Tonight’s Champions League matches could have a huge impact on the Fantasy Premier League 2018/19 landscape.
Both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, whose assets have been popular this season, are in action in the European competition.
Qualification to the knockout stages is on the line, with neither club assured of their fate.
Liverpool must beat Napoli to stand any chance of progressing, and may also have to rely on results elsewhere.
If Red Star Belgrade beat PSG then a victory of any sort will suffice, but if the French side are victorious then Liverpool must either win 1-0 or by two clear goals.
A one-goal margin of victory will not be enough if Napoli score.
Meanwhile, Spurs need to match Inter Milan’s result against PSV to secure passage to the next round.
That is not something to be assured of given that Mauricio Pochettino’s men are facing Barcelona at the Camp Nou.
At this stage, either one of Liverpool or Tottenham could end up in the Europa League or be eliminated from continental competitions altogether.
Either scenario would have a big impact on Fantasy. Europa League fixtures would mean a greater concentration of Sunday matches, especially pertinent for those playing the Sky Sports game.
Furthermore, either one of those clubs being knocked out altogether would potentially heighten the appeal of their Fantasy options with fewer fixtures to fulfil in 2019.
