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

Unlike in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), where it’s hands-off management after the deadline passes, there are changes UCL Fantasy managers can make midway through a Matchday, including captaincy.

Below, we’ve put together a guide to the league phase calendar so you can see who the best armband candidates are every day.

There’s more focus on Matchday 3 but we’ve namechecked players who could be made skipper in future Matchdays to come.

DAY-BY-DAY CAPTAINCY PICKS: MATCHDAY 3

TUESDAY 21 OCTOBER

Many will likely look to Erling Haaland (€10.5m) on Tuesday. The Norwegian may be playing away from home, but he goes into his match against a leaky Villarreal side in relentless scoring form.

Those chasing a high upside option could turn to Lamine Yamal (€10m). Barcelona play in the early kick-off against a poor Olympiakos side, so UCL Fantasy managers can access the line-ups and take action prior to the deadline. Yamal has been one of the best-performing midfielders in Europe this season, coming up with a goal or an assist in all but one of his matches.

WEDNESDAY 23 OCTOBER

Wednesday is a little more straightforward for captaincy. Bayern host Club Brugge after winning every one of their fixtures this season. Leading the attack is Harry Kane (€10.6m), who could well add to his 20+ goal season tally.

Those who want to avoid Kane, for any reason, could consider Galatasaray striker and penalty taker Victor Osimhen (€7.5m) for his home match against Bodo/Glimt, or even Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman (€7m) versus Slavia Praha.

DAY-BY-DAY CAPTAINCY PICKS: MATCHDAY 4-8

Looking further ahead, here’s a briefer look at some of the most eye-catching fixtures and captains in Matchdays 4-8.

Plenty can change between now and then, of course.

However, for planning purposes (ie you’d want a strong captain candidate on each day), here are some of the best options.

Matchday	Tuesday	Wednesday
4	Alvarez – Union SG (h) Saka – Slavia Prague (a)	Dumfries – Kairat (h) Haaland – Dortmund (h) Enzo – Qarabag (a) Raphinha – Club Brugge (a)
5	De Bruyne – Qarabag (h) Haaland – Leverkusen (h) Williams – Slavia Prague (a) Yildiz – Bodo/Glimt (a)	Goncalves – Club Brugge (h) Mbappe – Olympiakos (a) Salah – PSV (h)
6	Kane – Sporting (h) Porro/Kudus – Slavia Prague (a) Raphinha – Frankfurt (h)	Guirassy – Bodo/Glimt (h) Hakimi/Dembele – Athletic Club (a) Saka/Gyokeres – Club Brugge (a) Yildiz – Pafos (h)
7	De Bruyne – Copenhagen (a) Haaland – Bodo/Glimt (a) Hakimi/Dembele – Sporting (a) Mbappe – Monaco (h)	Kane – Union SG (h) Palmer – Pafos (h) Raphinha – Slavia Prague (a) Salah – Marseille (a)
