Champions League

The best players to sign and captain for UCL Fantasy Matchday Five

The business end of the UEFA Champions League group stages brings us some mixed fixtures in Matchday Five.

Six teams have already qualified for the knockout stages, but there are some important battles to take place before we know who the other 10 competitors for the second round. 

Form and qualification will come into play a lot more over the next two weeks so, with that in mind, here is a look at what to expect in UCL Fantasy and who to back ahead of this week’s fixtures. 

Captains Sensible

Tuesday, December 1

Sensible

As we have come to learn from playing Fantasy Premier League, if in doubt, give the armband to Mohamed Salah (€11.6m). Liverpool know that victory against Ajax can see them qualify for the knockout stages and will not want to leave it until the last Matchday. 

Salah needs no introduction, but with a goal narrowly disallowed against Brighton at the weekend and nailed-on penalties after James Milner’s (€6.0m) injury, he may well take responsibility for qualification into his own hands. 

Differential

I really struggled to find a pick here. I have plumped for the starting striker in what is the only plum fixture of the night on paper. Atalanta have been in poor form domestically, but after his performances in Matchday One and Two and their great win against Liverpool, I’ve placed my faith in Duvan Zapata (€9.7m). 

Opponents Midtjylland are yet to pick up a point in the group stages and Gian Piero Gasparini will know that a win will do wonders for their chances of qualification. Zapata has been their talisman so far in the competition and will lead the line again on Tuesday. 

Wednesday, December 2

Sensible

This has to be Erling Haaland (€11.0m). A win will see Dortmund not only qualify, but be guaranteed group winners. Haaland is the top scorer of the group stages so far, with back-to-back braces taking him to six goals in four games. No-one seems to be able to stop the Norwegian wonder-kid and Dortmund should comfortably have the quality to beat Lazio. 

Differential

With five goals so far in the competition and his late red card on Saturday ruling him out of the next league game, Alvaro Morata (€9.0m) should get the nod up front for Juventus against Dynamo Kiev. 

While the Italian giants have been thoroughly uninspiring so far this season, Morata has been their saving grace on more than one occasion and Dynamo have been poor throughout the competition and struck badly by injury and positive coronavirus (COVID-19) tests. 

Who to bring in?

My rule here is to back players and teams who still have something to play for. The big sides which traditionally fill our teams have mostly qualified by this stage and will be heavily rotating, as we’ve seen with Bayern Munich leaving Robert Lewandowski (€12.0m), Manuel Neuer (€6.0m) and Leon Goretzka (£7.6m) at home for their trip to Madrid. 

Atletico Madrid know that they have to beat Bayern to leave qualification in their own hands and if they are to win, João Félix (€9.0m) will be involved. Borussia Dortmund need a win against Lazio to secure their qualification, with flying full-back Rafa Guerreiro (€6.0m) and attacking midfielder Gio Reyna (€6.5m) both top picks who look sure to start. 

Atalanta have been in poor form domestically, but last seasons quarter-finalists have two must win fixtures on the horizon. Wing-back pairing Hans Hateboer (€4.9m) and Robin Gosens (€5.5m) showcased their prowess at both ends against Liverpool and will be instrumental in any success the Bergamo side have from here on in. 

The teams in Group B and Group H still have all to play for, with PSG and Real Madrid among their ranks. Karim Benzema (€10.5m) is back fit and will be at the heart of Real Madrid’s action in Donetsk, the same defence which Borussia Mönchengladbach scored ten past over Matchdays Three and Four. 

Gladbach themselves come into this game in top form and Alassane Plea (€8.2m) and Marcus Thuram (€8.7m) will look to take advantage of an Inter Milan defence which looks far shakier than their recent form suggests. 

Group H is really too close to call, but PSG should have the quality needed against Manchester United and Istanbul Basaksehir to regain form and qualify. Kylian Mbappe (€11m) and Neymar (€11.4m) have looked poor so far in the competition, but only months away from their Champions League final loss, I have faith that the two will carry this side to the knockouts. 

Who to avoid?

As I’ve mentioned above, this is a stage in the competition where the European giants take a back seat. Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Barcelona, Chelsea and Sevilla have all qualified and expect both lacklustre performances and rotation as a result. 

Not too many injuries have been picked up since last week, with Eden Hazard (€9.4m) perhaps the biggest casualty. 

Good luck everyone.

    Wilson rising before his match gets postponed? 😀

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Wish FFS would do a report on it being potentially postponed to stop people bringing him in. He’s part of my transfer plans and messes everything up going up 0.1

  2. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Martinez and Grealish to Jota and Mendy lolks tempting...

    Exact money too

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I wouldnt take another -8

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      You'll want Grealish back in.

    3. Camino Aleatorio

      EPL says that clubs are supposed to keep a U21 team in a different bubble. For this exact purpose.

      So, NU needs to call up Three or Four U-21's... that's not that bad.

  3. JELLYFISH
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Annoyed with myself for missing the Mahrez price rise last night. Plan was to bring in for Zaha....I guess now I might as well wait until after the UCL games

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Mahrez is a headache to have

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Real headache dealing with 21 points?

        1. Lucky Z
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          You can accumulate past GWs points?

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

            Some folks like transferring players right-after a total freak occurrence

            1. JELLYFISH
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Fulham at home is worth a punt for those of us unable to fund KDB, Sterling etc imo

        2. TKC07
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          More than Sterling's return from last 6 GWs - 18 pts for 11.5m,
          And 1 less than KDB's return from last 6 GWs - 22 pts.

    2. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I'm planning on getting Mahrez too but want to see if he plays tonight, probably best to wait despite the rise

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

      Mahrez is Arabic for "Trap"

      Seems you should not be chasing his best career performance. Heck, he might play today in UCL and then won't play versus Fulham,

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        In a crazy alternate universe a player who scores a hat-trick for his team in an important match also starts for his team in their next important match

  4. Manani
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    who to get rid first?
    Son
    Kane
    Mitchell

    thinking keeping spurs for a few more weeks as arsenal not exactly good, and liverpool backline is still bad.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      The one who has been dropped

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Depends on who for and if you need Mitchell to play to put out 3 defenders

      1. Manani
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        my backline is James Chiwell Cancelo Lamperty
        so is possible Cancelo/James get rotated and I will be left with 2 (though unlikely at the same week)

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

    lol just saw something funny.

    Sterling has 7 points over the last 5 gameweeks.
    Bissouma has returned 9 points in last 5 gameweeks.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      How about Bissouma has returned 9 points in just GW4...

      1. TKC07
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Bissouma entire season 21 points..
        Mahrez 21 points GW10.

        1. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          You shoudl definetly get Mahrez then!

  6. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    planning to do the following in the next 2-3 weeks, and not sure how to order it:

    DCL --> Bamford
    Ziyech --> Jota
    Son --> Salah

    Realistically do all 3 next GW for the Liv-Ful game for a hit?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Would keep all tbh

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        yeah just more scared about no Liverpool attackers for a decent run of games

    2. Poison Apple
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      If these r ur 3 trf. Without any budget constraints, u can roll ur FT and decide to do all 3 next gw.

  7. PlayPercentage
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Has Kilmann lost his place in the Wolves team?
    I thought it was between him and Saiss. But then Marcal was selected for the last game.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Switched to a back 4 and played Marcal Boly Coady Semedo

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

      Was bound to happen

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

      They switched to a back 4

  8. nico05
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Will Jiminez drop tonight? And who is the best replacement with 8.3 available?
    A. DCL
    B. Ings (Although mins will be limited this weekend)
    C. Something else?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      DCL or Bamford

      1. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I was thinking DCL but his fixtures turn tough after this weekend don't they

    2. Poison Apple
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      If u done decently without DCL, im sure u dont need him for the next few too

      1. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        That was my thinking. Would Jimi - Brewester & Oriol Romeu - Jota make sense? Benching Brewster and playing Jota in place of Jimi be a good move?

        1. Poison Apple
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Jota is a decent choice esp if u think he starts vs fulham.

          But generally 8.3m for a fwd is a weird position, i reckon going a 6-6.5m option n use the money to upgrade other positions is a better use if u wish to stick with 343

          1. nico05
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Cheers that sounds like sound advice. My other two fordwards are Mitro & Wilson so not a very heavy forward line

  9. jtreble
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Over two (2) million transfers already made this game week. Interesting.

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I just don’t get it. There seems to be more early transfers this season than before, when this season we have a pandemic!

      1. jtreble
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Two million + transfers so far this game week seems to be an extraordinarily high number. I'm not sure why so many managers have done their FTs so early this GW.

  10. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Grealish to Jota if the game is cabcelled. Then get Grealish back in GW13.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      *cancelled

    2. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      How likely is it that the game will be cancelled?

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Don't think it's that likely. Surely they got a lot of healthy U23s.

        1. nico05
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah I thought as long as they had 14+ healthy players to select from the game goes ahead

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

            My University played a North American-Football game with just 30 players. In this sport, that is insanely few and nearly won the match. They had to use lots of teenagers versus 21 and 22 year olds.

            Newcastle should just stop acting like a Little %$@!# and play ball.

            Sign Kevin Keegan for a single match and let her RIP!

            Time for the real Santiago Munez to show up.

              Why are you talking about some eggball?

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

      I can't. Too much value held in him to lose for only 1 game

  11. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Sell Cancelo if he starts tonight

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

      Yes

    2. Slitherene
      • 6 Years

    Podence = 653 mins played = 40 points
    KDB = 652 mins played = 39 points

    1. Holmes

      Dallas

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

        C for me. Burnley is Garbage. DCL is gonna troll his sellers this week.

        Dallas can score. The kid gets upfield and rips shots every game. He's the new Lordstram.

    2. Poison Apple
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      C for me. I think i would gamble maybe 1 pt for more upside in B.

  15. lordkippe
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Good evening! I got 2FT but cant really se how to use 1 of them. Do you guys have any suggestions ? .2 ITB btw

    Martinez

    Chilwell - PVA - Cancelo

    KDB - Sterling - Fernandes - Grealish - Jota

    DCL - Richarlison

    Forster - Brewster - Coufal - Neco

    1. Garlana
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Cancelo to someone more nailed

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Want to keep Richarlison and Van Aanholt?

      1. lordkippe
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        For this week yeah. Will start moving them out later. Plan is PVA/cancelo/Richa downgrade + Sterling > Salah in gw 12

    3. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Cancelo to Dias

      1. lordkippe
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        That seems a good option. Guess how they line up tonight will give me som more thoughts on that. But definitely an option

    4. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Keep Calmcelo

  16. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Sucks that even Leeds & West Ham have crap fixtures this week.

    Would have liked to transfer one of their defenders in to cover the Villa vs New blank.

    Even Wilson to Bamford will probably be a blank this week.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Is blank likely to happen?

      1. Poison Apple
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Its more likely the game will remain in the same gw. But never say never they say

    2. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      What do you mean? Wham has good fixture?

  17. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Okay to save a FT??

    Forster* | Martinez*
    Robertson Justin Taylor Lamptey
    KdB Bruno Ziyech Soucek
    Vardy Richarlison

    Found this interesting. EPL teams ranked by p90npxG+xA (FBRef):

    2. built_this_city
      • 6 Years

      ive literally got no idea what you are on about

      1. jtreble
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        The p90npxG+xA stat = per 90 minute non-penalty expected goals + expected assists.

      2. Well you know, Triffic
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Buy Leeds and Villa players.

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

      I think it's non-penalty xG + non-penalty xA, per 90 minutes. Assume for the season so far but don't think there's a reference to that in the unbreakable code

    4. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Shocking that Chelsea is that low at this stat

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

    I doubt the game will be called off

    The Premier League's coronavirus protocols say the game would only be postponed if Newcastle had fewer than 15 players available for the game, but each case will be determined individually.

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      "Sky Sports News has been told the Premier League now deal with each situation on a case-by-case basis."

      It will be called off.

    Would you WC this team (1 FT available - 2.0m ITB)
    McCarthy - Steer
    Konsa - Zouma - Robbo - Cress - Taylor
    Mane - Son - Jota - Romeu - Stephens

    Any news on Wilson? Asking for a friend who brought him early in FanTeam instead of brining WIlson 🙂

      Eh?

    I agree. Newcastle will be doing everything they can to call it off and will be publicly lobbying for it soon enough. It's the same as all the "null and void please" relegation-threatened teams during the restart last season. And the result will probably be the same too, i.e they will be told to get on with it.

    What did we learn yesterday about Fulham v Leicester?

    (1) Don't bank with Vardy
    (2) Leicester is a mid-table club
    (3) Fulham has found life
    (4) VAR and Last Second PKs are only given to Bruno. There was a handball in minute 95. ROBBBED me of 12 dang points.

      4. Change bruno to Man U

      5) FPL managers show frustration for Captaining Vardy in innovative ways, with options.. 😉

    Che Adams?

    Is he worth owning? He is an influential player and partners well with both Ings and Walcott.

    Nailed. No UCL. No England. No Europa.

      I've loved owning him. Had to ride it out a bit at the start but he's really come good with consistent returns

    2. JELLYFISH

      Che or Wilson both decent budget picks (although the latter dependent on the villa fix obviously)

  25. Whats the Mata?

    If the Villa Newcastle game is postponed, would you still keep hold of Martinez or sell him? Especially if he's your only playing keeper?

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Nah, he'll be gone.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      Not sure who I would go for. Downgrading to McCarthy doesn't give much cash either.

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Might take the opportunity and get rid of Targett/Grealish

    3. Poison Apple
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      There is more chance the game will go on than it be postpone.

      Next, why waste a trf on a keeper who has gd upcoming fixture. n if u believe u r right abt the postpone, a double/triple gw? Surely there must be better use of a trf for other positions.

    4. CONNERS
      • 5 Years

      Keeping and playing 10. Don't see the sense in losing a player who'll have 2 dgws in a month or two.

      I appreciate you can get him back or use FH but I don't see the point of selling him for the sake of one game.

    5. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I would play my backup keeper and save Martinez for his double gameweek. If I didn't already have a backup keeper I would sign Sam Johnson.

      Villa is a punt-ish club - just leave it alone.

      Martinez is one of my GK, not my only GK

      Grealish is my 4th MF, not my Flag Ship.

      No worries if they don't play but big gains if they play vs NU's U-21's or the NU Ladies team

    Anyone thinks Bielsa is gonna rotate his team like Pep does when lots of fixtures will come for Leeds?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I don't think he's known for it but has to make some with the congested fixtures, morning pep like I don't think

      • Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        not a chance. Some minor rotation and reduced minutes at most

      • CONNERS
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Its City's squad that allows Pep to do that. I'm not sure Leeds' has quite the same depth...

        Bielsa will make minimal changes. Typically he only makes changes for injuries.

      • Camino Aleatorio

        3 years, 3 months ago

        everybody will.

      I hear Joe on the scoutcast talk about not wanting points on his bench.
      Well he’d be impressed with mine... Just noticed the last 2 gw’s in a row I’ve had a total of -1 from all 4 players lol.
      Let’s hope I don’t need to call on them!

        It annoys me when he bangs on about that. Yes, you don’t want to bench players that get more than the players you’re playing. But what about when you need them? I had Kilman come in for Cancelo. People will be relying on their bench if the Villa game is cancelled, if you’re bench consistently gets 1 point then surely that can only be bad news?

        1. Saka_me_sideways
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah I agree but it’s a double edged sword.
          I like to have decent players to call upon if needed, but hate having points wasted on the bench.

      Help! I'm getting rid of Guaita despite west brom next. Fully expect 0 pointer with a YC. I'm looking at:

      A) Fabianski
      B) McCarthy
      C) Other 4.5

      Seems the cheapies are yet again proving value with save points and massive 10/11 pointers but Fabianski is so good on bonus

      Anyone playing UCL fantasy?

      What you think of this limitless team, any changes?

      Oblak Szczesny
      Gosens Romero Hakimi Angelino Hummels
      Salah Mane Sterling Sancho Bruno
      Haaland Gomez Ronaldo

      1. lugs
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        looks good, Salah + Mane seems like overkill though

        1. FantasyHero
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Who else to get tho?
