How to play UEFA Champions League Fantasy Football 2021/22 – a beginner’s guide


The group stage of the 2021/22 UEFA Champions League (UCL) campaign kicks off on September 14, just after Gameweek 4 in Fantasy Premier League – and the official Fantasy game for Europe’s premier club competition is now live (official game app here).

There are some incredible prizes on offer in this free-to-play Fantasy game, from UEFA Champions League final tickets to Playstation 5s and replica shirts.

And we’ve also launched the official FFScout UCL League (Pin code: 33TKWHOD07), offering you a chance to win extra game round and seasonal prizes beyond the above.

You can launch in right now to start your team tinkering, and unlimited transfers are allowed before play starts.

We’ll be bringing you more content on this game than ever before, with position-by-position guides over the next week and regular articles to follow when the action commences.

Once again it’s Liverpool, the two Manchester clubs and reigning champions Chelsea as the Premier League representatives amongst the 32 teams involved in this year’s tournament, with the six group stage matchdays all taking place before Christmas and the knockout rounds starting next February.

In this introductory piece, we’ll talk you through the basics of the game.

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

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 Mason Greenwood (€8.0m) for Manchester United’s matchday 1 clash with Young Boys on Tuesday 14 September.

If the United forward 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 Wednesday 15 September.

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:

PhaseNumber 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
FFScout Head-to-Head Leagues 2020/21 season review

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 to change 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 40% of Jorginho‘s (€6.0m) 2020/21 points total in UCL Fantasy was made up by recoveries, for example.

    Sanchez
    TAA - Reguilón - Livramento
    Salah - Raphinha - Benrahma - Gray
    Ronaldo - Lukaku - Antonio

    (Steele - Duffy - Bissouma - Williams)

    Probably the last time I can afford this beautiful WC team before I’m priced out. Should I just ignore the sensible option and pull the trigger? Cheers! :/

    1. FantasyHero
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Solid!

    2. JT11fc
      • 5 Years

      Looks good

    3. Oi! Shadders!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Isn't that four Brighton players?

      1. Ibralicious
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Steele can sub out for any other 4.0

    4. LarryDuff
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Very good, personally I'd lose Lukaku and beef the midfield. Warner could play some easier fixtures and Chelsea don't typically rip teams to shreads

    5. rozzo
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Don't like 3 premiums.

      I wouldn't want to play Livramento and Gray every week.

      How many points are you expecting them to get?

  2. FantasyHero
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Best sub 4.5M def:

    1. Kilman/coady/Marcal
    2. White
    3. Williams

    Will bring in for gw4 but dont have to use this defender for gw4 but will def will need after that.

    1. Jaws
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      1

    2. LarryDuff
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      1, play the fixtures

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

    9.6 to spend on 2 def with TAA - Shaw - Livramento. Would you go:
    A. Reguilon + Coady/Marcal or
    B. Dier + Saiss

    1. FantasyHero
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A.

    2. BENOIT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I like Marcal

  4. Hits Magnet
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    This WC crap is tough ... too many big hitter options and you're forced to leave out too many good players

    My latest draft dumped Fernandes and Salah to bring in Ronaldo, Jota and Lukaku which just doesn't feel right.

    Any comments on the below?

    Sa
    TAA, James , Stones .....DuffyM Liverm
    Raph, Jota, Traore, Torresm Gray
    Ronaldo, Lukaku, Antonio

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

      I know it's boring but I honestly think Salah and one of Ronaldo and Lukaku is the way to go. Bamford, Jimi or DCL could all do a job up front in the third forward slot.

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Salah's gona kill you

    3. FantasyHero
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      What's the news on firmino

    4. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Look down...

    5. SouthCoastSaint
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Don’t forget the money you’ll have to invest in a sofa to hide behind when Salah plays …

      You just have to have him. Chelsea game prime example. Didn’t have that many chances but score a pen and BAM 10 points

    6. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      get Salah and Jimi for Traore and Lukaku? Downgrade Gray if needs be

  5. BENOIT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Currently only have Salah as a premium.

    Team looks good this week, but which move?

    A) Mane & 4.5 ----> Smith-Rowe & Lukaku (-4)
    B) play Mane (lee) and save transfer
    C) Barnes ---> Torres

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

      Play Mane and save the transfer. Reassess next week. Leeds look pretty shaky at the back.

    2. LarryDuff
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B for sure, I don't fancy Torres to start

    3. FantasyHero
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If you don't do C will you be playing barnes?
      If so get him out

  6. SADIO SANÉ
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    get on Pukki (c) - if the Arsenal players get any whiff of Conte over Arteta they will be doing all they can to make it happen!

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

      Didn't Conte stop all vacations when he was at Spurs. I believe having read that players actially hated him.

      1. LarryDuff
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        He wants to go where he can realistically win the league with the team as is or something along those lines. Thats not arsenal

  7. MASTER ROSHI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Schmeichel (Ward)
    TAA Shaw Coufal (White Livra)
    Salah Bruno Jota Barnes Raphinha
    Antonio Toney (Perica)

    Thinking of Barnes, Bruno, Toney > Traore, Torres, Ronaldo for a -4, how does it sound?

    1. Big dog
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Good

  8. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    a) Cash to Semedo (and play Semedo in GW 4 vs wat)
    b) Tsimikas to Livramento (anp play Livramento in GW 4 vs WHU)

    1. Big dog
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      a) but not with Semedo, I'd probably look at Saiss or Coady from Wolves.

  9. Irish Villan 1985
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Hey Lads, more WC thinkering

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Go for it

    2. Irish Villan 1985
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure what happened there but team is...

      Sanchez

      Trent, White, Coady, Shaw

      Son, Benhrama, Salah

      Jimenez, Antonio, Ronaldo

      Subs: Bachmann, Brownhill, Gilmor, Livramento

      Thoughts?

      1. LarryDuff
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I like it, but Benhrama could be limited soon and I wouldn't want either of those two coming in lol I like the forward thinking with Jimmy

  10. tristanabc
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Starting to settle on a fairly template WC team. Thoughts?

    Sa (Steer)
    TAA Shaw Tierney (Livra, Williams)
    Salah Jota Raph Gray (Gilmour)
    Ronny DCL Antonio

    1. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yup, same as my WC team apart from I have 4.5 GK and a 6m mid in place of Gray.

      Think I'm sticking.

  11. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Best option?

    A) Son, Jota
    B) Bruno, Trincao/Sarr

    1. stevehaigh84
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. waldo666

    Fantasy Football Scout Member3 Yearsjust now
    Played my wild card and I'm debating either:

    A: Lukaku and Greenwood or
    B: Ronaldo and 6.5 or less midfielder.

    I really like the look of Chelsea and the have some favourable fixtures on the horizon. But Ronaldo is well Ronaldo.

    Any thoughts are welcome.

    1. LarryDuff
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      What other premiums do you have?

    2. stevehaigh84
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Lukaku and Salah.

    3. stevehaigh84
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      TAA in defence.

      1. LarryDuff
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I'd much rather Ronaldo plus 6.5. Ronaldo and Salah solid captain picks.

  13. DIMITRIS

    2 years, 6 months ago

    Do you like my WC draft, and what would you change :
    Meslier (Foster)
    Rüdiger - Semedo - Tierney (Williams, Livra)
    Salah - Greenwood - Sarr - Traore (Sissoko)
    Lukaku - Ronaldo - Antonio

          I like them both. It comes down to whether you want TAA or not. I would perhaps go without him and spread the funds at the back because the team with TAA, Rom, Ron and Mo. Team A just a little bit better. Cheers!

          1. DIMITRIS
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Because the team with TAA, Rom, Ron and Mo is just too inflexible*

              Thxxx mate

    2. LarryDuff
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'd sooner Trincao than Traore. I'd sooner an unknown prospect with a chance, then a failed and never productive fpl option

      1. DIMITRIS
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        They are both good. I like Trincao also but I'm afraid of him being rotated with Podence. But he's also a good shout. I disagree that Traore is a failed FPL option just yet. We can definitely say thay if he manages to blank in spite of his nice run of fixtures.

        1. LarryDuff
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I'm taking the risk personally, could be a shrewd differential. I suppose mate I just prefer my mids to have solid goal threat

          1. DIMITRIS
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Well you might just be right. I'm still undecided about them. One thing only, whichever I choose I'll stick with him at least 5-6 GW's.

      2. SouthCoastSaint
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        The new podence/ Neto. Good stats. The odd 10 pointer. I like the punt if you have to wildcard

        1. DIMITRIS
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I think people hate too much on Wolwes. If they had a little bit of luck, it would have been a whole different story. They look good, their stats are good and it's only a matter of time until they start scoring and winning.

    3. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would downgrade Lukaku and upgrade Traore, don't like Semedo either, maybe Coady in his place.

      1. DIMITRIS
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Lukaku is there to stay 😀
        Greenwood and Antonio are the ones who will get out once they dip in form / get rotated. Cheers.

    Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Cristiano Ronaldo joining the team: "At any club, with top fowards he would still bench one. So it's impossible to bench him or sub him. He is supreme. Even the stands would make noise if he is not in the team sheet except when he is injured or suspended. Other fowards must fight for other slots to partner with him instead of wasting time trying to fight to bench him. I don't think he has ever been bench even during his academy days, he is incredible.

      I wildcarded with a slightly better team in a moment of madness last weekend, Ronaldo fever kicked in after a few too many beers

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        You sound regretful

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          😛

        2. Optimus.

          I am 😆

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

        😆 'slightly' better team ... so what's the improvement for the above team without WC then? Just ensure the hangover is over before answering 😆

      C with Torres cuz u have Antonio

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thx, Ronaldo camp aren't ya?

        1. OptimusBlack
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Sure

    This team speaks to me. Thoughts on this potential Wildcard…

    Sanchez
    Semedo TAA White
    Salah Gray Troare Torres
    Lukaku Ronaldo Antonio

    4.0 Sissoko 4.0 4.0

    1. LarryDuff
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      That midfield is a bit poo

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Midfield is weak as is the bench, don't like Semedo or Traore picks at all, understand the want for Wolves but would be looking outside of those two personally.

    3. SouthCoastSaint
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Good luck with Traore.

      Will never ever feature in my team. Zaha light

      1. LarryDuff
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        The worst of Hazard and Zaha troll levels combined

  19. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    This WC fever is 'understandable' but sounds FOMO to me ... the IB during COVID could splash the tsunami of surprise, don't you think?

    1. LarryDuff
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Why I'm saving. Also lack of available data or form. Gw 7 looks ideal

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      wc was to keep people entertained over the break

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        'Get a life' is the answer? 😆

    3. Optimus.
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Had to google fomo there

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Just learned 😛 maybe wrong usage here though ...

      2. LarryDuff
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Did you fear missing out on what it meant?

    4. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sounds like a load of old cobblers to me.

    5. SouthCoastSaint
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Mad time to play wildcard. Limited price rises. Wolves snd Leeds fixtures swaying a lot, not just (not fat Brazilian) ronaldo

  20. FantasyHero
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone watch any wolves' games? How does Marcal look?
    Or should I opt for coady/kilman

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Semedo is potentially an upgrade from Coady I think. Not sure with Marcal.

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I'd prefer Coady to Semedo, personally.

    2. SouthCoastSaint
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Semedo safest option. I would even say Saiss is the option with his attacking threat.

      Crazy unlucky not to score vs United and Watford look suspect from set plays

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Semedo looks threatening but never delivers, had him for a good portion of last season and was very disappointed.

        1. SouthCoastSaint
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I don’t like basing decisions purely on past performance. Ayling a prime example having already scored after doing nothing for the entire last season

          1. waldo666
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Fair enough, but in what I have watched of their first three he looks to be following the same pattern. Admittedly that could change with easier fixtures but I would want to see more before considering him.

    3. Don Rogers FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I thought marcal was great against united, he got forward a lot down the left. Just as much as semedo down the right I reckon.

      1. SouthCoastSaint
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        It’s weighing up the 0.4 saving and the Ait nouri threat

  21. waldo666
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bruno replacement to fund Ronaldo...

    A) Jota
    B) Torres
    C) Gray
    D) Sarr

    1. LarryDuff
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A for the time being

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jota out of those

    3. SouthCoastSaint
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A but pointless until Thursday so pour yourself a drink and enjoy the next few days without fantasy induced trauma

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        8.40am here so might wait a little until I pour that drink 😉

        1. SouthCoastSaint
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Sat in a Dorset caravan so it’s flowing here ha!

    4. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Cheers all.

  22. LarryDuff
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bachmann (Sanchez)
    TAA, Shaw, Coady (Duffy, Chambers)
    Salah, Benhrama, Trincao, Mbeumo (Barnes ugh)
    Antonio, Ronaldo (Deeney ugh)

    Any further hits required? I don't think so but interested in any feed back 🙂

    1. LarryDuff
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ah guys cmon

  23. LarryDuff
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Who is a player whose never mentioned here, who could explode soon? I'll start, Auba

    1. SouthCoastSaint
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Armstrong looked great on the eye so far

      1. LarryDuff
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Could be a popular pick when Antonio gets injured

    2. FPL Emu
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jimenez

      Tierney

      Raphinha

      1. SouthCoastSaint
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Jimmy just needs some shots on target. Superb stats for shots in the box

      2. FPL Emu
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Guess they are all mentioned on here.

      3. LarryDuff
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Ah but I've seen all three mentioned before 😉

    3. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I mean he might explode soon but probably not in the way you hope

    4. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Kane perhaps, 3 London derbys in a row

      1. LarryDuff
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Licking his lips

  24. SouthCoastSaint
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone staying strong in the no ronaldo camp?

    I’m not getting him on the basis of the annoying “CR7” posts.

    I am aware the Brazilian Ronaldo is fat and retired now. Just type Ronaldo if you must….

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      not worth wc'ing for

      1. SouthCoastSaint
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Agree. He bangs then every man and their dog can transfer him in for easy price rise or just get Lukaku for his run

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He’s definitely not worth WC for but it’s the fact Bruno is fairly useless now at 12m. Ronaldo or Lukaku much better options.

      1. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Why not Greenwood instead and upgrade elsewhere? You still have to assess Ronaldo as an asset against other potential assets, not just Bruno.

    3. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah I'm staying strong. I'm a United fan as well but definitely not going to get caught up in the over hype. I think his lack of assists last year and lack of work rate could mean he misses out on baps regularly unless he gets a brace.

    4. Jaws
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sticking with Salah & Lukaku as premiums. They rotate nicely for captaincy too.

    5. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I have Kane so could easily swap. I'd rather have Kane with Luka from GW7, though. Kane and Ronaldo isn't an option

  25. AM9
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    DCL or Jimi going forward? Jimi would give further upgrades.

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Dcl

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      DCL

    3. SouthCoastSaint
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jimmy can match him for the money saving - just about on pens too and guaranteed minutes (DCL carrying knocks)

  26. Scrumper
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Not seeing much on here about the potential mayhem at the end of this international break - potential quarantines and / or FIFA sanctions for those who didn't report for international duty. Is it just me that is quietly bracing for a sea of red flags, or am I missing something?

    1. The Son-dance Kid
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      This is why it is wise to hold off making FTs until Friday

  27. Manani
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    best mid 6.4m or below?? Already got Benrahm

    1. SouthCoastSaint
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Gray. Points and oases eye test

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sarr

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      none, get Toney

      1. have you seen cyan

        actually nvm, his fixtures turn bad

    Money spent last 5 seasons:

    Man Utd: 480m
    Man City: 472m
    Arsenal: 366m
    Chelsea: 238m
    Liverpool: 158m

    Trophies won in the last 5 seasons:

    Man City: 10

    Arsenal: 3
    Man Utd: 0

    1. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ole at the wheel, spending money to cover for his managerial deficiencies.
      Surprised Chelsea have spent so little, I guess a transfer ban helps

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Chelsea have a lot of players on loan etc

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      United attempting to buy the league again this summer. They’ll try the same again next summer. Never going to challenge though with Ole

    3. rozzo
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I take it the Europa league doesn't count as a trophy

  29. JT11fc
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone considering Saiss over Semedo?

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Anyone over Semedo.
