The 2026/27 UEFA Champions League (UCL) gets underway on Tuesday – and so does the competition’s official Fantasy game.

To help give Fantasy Football Scout users an all-important edge, we are delighted to unveil our new UCL Fantasy Toolkit.

Available to Chief Scout Members, it’s full of useful information in one place.  

Here are some of the key ways our new UCL Fantasy Toolkit can help.

FIXTURE TICKER

Chief Scout Members have access to our new UCL Fantasy ticker.

Here, you can sort by difficulty, clean sheet % and projected goals for each club in every fixture.

The UCL Fixture Ticker can also help highlight potential buying and selling opportunities, as well as the best windows to play your chips.

DETAILED STATS FOR EVERY UCL PLAYER

UCL Fantasy managers can now analyse hundreds of stats for every UCL player.

This includes performances from each club’s domestic league.

There are filters for position and team, as well as many more ways to explore the data.

A player and team comparison provides even more detail to help with those 50/50 decisions.

POINTS PROJECTIONS

To help identify the best picks for every Matchday, our projected points can help managers see when a player’s prospects are expected to improve or decline.

This can help spot the best captains and differentials.

A DEDICATED DRAFT TOOL

This feature allows users to build and test different squad combinations, factoring in points projections, fixtures and more.

Here, you can sort players by position, price or team.

Various drafts can be saved under different names, which is especially useful ahead of Matchday 1.

TEAM RATER

Our team rater provides an instant assessment of your UCL Fantasy squad.

The tool generates an overall team rating, so it’s a quick and easy way to see how your current team stacks up before making any changes.

… AND MUCH MORE!

All of our UCL Fantasy articles are conveniently located in one place.

There are loads more useful widgets and tools to explore, too.

So, if you’re looking to build your initial squad, improve your latest draft or plan out your chip strategy, check out our new UCL Fantasy Toolkit.

    Assuming both are fit, is Semenyo, Maguire > Palmer, Konsa for free good moves?

    Would leave me with this and 0.5 ITB:

    Verbruggen
    Calafiori, Muharemovic, Konsa
    Palmer, Cherki, Tzolis, Wilson
    Haaland, Isak, Pedro

    (Kinsky, Gomez, Kadioglu, Davis)

    Eying up Tzolis/Wilson > Gakpo at some point too.

      Sorry for top post

      Yes good moves

        Thanks bud

    3. ted mcnure

      I personally think Semenyo is better than Palmer, so I´m not agree

      1. Bleh
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Cheers. I liked him as an option last season, but not sure now that Maresca’s pushed him out wide. Haaland/Cherki might be enough from City.

        1. ted mcnure
          1 month, 15 days ago

          I´m happy with Haaland and Semenyo. I´m a Bmth man, so Semenyo ftw

    4. Huckfead
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Semenyo seems to be playing to far out on the wing to last year. Chelsea frontline I feel will score big this year. So I have Palmer. No sold at all on there defence. After watching last Arsenal game I got rid of Tzolis immediately!

    5. bootsmanus
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I would want to see Konsa start a game before putting him in my team.

      1. Bleh
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Yes will wait for Monday evening.

  2. Sun Jihai

    AndyLTFPL will be on 101.4m team value after tonight
    I'll be on 100.3m after Mbeumo's price drop
    The price gains of the early WC were huge this year, 1m+
    Hopefully it's not also points gains!

    1. Bleh
      1 month, 15 days ago

      That’s crazy! I’m normally an early wildcarder but this season decided not to. Hopefully don’t live to regret it.

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      It's the sell price that matters

      1. Geriatric Unathletic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 month, 15 days ago

        I wouldn't necessarily agree with you there Units.. Just because you can't SELL FOR A PROFIT, doesn't mean everyone else can afford to BUY those players which have only risen the once.

    3. Huckfead
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I’m on 101.3 after discarding players that have risen. Have played WC to be fair. However, I don’t have a great fpl standing (mediocre). Happy with my set up and it’s a long run

      Cheers Rainy!
      1-0 🙂
      TV is 101.3 but SV "only" 100.1 and that's because of Cherki. Could this after a long time be a season when TV matters(?)

        1 month, 15 days ago

        I think he’s very reasonably priced; even more so with Amad out. Could easily regret selling him.

      Thanks! Dodging these 0.1m drops with some risky early transfers

  4. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 month, 15 days ago

    How is this WC with BB 5 in mind looking?
    Feels light on City and Pool
    Any suggestions?
    Will have to check the Konsa situation too

    Raya Kinsky

    Calafiori Konsa N.Williams Hall Mykolenko

    Palmer Rogers Gakpo Barnes Enciso

    Haaland Pedro Wissa

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Even Gakpo assisted those two, he wouldn't be in my team. Liv fixtures aren't improving. Another day and Szobo could have braced. Not sold on Kinsky yet, but since I just played my WC and BB last week, I haven't planned my team with gw5 in mind. Raya is good but expensive, could you find rotating keepers that are both good gw5?

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Started to think won’t even bother planning BB now and change it up.
        Good points will see what I can do based on suggestions

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Yes. If I were on WC now, I would just put all the focus on the starting XI. You can try to build some TV and save some transfers. You can even have a dead spot in your team now. One 4.0 defcon def for example. When time comes and you have some extra transfers, the opportunity will probably come. Then you just downgrade your injured Haaland or someone expensive out of form and fill that dead spot and buy gk with good fixture. That's basically 3 transfers. And perhaps you can rotate your players after that or use them for festive period.

  5. Skout
    1 month, 15 days ago

    First stab at a WC draft, thoughts? I know bench is weak but I’ve played BB already. 0.4 itb

    Verb
    Calafiori Konsa DeCuyper
    Bruno Palmer Cherki Gross
    Haaland JPedro Wissa

    Bentley Slater Ajayi Diop

    1. Ausman
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Personally I wouldn’t even consider Konsa. I’m not convinced he will start in PL games, the 4 guys who started the season are doing well and don’t see a reason why manager would drop one just to fit Konsa in. Think Konsa will be used in UCL and cup games.

      1. yousunkmybattleship
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Yeah I don’t get why people are transferring him in, seems a naive move just based on him being a 4.5. Waste of an Arsenal slot too.

  6. Zimo
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Thinking of taking a hit to fo Szobo to Gakpo. Probably nets me more points than keeping Szobo. Don't like taking hits though. What a conundrum.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      You didn't see the match?

      1. Zimo
        1 month, 15 days ago

        I did not.

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Szobo looked more threatening than Gakpo. He also won a penalty, but was marginally offside in the build up. So underlying number don't show it. Those Gakpo assists were basically lucky Ips mistakes, when Szobo somehow managed to dodge points. His shots weren't hoovered in by gk. Another day and Szobo would have assisted from corner and scored one or two.

          1. Zimo
            1 month, 15 days ago

            Thanks for the info. No hits then

    2. DeSelby
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I don't see a conundrum. I wouldn't even do that for free.

  7. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Why has the deadline been changed.
    Just lost 0.1

    1. Three Pints of Schlager
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      The question is, why are people selling Mbeumo after a haul and with Everton, Fulham and Spurs on the menu soon?

      1. DeSelby
        1 month, 15 days ago

        I blame people. They're the worst!

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Probably the idea is that people can go to bed earlier.

  8. Vazza
    1 month, 15 days ago

    All of a sudden I hate my midfield with wirtz, szbozlai, Anderson, — rogers and palmer only good players in my midfield

    1. ΒAZEΛOS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I mean, i don't really blame you bro

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Time to use WC and flush them!

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Szobo gives me some sort of Bruno F vibes last season. He at least didn't miss the pen and it wasn't his fault that the pass was given 0.3 seconds too late. Gakpoo didn't give him the ball but was being selfish in worse position to shoot. Szobo just managed to dodge points, but I wouldn't like to watch those games without owning him. Wirtz I would ditch.

  9. Freshy

    Verbruggen - Dubravka
    Calafiori - Konsa - Dedic - Ajer - Egan
    Saka - Szoboszlai - Foden - Cherki - Sangare
    Haaland - Wissa - JPedro

    2FT and exact cash to do
    Szoboszlai - Foden to Palmer - Rogers

    Would you do it?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I wouldn't know whether to sell Foden or Cherki now. There is a world where I would sell them both.

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Planned on Szoboszlai, Foden or Cherki to palmer with 0.5 bank left for options
        upgrade a defender was one but I wanted to verify Konsa before that
        Rogers is likely to bump up tomorrow so I'll see MC vs COV before

        1. Freshy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Also could do Saka and Wissa to Palmer and Isak

  10. chocolove
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Szobo here, szobo there
    Liverpool 6 goals
    Gakpo 4 involvement
    Szobo 1 involvement (penalty kick)

    1. The FPL Units

      Only been 3 games

  11. NumberSix
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Kinsky / Verb
    Shaw - Clarafiori - Gvardiol (Thomas / Diop)

    Bruno - Mbuemo - Szoboszlai - Gross - Sangare

    Isak - Haaland (Kusi-Asare)

    Thinking about a double move in a week
    Bruno > Palmer
    Kusi-Asare > Wissa

    Or should I focus on Shaw for Konsa?

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      You have time
      attacker benching problem
      Shaw is your weak link needing a fix

    2. Ausman
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Focus on GW3 playing out and then figure out if you need to make moves.

  12. RICICLE
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Hi gents, first crack at the WC which I think will and must be used for next GW

    Have missed lots of price rises already so this is the best I could do

    Verbruggen
    Calafiori - De Cuyper - Konsa
    Gross - Rogers - Bruno - Palmer
    J.Pedro - Haaland - Wissa

  13. Paddy Gooner
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Just woke up, i'm 6 hours ahead of UK time and didn't see the game last night. My plan was to trade Foden > Szoboszlai today so my GW4 transfer is done. But Gakpo got way more points? Why? should I trade Foden > Gakpo instead? I have 3 MCI now since Ndiaye moved and I'd like to get rid of at least one (Haaland stays). So My question is:
    A: Foden > Szoboszlai
    B: Foden > Gakpo
    C: Foden or Ndiaye > someone else??

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Not A
      C but no advice sorry

    2. Jet5605
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I don't mind A at all. Fulham at home is a nice fixture for Szob. I'm considering doing the same move and going Szob instead of Rogers

  14. SpaceCadet
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Better option for this team?

    A. Fh now, wc gw5
    B. Wc

    Verbruggen
    White maguire Hume
    Bruno Wirtz Foden cherki
    Haaland Pedro dcl

      Are you ready to ship BrunoF?

        Undecided

        1. Freshy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Wouldnt WC unless Bruno goes

          1. SpaceCadet
            1 month, 15 days ago

            Cheers. More tempted to Fh this gw with Liv and Che players and then reassess.

    2. Ausman
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Are you considering FH because of the Manchester derby?

      1. SpaceCadet
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Plus Che and Liv fixtures

        1. Ausman
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Use FH and then reassess if you need to hold or WC. I’m waiting until IB before deciding on WC, will have more info by then.

          1. SpaceCadet
            1 month, 15 days ago

            Makes sense, cheers

  15. Zoostation
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Early thoughts but how is this looking for a GW4 FH team…

    Martinez

    Jacquet Calafiori De Cuyper

    Palmer Saka Odegaard Gross

    Haaland Pedro Isak

    1. FantasyClub
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Surely you get Gakpo in on a FH!?

    2. FantasyClub
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I played my FH. Have Isak Virgil & Munoz.
      Tried to be too cute with Munoz didnt think Barcola would play.

  16. RoyaleBlue
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Thoughts on me wildcard team:

    Hornicek 4.0
    Gabriel Cali Konsa Ajer Egan
    Palmer Rogers Semenyo Sangare Slater
    Haaland JP Barry

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      If you think Barry is never on your bench and Semenyo and Gabriel are worth the price, I like it.
      To me Semenyo and Gabriel haven't proved value yet, but the potential is certainly there.

  17. FOREST FOREVER 2

    Both Szobo and Wirtz in 'Tema of the Week' for the time being.

  18. FantasyClub
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Guys if Thiago blanks again...
    Thiago ➡️ Isak?
    Have both on FH. Watched Isaks goals. Sublime footwork. Fulham at home looks ripe.
    Only concern is the early sub...do you guys think that will become a theme?

    1. FantasyClub
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Played the FH this week btw

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Isak is known to be injury prone, so early subs may be an issue. That early sub was warning sign imo. Perhaps he gets more minutes if the game isn't won as fast as this one. Had he played 80+ minutes I would consider buying him, but Ipswich players made huge errors for those goals. Getting him costs one transfer and ditching another.

      Yes, looks like his minutes will be managed. Or at least that's my opinion. 60-70+ minutes in the future normally would be my guess.

  19. Albrightondknight

    Swapped from a Wc 4 for BB5
    To Wc now and BB will look after itself later.
    Good variety on the Wc’s here - thoughts on this one?

    Raya Steele

    Calafiori White De Cuyper Hall Egan

    Palmer Roger MGW KDH Slater

    Haaland Pedro Wissa

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Well, you listened to my advice 😉 White to Konsa imo. My team is linked. White will prolly be dropped sooner and Konsa being 4.4 is a steal if starts next game. Raya vs Konsa has too much price difference imo. He also blocks Saka long term. But you have time to tinker.

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Well if Konsa starts this weekend he is in. I also might still be stuck in the BB mindset where I can’t risk it. Now I can. Timber might be back. If he I will want home too !!

      2. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Had a look the linked team - good few similar picks now to spread the White cash .. thanks

    Early planning with 2FT and 1.9 mln itb...

    A) Cherki and MGW to Palmer and Rogers
    B) Cherki and De Cuyper to Palmer and Konsa

    My team atm :

    Verbruggen
    Calafiori - Gvardiol - De Cuyper
    Saka - Szobo - Cherki - MGW
    Haaland - Pedro - Wissa

    Sub : Dubravka - Dedic - Slater - Egan

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I don't understand what was your original plan and what has changed. That's coin toss category. A prolly, but there could be injuries tomorrow or Sunday.

    2. The Philosopher
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Why sell Cherki before a juicy fixture?

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Manchester derby is exciting, but is it juicy? Maresca may use his squad depth, Cherki has to be minutes risk.

  21. Jet5605
    1 month, 15 days ago

    LTFPL Andy's faux last minute procrastination followed by immediate regret is hilarious. Great marketing in that it keeps eyes on his stream until the end and so fair play to him as it's him making a living. His numbers would be massiv

    1. Jet5605

      *massively lower if it weren't for that

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Yea, but he is not just acting. Some people just can't decide. And he has been too late with his transfers etc.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Fh draft. Thoughts?

    Calafiori jacquet de cuyper
    Palmer rogers gakpo gros

      Pretty good, not sure its possible to have better

    Shouldve gone Gakpo instead of Wirtz on fh but ahwell.
    Isak looked sharp but I do feel that besides Fulham next gw he wont get many easier games, trying not to knee jerk anyhow

    As if cherki is the new Marco Van Basten, crazy FPL, he will be forgotten soon...

      He's the kind of player fans love to watch but certain managers who are big on systems will have reservations. He'll always be one poor half away from an early sub and subsequent benching. Great option off the bench if you need some individual brilliance to rescue a game.

      No surprise I went Foden on WC

        I went Cherki with FT, with Foden coming in on WC6.

    Good Isak points, much needed without City players. Shame I made a late captaincy switch from Isak to Semenyo.

    1. The Philosopher

      Semenyo should outscore him.

    Was doing a provisional WC6 team and hit up with this. 0 itb.

    Verbruggen Petrovic
    Cala Konsa Egan Thomas Davis
    Bruno Foden Odegaard KDH Gomez
    Haaland Pedro Isak

    How does it look?

    1. Holmes

      Need some Fulham flavor? Granted they have not started well but 3 promoted teams is tasty.

      Not keen on Konsa, especially with 3 defenders from bottom half sides. Dont like Foden, Petrovic, Ode and Gomez as well. Rest are okay.

      no love for Palmer with Hull up next?

    Tear up the gw3 wildcards, lads - Isak's scored a brace!!

  28. GoonerByron

    After 3 GWs, is it time to give up on Wirtz?

    Straight swap to Gakpo?

    1. PartyTime

      Gakpo is a better pick. If you have no fire elsewhere, you may as well do it

      Rage sold him last for KDH.
      He’s on my “never again list” alongside such legends like “Timo Werner, Ollie Watkins or Nicholas Jackson”

    Who is your bus captain for gw 4?

    I trust Hull to be defensively resolute at the bridge, hence, Haaland(c) vs feeble man utd but it's a close call.

    1. el polako

      Joao Pedro.
      No point overthinking it.

      1. PartyTime
        1 month, 15 days ago

        His EO will be high & rightly so but Hull will be very stubborn imo. It feels like a good game for Palmer to score a pen.

    2. Holmes
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Isak

      1. PartyTime
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Good pick tbh

    3. Warby84

      Hull haven’t played a decent team yet!!

        and they wont until GW6. ;0)

    On FH who would you rather have out of Haaland and Fernandes if you had to have one

    Any ideas would be appreciated

    1. PartyTime
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Without a doubt, Haaland.
