Champions League

UEFA Champions League Fantasy Football is back – what you need to know

The Champions League is set to resume in February with the knockout stages next month – and the official Fantasy game for the competition returns with it.

Even players with poorly performing teams can resurrect their season, with unlimited transfers allowed before play resumes.

We are bringing you more content on this game than ever before this season, and you can expect position-by-position guides over the next fortnight as well as regular articles to follow when the action commences.

Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea have made it through to the knockout stages along with 13 other teams, with games from February right up until the final on May 29.

In this piece, we’ll go through all of the key information ahead of the knockouts and remind you of all the rules and how they differ from Fantasy Premier League.

KEY DATES

Players can make unlimited transfers up until February 16, right up until the first two games of Matchday 6, kicking off the Round of 16 kick-off.

The first legs of the Round of 16 include mouthwatering ties like Barcelona vs PSG and Liverpool taking on RB Leipzig.

Matchday 7, made up of the second legs, begins on March 9, and ends March 17.

The quarter-finals are scheduled to begin on April 6, with the semis kicking off on April 27.

The final, which will be played at the Attaturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, is scheduled to be played on May 29.

KEY PLAYERS

With points awarded in other categories (more below), the tops scorers are not made up of the usual suspects.

The game’s current topscorer is Atalanta defender Cristian Romero, with 50 points.

A defender who Premier League fans will recognise currently sits in second, with Angelino of Red Bull Leipzig scoring 46 points.

One of the more recognisable faces near the top of the charts is Neymar, with 40 points currently to his name.

BRIEF RULES

To summarise the game in one sentence: UCL Fantasy managers get €100m to spend on a squad of 15 players, who earn points based on their on-field performances in the Champions League.

Anyone who has played Fantasy Premier League will have no trouble in picking the game up, as many of the rules are exactly the same or very similar:

  • An initial budget of €100m (which rises to €105m from the last 16 onwards)
  • Pick a squad of 15 players
  • No more than three players from each club (that threshold rises once the knockout stages begin)
  • Select a starting XI in a valid formation for every ‘matchday’ (the UCL equivalent of a ‘Gameweek’, which incorporates both the Tuesday and Wednesday fixtures)
  • Select a captain who earns double points
  • Make free transfers between matchdays

Those are the fundamentals but there are one or two quirks of the game that require a bit of explaining, which we will cover below.

SUBSTITUTIONS

How to play UEFA Champions League Fantasy Football - a beginner's guide

If you prefer the hands-off approach to Fantasy management, auto-subs occur if any of your starting XI fail to feature and there is a playing substitute on your bench – providing that player doesn’t break the formation rules (a minimum of three defenders, two midfielders and one forward).

Where UCL Fantasy differs is that it also gives managers the chance to make manual substitutions instead.

After all matches on a single day (eg Tuesday) have finished and before the next matches within that matchday kick off (eg Wednesday), UCL Fantasy managers can:

  • Replace a maximum of four players (unless they have been sent off), with any of their substitutes whose teams are yet to play within the matchday.
  • Change their captain to another player from their squad whose team is yet to play. The original captain’s double points will be lost and the new captain’s score for that matchday will be doubled.

As an example, say you have selected Mohamed Salah (€11.6m) for Liverpool’s matchday 7 clash with RB Leipzig on February 16.

If the Liverpool midfielder fails to feature or returns a middling score of, say, two points, you can then replace him with one of your substitutes who is in action on February 17.

TRANSFERS

As we mentioned earlier, free transfers are allowed between matchdays.

Like in Fantasy Premier League, UCL Fantasy managers can roll a maximum of one free transfer – although only in the group stage.

For every transaction you make beyond your quota of free transfers, you’ll take a hit of four points.

The below table details how many moves are allowed at each stage of the competition:

Phase Number of free Transfers
Before the group stage beginsUnlimited
Matchday 1-62 per matchday
Between Matchday 6 and round of 16 1st legUnlimited
Before round of 16 2nd leg3
Before quarter-final 1st leg5
Before quarter-final 2nd leg3
Before semi-final 1st leg5
Before semi-final 2nd leg3
Before final5

CHIPS

There are two chips available to UCL Fantasy managers: Wildcard and Limitless.

These chips can be used only once per season and, once played, can’t be cancelled.

Wildcard

As in FPL, the Wildcard gives you the chance tochange your squad as much as you like. When you play it you can make free unlimited transfers and any players you transfer in will stay in your squad once that matchday has finished.

Limitless

Limitless is the equivalent of FPL’s Free Hit chip and gives managers the chance to change their squad for one matchday only.

Once the matchday has finished, your squad will return to how it was before you played the Limitless chip.

Rather excitingly, there are no budget restrictions when activating Limitless – so, should you wish, you can pack your squad with the most expensive assets in the game.

SCORING SYSTEM

Again, the scoring system is a very familiar one.

Most of the player actions and the points on offer tally with FPL, although there are one or two notable differences.

A goal scored from outside the box gets an additional point, for example, while the acts of winning and conceding a penalty are rewarded and punished respectively.

Players also gain points through ball recoveries, which gives the more defensive-minded players a chance to rack up a tidy score.

Over half of Virgil van Dijk‘s (€6.0m) 2019/20 points total in UCL Fantasy was made up by recoveries, for example.

    easy save, have an eye on Jack to Maddo should he get booked vs Newcastle

    Ederson
    Dias Stones Robbo
    Grealish Mo Bruno Son
    Watkins Antonio Bamford

    Johnstone Targett Soucek Coufal

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

      Prefer Barnes but only do the move if Grealish gets the 5th booking

  2. Runaway
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    KDB>Gundo/Foden this week enables me to do Wilson>Kane/Vardy next week, would you do it?

    Team atm:
    Martinez
    Cancelo Stones Coufal
    Salah KDB Bruno Son Grealish
    Bamford Wilson
    4.0 Dallas Dier Brewster
    1 FT 0,2 ITB

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

      Only if KDB misses a couple of games. I'm eyeing up Kane but not until GW23

      1. Runaway
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Indeed, I forgot to say if KDB confirmed out. If not, I will roll the FT.

    2. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      either this (prefer Foden) or straight swap to Sterling for me

    3. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Good moves if KDB out. I prefer Gundogan. Definitely passing the eye test.

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

    Did anyone get less than a disappointing 8 points on BB?

    Johnstone Bamford Raphinha Rodrigo

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Rough, I almost hit BB until Leeds-Soton got postponed.

      My bench has a total 6 points all out.

    2. Jimbo-Jones
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      6 for me.
      McCarthy, D-Reid, Pieters (game v Pool still to come), Dallas

      Absolutely horrendous, but total score of 117 + Salah + Pieters to come so would have taken that at beginning of GW!

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

        Leeds Soton postponed killed the BB but made the silly decision to stick with BB19 after WC16.

        Currently on 109(-8) with Salah and Martinez left. Wish the Vardy hit paid off in the DGW.

    3. Henning
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      21 on BB with Martinez left.

    4. Captain Vantastic™
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Mark is that you?

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

      12 here with Wilson to go. Not happy unless Wilson does something

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

      I was very close to bench boosting. If I had done it I would've had a bench of:

      I had Johnstone, Zouma, James and Bamford. That would've been bad!

  4. JoJoRed
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Now that the week 18/19 madness is over I need to start planning my team again. Covid aside when can we expect blank/double game weeks again. Quite a few teams who haven’t played 19. Thanks for any help

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

      Next big double and blank is DGW26 and BGW29. There will smaller DGWs as well

      1. JoJoRed
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks

    2. Saka_me_sideways
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I think gw23 has been mentioned on here for the Leeds v saints game potentially.

  5. tafrère
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I watched Foden in a lot of games now and can't see how he's a good player. Very average to me.

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He was & has been there most creative & attack minded player?

      1. tafrère
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        De Bruyne much more creative than Foden lol.

        To me Foden is overrated because he's english. Like Rashford for instance.

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

      I think we are watching different games here. Currently Foden is better than Sterling and Mahrez in that front 3 at the moment

      1. PompeyUpNorth!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Agreed

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

        But Mahrez and Sterling are playing so bad, it isn't difficult.

    3. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You have to be fishing here

    4. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      foden can look very slick at times, but his end product last night was appalling.

      that being said, Sterling looks horrendous right now.

    5. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      And yet he's the top scorer of one of the biggest teams in Europe.

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

      KDB aside he is city's best player in attack. You are only looking fplwise I guess

    7. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I dunno what you're watching but to me he's been exceptional these last few games.

      Last game, he delivered the most crosses and created the most chances of all the City players. He also has very high pass completion and has good attacking awareness to get in the right positions.

  6. Ian Davis
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Very important matter: There is a Red Devil emoji, so why those at FFS Towers insist on using the purple one for Man Utd is just beyond me.

  7. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    dont forget about saka boys if your shipping KDB,hardly a mention cos so much has happened since monday ,5.3 and 6.6 in coins left over ,quality player gonna be 7.5+ next year..

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Good point. But would you get Saka or Gundo?

      1. Jordan.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        both absolutely

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          You're not gonna get both because the midfield is so competitive for slots.

          The power 5 are still in play and still looking good. Salah, KdB, Bruno, Son, Grealish. And then you have Gundo, Saka, ESR, Maddison all knocking on the door.

          1. Jordan.
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            your a good judge camzy but for me that power 5 can easily be reduced to 2
            kdb,
            ive not had him all year ,hes a lot of money for what hes providing
            grealish
            doesnt sem to be on corners,f/k or pennos any more ,gundo,saka at least 2m cheaper and doing the same job
            son
            great player no doubt ,but his ceiling has been ruined by spurs dropping deep whenever they go 1 or 2 up just my take on it camzy not a debate mate ..

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

      On paper, Arsenal have some tough fixtures from GW20-30 with couple of 'easier fixtures'. Saka and ESR are good 5th mid enablers if you have the space

  8. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Matheus Pereira could be a good shout after the City game. Has FUL & SHU to play. Bring him in for the 2 games...

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

    Martinez
    Robbo Cancelo Dias
    Salah KDB Bruno Grealish Raphinha
    Antonio Bamford

    (Steer Cresswell Mitchell Brewster)
    1 FT & 0.3m

    If KDB is out for GW20?

    A) KDB ➡️ Son
    B) KDB & Brewster ➡️ Gundogan & Kane/Vardy -4
    C) Keep KDB and start Cresswell

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      C. Have 2FTs ready to better evaluate.

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

        +1

    2. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      C with Bruno&Grealish both on 4 yellows and KDB injury warning 2 FT will be handy

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

    How's the team looking for GW20? Good to save FT and bench Soucek ahead of Coufal and Raphinha?

    1FT 0.4itb
    Martinez
    Stones Cancelo Cresswell Coufal
    Salah Bruno KDB Raphinha

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

      Looks good. Might you bump KDB down to Rashford or someone if he's injured, and maybe then upgrade Holding to a man utd defender to set you up nice for the next few weeks?

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

        I'm not a fan of Rashford as an FPL pick. I would rather go with Son. Over the upcoming GWs, I plan to downgrade Holding to Mitchell for the 5th def. Use the funds elsewhere and probably lose a WHU def

  11. Phlajo
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Not owning KdB at the moment, but I'd like to get him in.

    If he's injures is Auba an insane punt/placeholder for KdB?

    And, would you rather lose Maddison or Rashford for KdB?

    Other mids are Salah, Son, Bruno

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

      Arsenal have tough fixtures from GW20-30. I would rather bring in Saka/ESR than Auba if you are considering an Arsenal player.

      Rashford is too inconsistent. I would rather have a cheaper mid or Son than Rashford

    2. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      i wouldn't be thinking about KDB right now. He's obviously a top player, but those in front of him are generally in poor form so the chances he's creating aren't getting finished. If you are worried about City I would just go Gundogan.

    3. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Think I’m gunna get rid of him.

      My team have been carrying him for most weeks I’ve had him.

      Been a massive let down when you factor in his cost

  12. No Professionals
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Regardless of whether not KDB is injured or not, moving him on to Gundogan is starting to feel like a good move. Struggling to trust him with captaincy (two of his four double figure returns have come in games where you wouldn't have really considered him). 12m for someone you're not going to captain feels too much.

    20 - Bruno
    21 - Kane
    22 - Salah
    23 - Kane
    24 - Bruno

    Johnstone
    Dias Stones Coufal Dallas
    KDB Bruno Salah
    Kane Bamford Antonio

    Steer Soucek Mitchell Alzate
    1ft 1.4m

    KDB and Alzate (over the next 2 weeks) to Gundogan and Son (with 2.4m to spare) feels like a smart move?

    1. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    2. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      KDB is by far the best captain GW21 if fit

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        and we keep saying that whenever they have what looks like an easy home game.

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Why is that the case? He's got like one goal from open play and looks shattered every time I see him

          1. jomikijiq
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            1) fixtures - huge difference between SHU and bri

            2) underlying metrics translate much better into future points than GA over a short sample

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

        I agree with the KDB cap comment. He is not as an explosive and premium option to cap compared to Bruno, Salah, Son and Kane. He is probably the premium player I would lose to bring back Son and Kane.

        1. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          yeah, i've looked back... Palace, Newcastle, Brighton, WBA all at home, just the odd assist and single bonus point.

          the guy looks like he needs a rest (pep starting him in the FA cup game was a joke), and the attackers need to buck their ideas up.

      4. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah its looking very obvious for me:

        This week Gundo for KDB
        Next week Kane and Son for Rashford and one of Watkins/Antonio/Bamford...probably the latter.

        1. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          yeah if you are going to do it, it needs to be this week, doing it before the SHU game is asking for heartache

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

        I think the question here might be Gundo vs Cancello

        I perfer Dallas and KDB to Son and Cancelo

        1. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          really, i'd take son and cancelo all day long

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

            sorry bad wording. I prefer you doing Dallas and KDB to Son and Cancelo rather than KDB and Alzate to Son and Gundo

            1. No Professionals
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              my heart can't take a defensive triple up, see your point though.

    3. built_this_city
      • 6 Years

      How many points are we predicting for big mo salah tonight?

      Hes my captain, i'd LOVE, LOVE a goal from him

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I'd be surprised if he didn't get one.

      2. aapoman

        As my TC I'm hoping for at least a 10 pointer

        1. Henning
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Hope he get a goal att least. Aiming for 150 points with Salah (c) Taa and Martinez left.

          1. built_this_city
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            on 102 (-4) here with Salah C and Grealish.
            Would love to be on 120 after the hit

            1. Henning
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Well, i took -8 and used BB. So My Score maby isnt that great.

              1. Henning
                • 9 Years

        1 is too low an expectation, I expect much more.

        Needs at least 2 attacking returns for me to keep his place in my team. Watching Liverpool huff & puff against crap like WBA & Newcastle has become a real chore, doing the same vs Burnley would be the final straw.

        As a TCer I would take an assist and 6 points tbh if offered it.

        No feeling remotely confident on current form...thought the rest would do Liverpool good in general but seen no improvement.

      6. The Hunt
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He's been well below form recently and he looks like the player Chelsea sold so he'll very probably walk off with the match ball.

        30 points from bench boost, because I started my Leeds players and benched Coufal Fabianski Bruno, Werner for the added psychological advantage of it looking like a successful BB. #chessnotcheckers

          that's tough why AWB on the bench tho

            To accomodate Soucek and Wilson LOL

          Plenty of other GWs to use BB. At least you never spunked it on Johnstone, Raph, Bam and Rod for 8 points!

          1. sovietrockettes

            aw, that's bad luck.........I doubt I'll have more than 22 points on my bench any time soon!

        Would a Watkins and Wilson brace each be too much to ask? Gameweek a bit of a flop for me no Stones, no Antonio and TC KDB...

        Assumed he would get 9 at worst he only got 8

        1. aleksaa2
          • 7 Years

          Have you watched any of Newcastle's games?

        2. mwa1t
          • 3 Years

          Doubt Newcastle will score. Watkins could get a goal or two

        What are you guys doing with KDB?

        Already transfered him out and if so for whom?

        Waiting for injury update to decide but keeping for juicy fixtures if he's declared fit?

        Planning to transfer but waiting for gw to finish? If so, what are your targets?

        1. mwa1t

        2. aleksaa2

          Grealish and Gundogan atm.

          Waiting for news as is the right thing to do.

          But, in some ways, I hope it's more serious (and I don't mean in the respect of I want ANYBODY to be injured!).

          Will be the perfect excuse to get rid without any regrets and then think seriously about how to restructure my team with the extra cash

          Foden/Sterling if more than that, then Son GW23

        Vardy and Cancelo over Antonio and Stones absolutely battered me this week haha.

        1. Pukki Party
          • 6 Years

          Vardy C and Cancelo only ManCity player here. Awful week, team looked okay before deadline and 0.1 short of Antonio.

          Had Stones, but took a 12 pointer
          Brought in the wrong 3, inc Soucek instead of Antonio

          I had a draft (only did 2/3) of Maddison Antonio and Gundogan

          I can't say I totally messed up as I'm on 107 (-4) with Salah, Pieters and Wood left to play, but I do have some stinkers in my team. I played bench boost, Zouma didn't play, Lindelof only played one game, Meslier didn't play at all, Bamford did nothing, I can't say I'm not expecting much from the Burnley lads. Could have been a lot better!

          I seriously wonder if he might keep pens as well. I honestly don't think KDB enjoys them at all.

          1. The Count of Monte Cristo
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I've just guessing here but Sterling missed last 3 and Gundogan scored this one whilst Mahrez was on the pitch so I would assume for the time being whilst KDB is not there he is first choice in the short term?

        3. aleksaa2
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Camzy made a post about stats comparison yesterday between Gundo and Sterling. Gundo in the last few weeks is a much better option. If I recall correctly he was the best option in MCI attack in that period.
