Champions League

UCL Fantasy: Tuesday review, Wednesday preview and tips for substitutes and captaincy

The UEFA Champions League and its Fantasy Football game have returned with a bang. If you had Angelino (€5.0m) in your team, Lionel Messi (€12.0m) as your captain or Charles de Ketelaere as a €4.5m option, then congratulations.

For those whose captains didn’t haul and are in need of some big-hitting substitutions, then that’s what this article is here for.

For the uninitiated, the UEFA Champions League Fantasy game allows managers to make manual substitutions and captaincy changes after the Tuesday round of games has taken place but before the Wednesday matches begin.

Last Night’s Review

The highest-scoring match of the night saw both Barcelona and Ferencvaros live up to expectations. This isn’t necessarily a signal that Barcelona look particularly strong going into this campaign – their easiest game is now behind them and next week’s visit to Andrea Pirlo’s Juventus will be a much sterner challenge.

Juve’s opponents from yesterday, Dynamo Kyiv, look to be stronger at the back than their Hungarian counterparts, so it’s probably worth avoiding the hype around Blaugrana until we’ve seen more. 

PSG were uncharacteristically terrible to lose to an Axel ‘Maldini’ Tuanzebe-inspired (€4.0m) performance by Manchester United and should recover comfortably in next week’s visit to Istanbul Basaksehir.

As with Barcelona, those that will inevitably pile on Angelino after his four-minute brace yesterday evening will do well to consider that this was RB Leipzig’s easiest group game and he’s unlikely to have the attacking freedom or lack of defensive responsibility we saw yesterday evening. 

Chelsea, Sevilla, Rennes and Krasnodar all looked fairly equally dull going forward in their Group E games, but it is good to note that Chelsea really are looking much more solid with Eduoard Mendy (€5.0m) between the posts.

Club Brugge lived up to expectations as a decent attacking force to beat a poor Zenit St Petersburg side in Russia, with the 4.5m pairing of de Ketelaere and Wilmar Barrios both putting in strong performances for different reasons. 

In the other game in Group F, a surprisingly powerful Lazio side swept aside Borussia Dortmund in Rome, although it was good to see Erling Haaland (€11.0m) open his account for the season early.

Captaincy

This author tends to have a rule with changing captaincy in UCL Fantasy: six points or less is worth a change, seven or more probably too risky.

Who to change to is the tough question for today. There is no longer a safety net after Wednesday’s matches – you have to get this one right. Luckily, there are a plethora of options from this evening’s games. 

Atalanta have the pick of the fixtures from an attacking point of view as they look to get back to the form that saw them score 13 goals in their first three games of the season. They are expected to start a front three of Alejandro Gomez (€8.5m), Luis Muriel (€8.5m) and Duvan Zapata (€9.5m) for their visit to Danish minnows Midtjylland and any of those should prove to be solid captaincy options. 

Premier league darlings Raheem Sterling (€10.5m) and Mohamed Salah (€11.5m) also have two solid fixtures. Salah beats Sterling for form but with Liverpool’s growing injury list, Ajax may look to capitalise.

Finishing off the captaincy options are the two safest options of the week. Robert Lewandowski (€12m) and Romelu Lukaku (€11m) both bring top form into these fixtures, although Inter’s game at home to Gladbach should give him more of an opportunity to produce a score to match or outscore Messi’s 11 from last night. 

Substitutions

Who to bring on and who to sub off is often a tough decision in UCL Fantasy and a decision that has to be made depending on the state of your squad. 

Just a few notes on substitutions for this evening. After Serge Gnabry (€10.0m) was ruled out of tonight’s game for Bayern Munich with a positive COVID test, make sure he’s out of your lineup. Also, watch out for news this afternoon of any more positive tests within the German giants – they are reported to have all been tested and be expecting results back at about 2pm UK time. For those with the likes of Joshua Kimmich (€6.5m) and Lewandowski on the bench, watch out for this news before you bring them on. 

Assuming Bayern don’t report back any more positive tests, perhaps think twice before subbing on any Atlético defenders if you have a strong line-up already – it’d be a surprise to see a clean sheet for Simeone’s side – but obviously the circumstances are different if you have a sea of one and two-pointers knocking about.

Luckily we will know if Sergio Ramos (€6.5m) starts for Real Madrid before the deadline as they play in the early kick-offs, so make sure you wait for that news if he’s sat on your bench. 

Aside from the news, be sensible with your substitutions – four or five points is normally enough to keep a player on the field for and don’t try and shoehorn on subs just for the sake of making them.

Good luck for tonight’s games, all!

    Any hits or g2g? Was thinking Kane but need a -8 for that? Is he essential??

      kane not worth a -8 for away at burnley

      1. ilikewud
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He's not worth a minus 8 but Burnley has got nothing to do with it. They're letting in 2 goals a gw against fairly weak opposition and are still missing Mee

  2. RamaJama

    kdb/Jimmy to Grealish/Kane worth -4?

        Crossed my mind, but with Kilman not nailed could be a spectacular waste of transfer. Especially if Ferguson comes back soon!

      I like it

    3. claretparrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Like it. Esp if Lamptey and Ayling rotate nicely.

      Downside is you've got few options if Kilman loses his place and you have one other injury

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        having one cheap defender is fine imo

        1. claretparrot
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah agree. I've got Ferguson!
          Although my 5th mid is Soucek who I'm more than happy to play (wouldn't say the same of Bissouma even with his goal a couple of weeks back)

          1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I think Bissouma is alright he may get a few more screamers this year. Soucek a lot better though. I have anguissa lol.

    4. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      looks good, prefer saiss to chilwell personally as wolves better defence but chilwell isn getting forward a lot and takes corners so still looks a decent pick.

      Also I own saiss so I'm biased.

    5. SpagBol
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      thanks all for comments, should i get Struijk at 4.0M, looks to be a OOP defender

    6. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Robertson is the only question mark longer term for me. Without VvD and Adrian in goal we don't know if he will continue attacking like before and clean sheets can be an issue. On the other hand, there isn't probably much that you could do with that money. I am considering shipping him out soon anyway.

      1. claretparrot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Think the injuries are a good reason to get off double defence quickly. I'm planning to hold Robbo until the attacking output dries up though rather than try to call it in advance

    7. Ginola
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Looks perfect. Only issue maybe Ayling who could potentially move to CB with Phillips out? I'd go Dallas instead.

      1. SpagBol
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Bielsa has said Struijk replacing Phillips so...

    8. 1zverGGadeM
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Too many Villa boys, but not bad at all

  7. linkafu
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    A

  8. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    There's actually a decent chance Targett is the one on pens for Villa.

    1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      has he ever taken one?

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        100% record - took one and scored it in a reserves game in 17/18

        1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          wow he will definitely take them then

    2. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      😆

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He's on set pieces which is often a pointer. No idea why people are claiming Barkley should be on them, his pen record is shite

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah I'm not sure why people saying Barkely, I always think if in doubt the main man at a club will take them... in this case Grealish would step up.

        Fingers crossed as I own him.

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Grealish pen record is pretty bad but I agree the main player should be taking them as it shows responsibility. He is definitely good enough to get a good pen technique if he puts in some extra focus on that in training

    Lads, a quick help here:

    Ryan / Walton
    TAA / Lamptey / KWP / Dallas / Mitchell
    Salah / KDB / Son / James Rodríguez / Harrison
    Jiménez / DCL / Brewster

    A. KDB to Bruno
    B. KDB, Jiménez to Pulisic, Kane (- 4)

    P.S. What is up with Özil/Arteta/Arsenal after all? Surely it's something personal..

    1. RamaJama

      B

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Considering nearly the same move, just Grealish instead of Pulisic

          1. sirmorbach
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Now that seems to be a good call

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I might get even Grealish or Barkley over Pulisic, but B

        Appreciate it, sir

      Che Adams to whom? Max 7.0
      Salah mane son (reed bissouma)
      Werner DCL ****

      1. Vlekz

          Will be a place holder for Antonio

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            if you will get antonio in a couple of weks is it worth spending a transfer on that spot now?

            1. Vlekz
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Adams has been a disaster. The chelsea goal was kepa/zouma gifting than him scoring.
                Isn't it better to get someone else for 2 weeks than keep him? The way goals are being scored it could be a 10-12 point swing

                1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 5 months ago

                  Adams has had chances to be fair to him mixture of good keeping/rusty finishing from him. I'd just keep for 2 weeks, seems a waste of a transfer

                2. claretparrot
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 5 Years
                  3 years, 5 months ago

                  I own Adams too and felt that the nature of his goal made up for bad luck/wonder saves in previous games. I'm in no rush to get rid and certainly don't think he's been a disaster

          2. Zimo
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Maupay

          3. Tonyawesome69

          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Kilman or Struijk for 5th defender?

          Struijk named to play in place of Phillips at 4.0M could be a shout?

          1. Pukki Blinders
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Probably get more games out of Strujik

          2. Tonyawesome69
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Struijk at 4.0

          3. SpagBol
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            This is my defence though:

            Robbo Chilwell Lamptey Ayling xxxx

            Is it too risky to go 2 Leeds defenders and better to spread out with 1 Wolves and 1 Leeds?

            1. Pukki Blinders
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              That’s a luxury, I’d focus on game time. I see Kilman being dropped soon

            2. Klaren
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              You probably wouldn't want to start double Leeds defence anyway so I'd go with Kilman and start him when he has better fixtures. If he doesn't start, he is unlikely to come in anyway.

        • Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Can’t decide here... have no Spurs or Villa currently

          A) Son + Maupay
          B) Kane + McGinn

          1. 1zverGGadeM
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            A

          2. ReindeerHotdog
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Currently have Son and McGinn but am actually looking to bring in Maupay this week for a hit and next week get Kane.

            Like the look of all four. McGinn has nice underlying stats and heavily involved in a very attacking, very much in form side.

            Maupay has a lovely fixture this week. Burnley away will probably not end in a rout for Spurs. I'd go out on a limb and say Maupay's ceiling is quite high this week.

            Really like it.

            I do feel like going without Robertson is a slight risk but I get why you've saved the money.

            I especially like the Rashford pick. Really good player and as a midfielder in Fantasy his goals are more valuable and gets clean sheet points.

            United aren't firing on all cylinders at the moment though so it may be a bit soon, that's all.

          Barnes or Podence to James Rodriguez?

            Probs Barnes as leicester don;t look great, podence is cheap and playing up front so he's not too bad a pick.

          Barkley or Grealish?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Grealish for me, still main man for them

          2. Pukki Blinders
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Grealish if funds aren’t an issue

          3. Bavarian
            • 6 Years

            Grealish easy

          4. teneighty

            I'm not a member so I can't se the stats but I'm going with the talisman theory and getting Grealish.

          5. Zenith UK

            McGinn. Save the monies

            1. linkafu
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              I think with Barkley now in the team McGinn is less a fantasy option than last season

              1. ReindeerHotdog
                • 3 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                McGinn's stats look quite good.

                Barkley coming in probably diminishes Grealish's Fantasy appeal, too.

                They've added another attacking midfielder who can very likely take points away from other attacking players. Could also increase the likelihood of them getting points.

                Incredibly hard to know after two games.

            Could he rise before tonight or are price rises all pretty much at a set time?

              They're all at the same time, which is around 2am every day in the UK i think. Someone could get to 180% by midday and still not go up til the following 2am.

              Hope that explains, although i'm not sure about Dier specifically. I have him, so i'm hoping he hangs on a couple more days so i can switch him next week if he's still injured.

            Salah over Kane for capt seems to be the consensus here.

            Another tricky decision. I’m still leaning towards Kane!

            Any thoughts ?

            1. Fuddled FC
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              I can see why you're on Kane..him and Spurs are scoring lots and Burnley are not so solid as last year

              But..

              Salah v SU at home edges it for me...

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

              3 years, 5 months ago

              Salah for me.

              Has scored 50 goals in 58 home games for Pool alongside 20 assists. often against weaker teams.

              Burnley have not conceded many big chances and there won't be any space for kane and son on the counter.

              • 10 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Both are probably going to score 6-7pts, so not much in it. Going with Salah just because he is at home

                  Hope so, have been long time since I got a double digit return from him when captained. I guess last year Vs Norwich in GW1 was the last one 😆

                    You just need to captain him every other week like I do 😉 although I missed the villa haul which was annoying

              I am on Kane. I don't think Burnley are very good at the moment, and I think Dyche is is bit fed up

              • 6 Years

              Too early to judge, at least have a closer look after the CL/EL games and then take the decision. Im with Mo atm, but everything can happen till deadline

            Have you ever just felt like an absolute tool?

            I have Martinez and I was thinking, hey, why not bring in Grealish or a Villa defender for some more cover. Swapped out Pereira for Grealish, then I get the notification saying that I have too many players from Aston Villa. Wtf?

            Then I realise that the two dirt cheap bench players I have are Nyland (Goalie) and Davis (Forward). How did it come to this...

                He isn't! He's got a big old red flag. I think I need to bite the bullet and waste a transfer on bringing in another budget keeper.

              • 10 Years

              Nobody knew Villa would be top. Or Liverpool would let in 7 and United 6 on the same day. Or Wolves would turn crap. Or Kane would turn into Hoddle. Or Son would turn into Kane. Or DCL would become Lewindoski.

              I wouldn't beat yourself up...

                Ah no it's more that it's pretty funny! Like you say, I didn't plan on needing more Villa players!

                  Probably Davis to Brewster is a way to free a spot.

                    Thats true.

              • 3 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Im so glad I went with 2 Villa keepers + Grealish, so I can't triple up on them, that will end in tears

              1. ReindeerHotdog
                • 3 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Probably saved yourself a lot of trouble long term.

                One of Grealish/Watkins/McGinn is enough. Would you really want double defence? And can you genuinely expect Villa to keep up their attacking form?

                It's a case of eggs in baskets - I wouldn't be putting too many together.

            Would you do this?
            Jimenez and R James to Kane and Ayling (-4)?

                Do it, Kane is on fire and is better than Jimenez. R James will be bench

              I know Wolves are disappointing and Jiménez not in form, but Newcastle at home? That seems like a bad time to ship him.
