The 2025/26 UEFA Champions League (UCL) resumes with Matchday 4 on Tuesday – and so does the competition’s official Fantasy game.

We’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 he’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 isn’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 we’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, I’m not convinced that’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
        5 months, 8 days 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
        5 months, 8 days ago

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

    4. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 months, 8 days 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
      5 months, 8 days ago

      Pedro for fun next 2. Thiago for long term.

  2. Ødegaarsson
    • 1 Year
    5 months, 8 days 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! 😀

  4. MetallicaJack93
    • 2 Years
    5 months, 8 days ago

    Roll this?

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

  5. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    5 months, 8 days ago

    How are these moves looking for 2FTs?

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

        Thankyou mate

    2. HAKUNA MATETA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year

      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
        5 months, 8 days 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
      • 1 Year
      5 months, 8 days ago

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

  8. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 months, 8 days 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
      • 5 Years
      5 months, 8 days ago

      Good moves

  9. Sun God Nika
    • 5 Years
    5 months, 8 days ago

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

    1. Mother Farke
      • 2 Years
      5 months, 8 days ago

      Leeds at home, the Dyche factor.

  10. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 months, 8 days 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
      5 months, 8 days ago

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

  11. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    5 months, 8 days ago

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

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 8 days ago

      Keep Kudus for a week.

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        5 months, 8 days ago

        Cheers

    2. z13
        5 months, 8 days ago

        Are you sure Gakpo is the best option

        1. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          5 months, 8 days ago

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

      • The Hunt
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        5 months, 8 days 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
          5 months, 8 days ago

          ...and Gakpo too for that matter.

        2. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          5 months, 8 days ago

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

    3. Pylynen
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 8 days 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
        • 5 Years
        5 months, 8 days ago

        Yeah easy roll

    4. Budweiser
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 8 days 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
        5 months, 8 days 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
      5 months, 8 days ago

      Anyone keeping Temu level striker WolteMade in China?

      1. z13
          5 months, 8 days 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
            5 months, 8 days ago

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

      2. Pep Roulette

        Best time to use WC & LL in UCL Fantasy?

        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
            5 months, 8 days ago

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

        2. G Banger
          • 7 Years
          5 months, 8 days 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
              5 months, 8 days ago

              Yes

          2. OverTinker
            • 7 Years
            5 months, 8 days ago

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

          3. bso
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            5 months, 8 days ago

            Start Pope or Dubravka?

            1. Bobby Digital
              • 8 Years
              5 months, 8 days ago

              Pope
