.

    1. Grealish or Semenyo
    2. Ait Nourri > Munoz (yay or nay)

    Thanks

    1. FFS ManU
      • 3 Years
      3 months, 4 days ago

      I have Grealish and Guehi because I can't afford Munoz.

    2. jayzico
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 4 days ago

      1. Elanga if you can stretch to 7?
      2. Definitely

      1. DavvaMC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 months, 4 days ago

        Interesting Elanga call any reason him over Semenyo?

  7. HellasLEAF
    • 16 Years
    2 months, 27 days ago

    Start 2:

    Charlobah, Richards, Rodon, Gudmundsson

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 16 Years
      2 months, 27 days ago

      *Chalobah (likely a yes, but could concede at old trafford and not get attacking returns at United even with their poor form of late..)

      Could easily end up with a 1 or 2 pointer.

  8. PGR
    • 13 Years
    2 months, 13 days ago

    Best move here:

    A) Gakpo to Saka
    B) Xavi Simons to Mbuemo/Cunha
    C) Neither. Give both Gakpo and Xavi one more game
