UCL Fantasy 2025/26: Winner’s team reveal + chip tips

The 2025/26 UEFA Champions League (UCL) campaign begins on Tuesday – and so does the competition’s official Fantasy game.

We’re providing plenty of UCL Fantasy coverage in preparation for the big kick-off, plus regular articles throughout the season.

Here, last year’s overall winner, Joaquín Roth (aka So VAR So Bad), shares his thoughts on chip strategy and reveals his Matchday 1 team.

After winning the 2024/25 UCL Fantasy overall title, I’m excited to share my first official team reveal on FFScout.

I usually play with a fairly balanced style at the beginning, trying to be aggressive on fixture targeting with a bit of risk-taking when it feels right.

Below, I’ll walk through my current draft, main strategy, and some of the doubts I still have before the Matchday (MD1) deadline.

Overall Strategy & Chip Plan

UCL team reveal chip strategy

My general plan for the group stage is to keep things flexible but also take advantage of the early rounds when fixtures are clearer and most big teams field their strongest XIs.

At the moment, I’m still weighing up three possible chip strategies with the Wildcard (WC) and Limitless (LL):

1. WC4 + LL6/7

        Agree re Palace - thinking Newcastle or Sunderland defender instead.
        Do you have a plan to get Isak in?

          You asking me?

          I think I’m coming to the realisation that Gyokeres may be a better option that Isak for 1.5m less, on penalties and with less competition for his starting spot

      I thought he looked very bright and the fixtures are better. I'd keep him over Gakpo just about. Everton and Palacec won't be easy games.

    Thinking of rolling FT this week and do a double transfer (Salah & Watkins --> Palmer & Haaland) next week, to triple captain Haaland. Alternative strategy is to upgrade Guiu this week (up to a 6.6 FWD) and play BB. What do you think? Team looks like this for GW5.

    Dúbravka
    Muñoz - Milenkovic - Porro - Diouf
    Salah (C) - Bruno - Semenyo - Rogers

    UCL fantasy, any must haves or genius advice out there?

    My three picks are Rodinei, olympiacos def with crazy attacking return last year, plays on the wing a lot, Richarlison, nicely rested and the only real option with tel not included in squad and solanke out, and Geovany Quenda, def but mostly plays on the wing, possibly the best gw1 fixture from anyone. His only competition, Catamo, is injured for at least md1, by which time you will probably sell him anyway before napoli.

    Post yours below (or awkwardly leave it blank )haha

        Will keep an eye on it
        Crazy how cheap some players are
        In fact, here is a squad of only starters, 4.0 defending players and 5.0 attacking players all actaully alright picks

        Suarez elyonoussi moro
        Vanaken Alikouche Saltnes Gloukh Berguis
        Buongiorno Rodinei W. Anton Bellanova T.Araujo
        Meret Scherpen (or Jaros)

        2 of these currently in my team, another 4 made the shortlist.

        Budget really is no issue in this game, i have 3mil itb and no-one i want to upgrade!

          Saltnes is out with illness, but would recommend him as best Glimt option when fit (I watch a lot of Norwegian football & play fantasy Eliteserien btw).

          I'm not taking too many punts since there's quite a few underpriced options in defence (would add Zabarnyi/Chevalier to your list), but Can Uzun (Frankfurt mid) looks a fun punt at 5m, and for GW1 only I'm on Pedro Gonçalves for the Kairat fixture

            Upamecano and Porro are my medium ownership players

              Høgh is back fit if you want a cheap forward for tonight. By far the best striker in Eliteserien (although the forward spots are so competitive in UCL...)

              Glimt pricing is a bit off - Høgh should be 6m (or definitely more expensive than Hauge), Saltnes 5.5/6. Hauge should be 5m mid

                He was in my team for about 3-4 days but rn i have Haaland Thuram Richarlison and cant drop any of them.

                Tried playing elitesieren fpl once but lost track of it among my (no joke) 6 other fantasy games all running as well.

                With the closing of my france and italy games, i have abandoned both nordic fpls and focus solely on ucfpl and fpl. I do a little sorare (f2p dont kill me) which actually worked out lucky as i have some cards worth about 150 euro despite no money invested. Not serious about that though.

                I also would do the world cup/euro and yes the club wc embarrasingly.
                But on the bright side i only have 2 major ones atm and am cutting down 🙂

                  Eliteserien and UCL are my favourites I think. Don't really enjoy FPL as much as I used to. Probably largely because there's no content creators (actually there's 1 I suppose) and much smaller player pool for Eliteserien so winning is a real possibility and I generally do a lot better than FPL. I also used to live in Norway. With UCL I like the shorter format so you can be more aggressive and also the need to do a bit more of your own research on multiple leagues.

            Main reason to avoid the paris laads is that zab does not look nailed, and also just the really tough draw.

              Yeah I'm still not sure about PSG - really underpriced, terrible fixtures (I'm looking to WC5/LL8 I think), but then they are very capable of CS even against teams like Bayern. At 4m Zab still could be a good enabler. Chevalier more nailed but it's a shame he doesn't rotate well with any of the good cheap backup options like Meret (plays all the same dates so can't sub them). At the moment I'm tinkering between Vicario/Meret/Zabarnyi or Meret/Zetterer/Porro

        Read some greek news with the help of google translate
        most seem to think he will make it, but one was saying he ought to be rotated.

        Think i will take the risk, but if it doesnt pay off i have 15 good players

        will probably sell him and quenda gw2 anyway, as you can only roll 1 transfer but i dont like cutting players based on 1 week.
        Barring injuries, he is a one week punt.

            Yeah, you'd probably need to see some injuries to Spurs left hand side to make Johnson a viable pick in the near-term.

        I don't think 1GW is enough info to suggest he's "nailedish" or "first choice" yet. Martinelli got back late from Bolivia and that gave Arteta an opportunity to start Eze imo

    If I do WC in 6, It has to be either BB8 or BB9.. BB9 does look better but Chelsea have midweek ucl and a game vs Sunderland just 2 days after so I fear rotation there..

      You already know the answer. It looks good but zero bench insurance so play out contingencies over the next few GWs to see if it works. Going a week early means you're committing to triple Arse v City, but you already knew that.

      The advantage of doing the wildcard into Gw8 is that you deal with a late flurry of injuries and strains and any South American travel returns etc.

        So I came close to winning it last season. Was inside the top 1% , in fact, UEFA sent a badge via their fantasy site. Do you have any idea how it hurts? … revealing my team could jinx my luck this season you think?

        My tip will be some players in my team since i’m a nice fella like the ladies think. I’ll recommend 7 players for you buddy 😆 he he

        Kane, Olise/ Díaz, Gonçalves, Hakimi, Doan, Raphinha, Mbappe.
