The 2025/26 UEFA Champions League (UCL) resumes with Matchday 4 on Tuesday โ€“ and so does the competitionโ€™s official Fantasy game.

Weโ€™ll have plenty of UCL Fantasy coverage before the deadline to help you with your teams.

Here, one of our Pro Pundits, FPL Milanista (aka Obay), shares his current team and some expert tips on the game.

Obay knows what heโ€™s talking about, too, with finishes of 344th, 141st and 31st in recent seasons and a current rank of 163rd!


MATCHDAY 4 – A TRICKY GAMEWEEK?

Matchday 3 was a bit of a letdown for me – nothing disastrous, but definitely below expectations. It ended up being a mediocre week, and I dropped outside the top 100. I now sit at 163rd overall, which isnโ€™t terrible but still a bit frustrating considering how well things started.

Now we move into Matchday 4, and I knew from the beginning this was going to be a tricky one. Anyone who planned the ‘Matchday 2 Wildcard and Matchday 5 Limitless’ strategy probably saw this coming – Matchday 4 was always going to be a tough week to navigate.

The main issue for me is that I currently have only four outfield players playing on Tuesday, which, in my books, is far from ideal. It increases the risk of benching headaches heading into Wednesday and weโ€™ve all been there before.

I did briefly consider pulling the Limitless chip forward and using it this week instead, but after looking at how my team would shape up for Matchday 5, Iโ€™m not convinced thatโ€™s the right move. Therefore, as things stand, sticking with the original plan still seems like the smarter long-term play.

    Gyokeres looks like he will be out for gw11. Best replacement? Or keep and hope he comes back? He hasn't been good enough in fpl to deserve patience imo.

    Looking at the following as replacements, but none is a standout option.

    1) Pedro
    2) Ekitike
    3) Woltemade
    4) Welbz
    5) Thiago

    Welbz is one of the cheaper option but any Brighton fan to shed light on how they think Welbeck will do in the upcoming fixtures?

      I'm going Pedro

      1. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        9 days, 6 hours ago

        you had him before? Or you are bringing him firs time?

      Good post, I think many are dealing with this exact dilemma. I recently switched out Woltemade for Mateta as Gyokeres's Burnley fixture was too good to get rid.

      After they play Arsenal, I'll definitely be looking at WIlson Isidor, but from more expensive players Woltemade or Pedro.

        I did the same move. I was contemplating on doing Gyok > Mateta but i feared gw10 might have been the game where he explodes and tbh if it wasnt for the injury and Saka's poor finishing, he might have done just that. Sometimes its just being lucky/unlucky in this game.

    3. el polako

      Any of the above 5 is an upgrade on Gyokeres.
      The injury is a blessing for stubborn owners.

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        9 days, 5 hours ago

        This. Lucky owners forced to remove the worst pick in the game

    4. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 days, 5 hours ago

      All seem equal
      I went Thiago for financial reasons
      Money in the bank is good

    5. HAKUNA MATETA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      9 days, 5 hours ago

      Pedro for fun next 2. Thiago for long term.

  2. Ødegaarsson
    • 1 Year
    9 days, 6 hours ago

    UCL rank: 780

    VMSavic - Carnesecchi

    Dumfries - Burn - Gabriel - Gusto - O'Reilly
    Olise - Gordon - Calhanoglu - Saka - Fermin
    Kane - Haaland- Osimhen

    2 transfer... what should i do?

  3. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    How can you have had Fermin Lopez and still had a mediocre week! ๐Ÿ˜€

  4. MetallicaJack93
    • 2 Years
    9 days, 6 hours ago

    Roll this?

    Pope
    Gab Timber Guehi
    Saka Semenyo Gakpo Caicedo
    Haaland Mateta Woltemade
    Dub Reijnders Senesi Rodon

  5. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    9 days, 5 hours ago

    How are these moves looking for 2FTs?

    Woltemade + Reijnders -> Thiago + Minteh + 1m itb.

    2. HAKUNA MATETA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Sarr. Weve scored five in the last 2 against them and sarr is hungry for goals.

      1. HAKUNA MATETA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 1 Year
        9 days, 4 hours ago

        also cant see caicedo racking up much defcon in this one.

        Thankyou mate!!!! Will go for sarr!! Was unlucky to not get Atleast one return this week

    On BB

    Who is the best Stach Replacement to have for -4 (max 5.5m)

    Rest of Team

    Raya
    Gabriel Rodon Keane
    Fernandes Semenyo Minteh
    Haaland Bowen Mateta

    Dubravka Cucurella Senesi

    Kudus > Caicedo is my FT

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Punned It
        9 days, 2 hours ago

        Well, if you're not playing whoever you're getting for Stach, why not wait a week?

    2. Von Lipwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      9 days, 5 hours ago

      GW10

      Raya (Dubravka)
      Gabriel Timber Guehi (Senesi Gudmundson)
      Semenyo Bruno Grealish Kudus (KDH)
      Mateta Haaland(c) Woltemade

      GW11: Kudus > Enzo
      GW12: Grealish > Sarr

      Thoughts?

      1. TheBiffas
        • 4 Years
        9 days, 5 hours ago

        Good moves

    3. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      9 days, 5 hours ago

      Why is there a nottingham forest def in the scout pick ?

      1. Mother Farke
        • 1 Year
        9 days, 5 hours ago

        Leeds at home, the Dyche factor.

    4. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 days, 5 hours ago

      Reijnders and Kudus need to go, in all likelihood, is it worth a -4 to do Wolte to Pedro as well?

      Sanchez
      Gabriel Munoz Milenkovic
      Saka Semenyo Kudus Minteh
      Wolte Haaland Mateta

      2FT

      Alternatively downgrade Saka who has been largely disappointing and get Rice instead?

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        9 days, 5 hours ago

        Just do the first two transfers, no need for a hit

    5. TheBiffas
      • 4 Years
      9 days, 5 hours ago

      Give kudus 1 more week then sell for Gakpo, or do it now?

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        9 days, 5 hours ago

        Keep Kudus for a week.

        1. TheBiffas
          • 4 Years
          9 days, 5 hours ago

          Cheers

      2. z13
          9 days, 5 hours ago

          Are you sure Gakpo is the best option

          1. TheBiffas
            • 4 Years
            9 days, 4 hours ago

            I'd like a Liverpool player for their good run of fixtures

        • The Hunt
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 days, 5 hours ago

          I got rid for Rice. There's 16 midfielders you'd want in your team before him if you used ppg as a guide.

          1. The Hunt
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            9 days, 5 hours ago

            ...and Gakpo too for that matter.

          2. TheBiffas
            • 4 Years
            9 days, 4 hours ago

            Rice not an option for me as I'm on triple arsenal already. I like Gakpo for the upcoming fixtures

      3. Solly The Seagull
        • 8 Years
        9 days, 5 hours ago

        Roll and BB this team? 3ft 0itb

        Pope
        Gabriel Timber Diouf
        Saka Enzo Sarr Ndiaye
        Haaland Mateta JP

        Dubravka Minteh Rodon Senesi

        1. TheBiffas
          • 4 Years
          9 days, 5 hours ago

          Yeah easy roll

      4. Budweiser
        • 11 Years
        9 days, 5 hours ago

        After Chelsea's game - Grealish (FUL) to Caicedo (WOL)?
        Getting Grealish in after his first two games was a big mistake and I don't know if its worth doing a sideways transfer to N'Diaye

        1. G Banger
          • 7 Years
          9 days, 5 hours ago

          He hit the post and would've got an assist if it wasn't a sitter being missed. I'm keeping for now. Am looking at other routes to Caicedo (WOL)

      5. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        9 days, 5 hours ago

        Anyone keeping Temu level striker WolteMade in China?

        1. z13
            9 days, 5 hours ago

            Good one but yes I am keeping him, if another HT sub comes he'll be out but Howe saying this
            'In fact, I don’t think I have since I’ve been manager of Newcastle, so I felt the team needed some shaking up at half-time, that’s why I did what I did.'

            1. Sun God Nika
              • 5 Years

              leave him be , he complains about everything - FPL Virgin's second account

          • 16 Years

          Afternoon all,

          My current team is:

          Raya / Dubravka
          Gabriel / Senesi / Lacroix / Gudmundsson / Alderete
          Saka / Semenyo / Sarr / Enzo / KDH
          Haaland / Mateta / Bowen

          I'm looking to Bench Boost next week... and the team has good matches bar Alderete... Having had a look at who has a good fixture this week (for the BB), plus decent ones coming up... I'm looking toward James as a good replacement. Considering the squad... good move or not? It'll be for free.

          1. z13
              9 days, 5 hours ago

              As long as the transfer isn't better spent elsewhere in a few weeks

          2. G Banger
            • 7 Years
            9 days, 5 hours ago

            Wish I hadn't rage transferred out Pedro, but here I am:

            Dubravka
            Lacroix, Diouf, Gabriel
            Gakpo, Saka, Semenyo, Grealish
            Woltemade, Haaland, Gyokores*

            Vicario / Senesi / King / Gudmundsson

            Got 1FT, should I just do the obvious of Gyokores => Mateta?

            1. z13
                9 days, 5 hours ago

                Yes

            2. OverTinker
              • 7 Years
              9 days, 4 hours ago

              Gyokeres + Gudmundson to Welbeck + Gabriel for a hit? Yes or no

              • 10 Years
              9 days, 4 hours ago

              Start Pope or Dubravka?

              1. Bobby Digital
                • 8 Years
                9 days, 4 hours ago

                Pope
