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

Here, last year’s overall winner, Joaquín Roth (aka So VAR So Bad), shares his thoughts and reveals his Matchday 4 team.


Heading into Matchday 4 with two free transfers (and possibly considering a –4), my approach this week is to stay flexible, monitor late fitness updates, and most importantly, wait for Arsenal’s confirmed line-up before locking in any moves.

The fixtures are tightening up, rotations are kicking in, and while chaos is inevitable, this is the kind of round where being patient can make the difference between holding rank and climbing fast.

Team + Planned Transfers

    Average of 65 points in a single game week.
    If the trend with defcon’s and CS’s continue we will surely be looking at record points season.

    Just not for me…. 🙂

      Also all these extra chips which are played every week. I used to be happy with a score of 60 but I might need to review this.

    which option lads (2ft)
    a. Reijnders + Stach to Caicedo + King (fodder)
    b. Reijnders + Tark to Enzo + Van Hcke/any 4.4 (fodder)
    c. Reijnders + Wolt to Xhaka + JP
    d. Wolt to JP

    1. FPLamateur

      B

    Gyokeres out for Pedro (free), yes or no please?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      6 days, 14 hours ago

      Not for Pedro.

      1. timawflowers
        • 7 Years
        6 days, 14 hours ago

        Just thinking wolves at home, have mateta already

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 11 Years
          6 days, 14 hours ago

          Wellbeck and Thiago better options long/midterm imo. Unless you are just looking for one week punt?

    2. FPLamateur
      • 1 Year
      6 days, 14 hours ago

      Think Delap coming back doesn’t make Pedro as attractive

      1. timawflowers
        • 7 Years
        6 days, 14 hours ago

        Just don't know who else to pick, already have Haaland and mateta

    3. el polako

      Talking of frying pans and fires….

  5. timawflowers

    Have minteh already otherwise would have looked at wellbeck, might do 1 wk punt then swap out

    My rolled FT in UCL disappeared. Played WC in MD2, then got 3 FTs(should've been only 2) for MD2. Rolled 1 which disappeared this MD. Wonder what happened to those who also played WC in MD2 and used all 3 FTs last MD.

      "Played WC in MD2, then got 3 FTs(should've been only 2) for *MD3"

        Not sure how you had 3 FT for MD3 after WC in MD2. You can't carry forward a rolled FT after WC or Limitless. If that's the case you had 2 FT in MD3 and used both.

            Check the rules.

              I know it was a mistake, but definitely had 3 FTs and only used 2.
              Wonder what happened to Charlie Price's team since he used all 3.

                UCL FF used to be much worse for glitches. They were slow to respond to queries too or never responded. Anyways, loads of matchdays left. Brought in Saibari and captaining him tonight. In a hot streak of form for PSV and Olympiacos have been poor. https://www.transfermarkt.com/ismael-saibari/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/702869/plus/0?saison=2025&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=

    Is it mad to think of getting rid of Semenyo for Enzo. I’ve had Semenyo since the start so he’s risen to 7.5 for me but his fixtures up to AFCON aren’t amazing

    1. mookie
      • 12 Years
      6 days, 14 hours ago

      Ghana did not qualify for AFCON. avl, WHU, sun, EVE are more than decent imo.

    2. Fodderx4
      • 8 Years
      6 days, 14 hours ago

      Yup it's mad.

    3. Count of Monte Hristo

      You will regret it.

    I want Sarr in this week, below is my team and I think the best way to do it would be Donnaruma + Stach out, Petrovic and Sarr in. I have 2FT and 0.6ITB before transfers.

    Donna Dub
    Gab Timber Senesi Andersen Alderete
    Saka Bruno Enzo Semenyo Stach
    Haaland Mateta Obi

    Any other reasonable options? Saka out would be easiest route but having watched back the highlights at the weekend I think I may hold onto him.

    The above transfers would mean 352 each week, when I had hoped to move to 442.

    1. FPLamateur
      • 1 Year
      6 days, 14 hours ago

      Could do Semenyo out

    2. chocolove
      • 14 Years
      6 days, 14 hours ago

      Yes. The faster you get Sarr the better. He will leave Prem for Afcon.

    Morning all,
    Is Ekitike a hold or sell?
    Mateta for free is tempting, other strikers are Haaland and Thiago.

    I've still got Free Hit like many others
    When is the best time to play it before the end of the year ?
    Gameweek 13 looks possible with Chelsea at home to Arsenal
    By then I could have 6 players involved
    Any other potential gameweeks ?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      6 days, 14 hours ago

      Chelsea are nothing for Arsenal to fear. Don’t see that as a big enough reason to play the chip.

      1. el polako
        • 8 Years
        6 days, 14 hours ago

        Comfortable 1-0 win after a corner for the gunners.

      2. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        6 days, 14 hours ago

        6 players involved is alot though so if nothing else stands out that could be your play. GW19 could have alot of rotation around Christmas time so that’s another option

  11. Letsgo!
    • 8 Years
    6 days, 14 hours ago

    Burn to chalobah or guehi for free?
    Already have rjames though.

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      6 days, 14 hours ago

      Guehi

  12. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    6 days, 14 hours ago

    Minteh or Welbeck longer term?

    1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
      • 9 Years
      6 days, 12 hours ago

      Think Minteh as there may be other 3rd choice forwards that you want instead of Welbeck in the future.

  13. Garlana
    • 10 Years
    6 days, 13 hours ago

    Bench boost these players?

    Dubravka (West Ham Away)
    Rodon (Forest Away)
    Palhinha (United Home)
    Senesi (Villa Away)

  14. MetallicaJack93
    • 2 Years
    6 days, 13 hours ago

    Would you play Rodon or Senesi over Gakpo this week?

    Pope
    Gab Timber Guehi
    Saka Semenyo Gakpo Caicedo
    Haaland Mateta Woltemade

    Dub Reijnders Rodon Senesi
