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.

    Is getting Lukaku instead of Ronaldo (on a FT)

    A. Trying to be too clever
    B. A legitimate shout

    Assume WC intact

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

      With WC intact you might aswell get Ronaldo for the next 3. On a WC I’d consider Lukaku though

    3. Hits Magnet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      I don;t think Utd getting Ronaldo will fix all the creativity issues they had last week .... the movement of the ball and spirit just wasn't as good as the other top teams.... I don't see Ronaldo outscoring Lukaku with the way Chelsea put balls into the 6 yard box from out wide, I'd expect him to score 30+ goals which will be a lot more than Ronaldo (and Salah)

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

        Nobody's sticking with the player for the whole season.
        Who do you think scores more in the next 3 gameweeks?

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

      If Ronaldo has ever thought us one thing about him it's that he's as fixture proof as it gets. I mean, we're talking about top goalscorer in HISTORY, who scored as he liked against prime Barca and he's also scoring as he pleases even at 36. I'm getting him in my team and keeping until the end of the season.

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

        Get them both imho.

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

          This

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

    Adama or Sarr?

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

      Toss a coin. Both are potentially good, I have Adama but I'm aware its a punt.

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

      Sarr if playing safe.

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

      Wolves easy fixture list is so long that you have the ability to wait 1 or 2 weeks to see which Wolves player is better to get in, then make the switch

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

      Sarr, easily.

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

      Sarr, on pens

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

    Trincao is tempting, but think I have to go safe with Sarr, Norwich/Newcastle in next 3 is great.

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

      He looks tasty but worry Podence could steal minutes

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

    If we had a poll to decide the top 4 in the PL this season, plus the best defense and the top goal scorer I've no doubt it would be heavily loaded with Chelsea selections but yet they don't seem to feature heavily in Teams/WC teams .......... plus if Chelsea hadn't got a player sent off last week I think they would have bet LFC at Anfield but yet Salah/TAA are essential but chelsea cover is not??

    Have Werner and Havertz's performances last year (letting everybody down) soured us to picking Chelsea players or do we just not like them?

    Surely the younger and fitter Lukaku scores more goals than Ronaldo and surely Chelsea record more clean sheets than everybody this year with Kante and 3 Centre backs, and hence surely a chelsea full back is the highest scoring defender this year???

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

      Whats ur top 4 and top scorer and assister prediction ?

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

        I think Chelsea win the league, have most clean sheets and Lukaku scores 30+ goals... a lot from wing backs crosses

        Ronaldo 20-25 goals and if Utd are still in Champs league doesn't play twice a week every week , whereas Lukaku does

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

          I agree that Chelsea are favorites for the title and will probably have the best def record, but most people are waiting till gw7 fixture swing to move for their assets, Im not sure Lukaku hits 30 in the league maybe 20-25 so still a great option and I think this week he could be the best option but over the next 3 till gw7 Ronaldo probably edges it imo, then a swap to Lukaku would be my move.

          In terms of Game time Im not sure, Tuchel is a master rotater but where does Lukaku fall in those terms is tough to say and Ole is more of a pushover I dont know how he will handle Ronaldos game time it will be to be seen, I think they will hit similar goal tallies though.

          So it I would say Chelsea assets are on people minds but waiting for the fixture swing and Ronaldo fever is causing people to overlook Lukaku. Def will be picked up as soon as the swing happens imo.

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

          30 goals in the league? That’s a tall order.

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

            Most is 25 so far.

            Hits Magnet is the exact ill-informed but loud sort of person that ruins a bit of decent chat

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

      Lukaku might be younger but he ain't fitter and he didn't manage to score more goals than Ronaldo last season.

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

        Lukaku is much fitter than Ronaldo at the moment. Ronaldo is an out and out poacher nowadays. It will depend on service. If United build their whole team around Ronaldo like Juve did then he’ll score bags. If not Lukaku will. Lukaku got more goal contributions last year too

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

          Lukaku has never been fitter than Ronaldo in his career, and I like them both. Why now?
          Ronaldo had played for Juve this season, played for Portugal.

        2. BIG TONES
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Ronaldo scoring on International duty though. Seems in decent nick?

    3. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      everyone just waiting for GW7, and then it will be James/Chilwell + Mount + Kaku in every team.

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

      For me Chelsea, City and Liverpool are by far the best 3 in the league and arguably the world. Problem is their next 3 aren’t great. Same with City. I’m looking at 1 Chelsea and 1 City now on WC and can bring in another GW7/8

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

      Do we know who Chelsea's back 4 is? Particularly once CL starts.

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

        James • Azpi • Christensen • Rudiger • Chilwell

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

          I think this will be it .... not sure how much it will rotate first half of season .... I think this will be the league starting lineup nearly every week IMO

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

        back 5 and first choice will likely be James and Chilwell at WB and Azpi Silva Rudiger at CB

        But Tuchel rotates alot so Christensen will get mins as will Alonso

        Tuchel picks his team based on opposition for the most part.

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

      I'll be keeping an eye on James once the bad fixtures pass. There is no need to get onto their defence until the fixtures clear.

      When it comes to any premium asset I would also be hesitant to pick them when the fixtures are rough. Its ok if you already have them but unless you're on a WC, I wouldn't do extensive surgery to my team to get them in, nor trigger a WC all of a sudden to do so.

    7. Bennerman
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Did you say fitter Lukaku than Ronaldo? Erm... wtf?

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

      Ronaldo and Fernades played against a poor Ireland team on Wednesday (we only drew with Azerbejan tonight) and they we're great and created very little and didn't overly trouble the backline for most of the game.
      I know on paper Ronaldo scored twice in Injury time but he just stood in the Ireland box for the whole second half and didn't run a yard .... plus the Irish lads just faded in the last 5 mins due a lack of first team football lately. It didn't really reflect how ineffective the 2 Utd players were together

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

        *were not great 🙁

      2. Bennerman
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I watched the game as well. He stood in the box, you say... doesn't matter, he scored both goals and won the game, after all that time he was the sharpest one to move ahead and win the headers.

        Was he a bit lazy and lucky for the other hundreds and hundreds of goals maybe?

        Rubbish.

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

          Portugal had over 70% of the posession (80+ in second half) and they crossed the ball into the box for 40 mins and eventually Ronaldo got a header on target .... he beat Coleman and Egan to score his goals..... this won't be what he faces in the PL with UTD .... he should have gone to City if he wanted this

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

            Ok, fine. So he scored two goals in that game, he's scored 700 or whatever it is so far, and 'Hits Magnet' knows better?

    9. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Interesting thoughts, I just want to see the options you'd consider.

      Can only really have 2 out of Ron, Salah and Lukaku- most are picking the first two.

      Why pick Mount when you can have Jota/Torres? They've got so many mids it looks like Tuchel Roulette.

      Everyone has TAA and then which Chelsea defender would you pick? Who's nailed?

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

      They'll be very popular soon. Those on wildcards not investing will want them come gw7

    11. Sanchit
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I agree!
      But we've also got to play the fixtures, right?
      Come GW7, I'd be surprised if every team here doesn't have Lukaku and James

    12. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I reckon Lukaku and Chelsea defenders will be the most important players in fpl this season

      1. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years

        Thoughts on Ziyech?

    13. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Which Chelsea full back, though? Do we know any that are nailed? Perhaps James, but nobody wants to bring in a suspended player on their wildcard

        Great advice

  7. wagner is king
    • 13 Years

    9m to spend on a starter and bench player.

    A) Christensen & Brandon Williams

    B) Eric dier and Ben white

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

      Christensen isnt nailed but will get some games and Dier is also questionable once Romero comes in so I would reassess those options once

      Also what is the rest of ur defence

      1. wagner is king
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        liv (£4m) matip (£5m) coady (4.5)

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

          with Liv already in place I would lean towrads 2 4.5s that rotate well, but once ge 7 comes around you will want chelsea def also so its a tough one Im guessing u have 3 premiums in place then u have to make sacrifices so two 4.5s would be my suggestion

    2. thepuntmaster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      A

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

      I'd pick a Wolves defender for 4.5m and play him every week and just take one of the starting 4m defenders as emergency cover

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      just get 2x4.5

  8. Miami Monkey
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez (Gunn)
    TAA White Livramento (Amartey Tsimikas)
    Salah Bruno Son Benrahma Sarr
    DCL Antonio (Obafemi)

    1 FT, 0.8 ITB

    I brought in DCL for a hit last week (due to having Watkins still), so it's kind of annoying to drop him for Ronaldo. Hold this week? Or DCL/Bruno --> Ronaldo/Anyone 7.0-8.0 gives cash ITB to fix the defense or upgrade another mid to Raphina down the line. Or switch to 343 Obafemi/Bruno --> Ronaldo/4.5mid, which then only leaves 0.3 ITB to work on the rest of the team. I feel like the current 352 gives better team balance, but I just don't wanna transfer out DCL so soon. Thoughts?

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

    What’s the story with DCL. Will he play?

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

      Think so this GW but worry is he might need a few weeks at some point

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

    So this is where I’m ending up with the wildcard at the minute:

    Sanchez - Steele
    TAA - Coleman - ? - Livra - Williams
    Salah - Jota - ? - ? - Sissoko
    CR7 - Antonio - ?

    Who to complete…
    A) R James - Gray - Torres - Bamford
    B) Semedo - Sarr - Torres - Bamford

      I like B better because of the balance. A isn't a bad squad but starting Livramento and Gray would make me nervous.

  12. BIG TONES
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    For -4?

    Ings, Mahrez, Buendia* > Ronaldo, Ferran, Sarr

    Note, I could just do the first two transfers for free, but might as well bin Buendia as he's a non starter for the foreseeable.

    1. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Would consider this yeah. The chance you recoup the hit seems good. Right lol?

      1. BIG TONES
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I'm thinking I will recoup the hit as Buendia is more or less a -2 given he won't be playing. Only thinking point is Ferran isn't nailed for City, but they haven't purchased a striker so...

        1. Gunneryank
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I'm taking a chance on Torres too. I'm gonna keep expectations low, and not kneejerk him out. When City bully the weaker teams, he might do something similar to what he did to the Arse.

          Problem is 2 terrible fixtures in the next 4, so i might take the long view with him.

          1. BIG TONES
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Think I'll punt on Torres for Leicester and Soton and assess after that. Really good value at 7.1

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

      Also it would depend if you can field a squad you like without the hit for the GW.

      1. BIG TONES
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I could field a team without the hit, but backing Sarr to do well with the good fixtures. Also on pens (I think) with Deeney gone.

        1. Gunneryank
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Oh THAT'S why people like Sarr so much on here. I haven't watched them play much. How does he look in open play?

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

      I think could well pay off so yes

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

    Is carrying free transfer and playing this team the sensible play here and ignore Ronaldo for now - what moves would you be thinking?

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Coufal
    Salah Bruno Greenwood Raphinha Benrahma
    Ings Antonio

    Foster Ayling Tsimikas Scarlett

    1. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Depends what your moves would be to Ronaldo?

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

        Ings to Ronaldo and Bruno to Torres-4 ( Jota probably want if Firmino out a while but means -8 to move out Tsimikas)

        1. BIG TONES
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I probably would for the long term as Ronaldo is going to take pens, of which United tend to get a lot of. Just be prepared for Bruno to potentially burn you in the first week, he can just as easily score well in the Newcastle game from open play.

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

      Solid squad, except you don't want Ings surely? Villa's fixtures turn very poor, starting with this week's worse case scenario: Chelsea away.

    Will you wildcard if you got two FT?

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

      I think the wildcard decision should be made independently of the FT situation.

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

      It's all dependent on what you want. With no context we can't answer this. I am mostly likely going to WC because i am not set up for the future and i have 7 moves that vastly improve how much i like my team and chances. How many FTs i have becomes irrelevant.

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        That is because if i am using two Ft i can actually just do ings to ronaldo and bruno to torres

        Or ings to luk and bruno to greenwood.

        But see below my wildcard team.

  16. Letsgo!

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Looks pretty good- rather
      DCL ( if fit) and Coufal over Jiménez and Cresswell

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I will prefer cresswell though still.

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Fair enough- just not convinced Jiménez got confidence back after horrific head injury

          1. Letsgo!
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            True on this though. Still thinking if i should! A huge differential though but whether i should do it this week .

            If i am not using wildcard

            This is my team. Isit okay?

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

      Nice! See, context 🙂

      I like it generally speaking, but I'm not in for Arsenal defenders myself, and I'm not a huge fan of relying on West Ham and Everton defensive assets. No 'Big 6' defenders in other words.

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years

      what is your current team?

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years

        Current team
        Sanchez
        White taa shaw
        Salah son bruno esr townsend
        Antonio ings

        Subs: foster livra veltman oba

        So if using 2ft will be
        Ings to luk bruno to greenwood

        The thing is i dont know if townsend will start if nt will need to start veltman then

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I think I would take a -4

          Ings, Bruno, Oba to Ron, DCL & Allan

          1. Letsgo!
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Not enough funds to do that.
            Anw i can minus 4 . With my above 2ft and also maybe townsend to traore?

            1. Hotdogs for Tea
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              i think you need to get rid of Oba and bring in a nailed starter that you can afford - Bam, Jim, Richa, Toney, Wilson etc

              1. Letsgo!
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                Yeah but it will mean i need to use wildcard actually which i thinking nt to do it this week first

  17. Gunneryank
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Question for the esteemed Scout hivemind: How much bearing does the ICT index on the game site have on player evaluation, in your mind?

    They make it sound comprehensive, but i suspect it's a generally good, broad gauge of how a player compares with his peers, and not much more.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sort by ICT and you see most of the highest point scorers. Traore could have plenty of points if he could score.

      1. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Oooooh i see. Haven't done that before. Explains a lot actually. Like the love affair with Traoré and Sarr.

        Do we know any other context on how that number that is generated?

        Cheers and thanks.

        1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          It's a very complex system that covers about 40 different game events so it's not really something that is easy to understand fully - but as a basic rule I would ignore influence as it ties in too closely with simply previous points. Creativity = assists and threat = shots and therefore potentially goals is the extremely simple breakdown. Again we see Jiminez as top for creativity among strikers which reflects what we're seeing with Wolves as a narrow 3 up top where Trincao and Traore play off him and end up getting the shots - so Traore has sky high Threat. So we can expect the most likely combination of points when they arrive to be Jiminez (A) Traore (G) based on ICT.

      2. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        This. Anybody who has high ICT but few points (Traore/Jiminez) is unlucky/wasteful/due. Anybody with high points but low ICT (Ings) is lucky/clinical/unlikely to sustain. I plan to bring in Jimi for Ings this week based on ICT rank and my belief that the points will come now Wolves fixtures soften.

        1. Gunneryank
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah and what we see on the pitch seems to bear this out. How they haven't scored a goal is madness.

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I just look at threat.

  18. MGMT
    • 11 Years

    B Any 4.5M Def + Raphinha/Traore

    Currently thinking Rico Henry and White

  19. Hotdogs for Tea

    so the likes of Gray, Traore & Sarr are now the popular choices for midfield starting spots in many squads … mmm …

    GW7 seems the best time for WC. When is the second International break?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I don't see much difference using it now or then, leeds wolves and chelsea with the fixture swings, chelsea assets are quite easily attainable, as are leeds and wolves.

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

        I will offload some pool and united asset on WC 7 and jump on Chelsea assets. Plus by that time things would be clear regarding cheaper options.

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

        Will get Jota and Ronaldo till then.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I see your point but Pool assets are the type you keep all season no? The cheaper options for me have already emerged and only rising in price, i dunno who else there could be to rer their heads apart from Sarr perhaps, and leaving Jota/Ronaldo until GW 7 is costly imo, especially if Firmino is out.

  22. Salah’s Sonnet

    Quick question folks, does it look like Tanganga is nailed in that Spurs side? Got 4.5 spare for adefender, just messing about with a WC draft.

            There's something about Punk that transcends the middle class art school twoddle that fiddled with the working class frustrations that really caught me up. tbh.

              I love this same attitude but from a metal application. Grew up on the golden age of metal in the 80's/90's. We don't forget our punk roots (among other roots). Metal til i die.

        Nice one, sounds great

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

    So last time before I’m priced out of this decision- should I WC from this:

    Sanchez
    TAA - Shaw - Amartey*
    Salah - Torres - Raphinha - Benrahma
    Ronaldo - DCL - Antonio

    (Steele - Tsimikas* - Brownhil - Omobamidele*) - 1.8 ITB (on a -4)

    to this:

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

    (Foster - Duffy - Bissouma - Williams)

    Yay or nay? Cheers!

      I wouldn’t. The squads are much of a muchness.

      1. Ibralicious
        • 9 Years

        Thanks!

    2. The FPL Units

      I'd roll and reassess in a few weeks.

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

        Would be the logical choice… cheers!

      Nah

    4. Gunneryank

      No way. Good team.

        Thanks

    5. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Allan/Sissoko instead of Gray

      Upgrade Williams & Duffy to nailed 4.5s such as White, Coady, Ayling etc

  25. C0YS
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Wildcard or no? May about to get priced out if I don't pull the trigger now.

    Ings / Benrahma / Shaw / Coufal / Tsimikas ---> Ronaldo / Torres / Tanganga / Ayling / Williams

    Current team:
    Sanchez
    TAA / Shaw / Coufal / Tsimikas / Livramento
    Salah / Greenwood / Son / Benrahma / Gray
    Ings / Antonio / 4.5

    Potential team:
    Sanchez
    TAA / Tanganga / Ayling / Williams / Livramento
    Salah / Greenwood / Son / Torres / Gray
    Ronaldo / Antonio / 4.5

    1. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't. First team is fine. Can you just use FTs for Ron?

      1. C0YS
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. Can do it with a -4, it's the Torres & Tanganga transfers I wouldn't be able to do if they were to rise and if Tsimikas were to fall.

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

          Tanganga has probably lost his spot to the new signing.

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

      I like it - similar to where I am and you're making me wonder about going Son instead of DCL now.

      Tanganga problematic though, I thought I was clever getting in early on him but then Spurs bought Emerson and he seems too risky. Look at Wolves 4.5s instead?

      1. C0YS
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. Gotta say there seems to be a lot of value in the mid players (as there usually is).

        Re. Tanganga, he seems nailed for next week at least, I reckon a clean sheet is highly likely. Have enough depth to reassess if need be.

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      i think i prefer Benrahma / Shaw / Coufal over Torres / Tanganga / Ayling

      Because you don’t have Bruno as a cash cow you probably should WC if you want Ronaldo and sort it all out at the same time

  26. Ragabolly

  27. Sanchit

    RMWCT

    A bit different, spending high on defence.

    Sanchez (Steele)
    TAA Robbo Shaw Digne (Williams)
    Salah Raphinha Benrahama (4.5 4.5)
    Ronaldo DCL Antonio

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      great team

      Would probably swap Robbo for a Chelsea defender and bring in Jota for Benrahma

      1. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        As we approach GW7, absolutely agree, if it's affordable.

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

        Will probably swap Robbo for Jota depending on Firmino news

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good. I'd be politely asking to see Digne's ticket, and when he fails to show it kick him off the team bus and upgrade a 4.5m mid.

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

        He's the one I'm the most unsure about, but prefer him as a regular starter, then let's say a Gray?
        No one else in below 6m really

    3. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Anything with two attacking bench fodders looks far from optimum imo. James and Chilwell much better than digne and shaw

      1. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        In theory i agree, but we don't know how Chilwell's minutes will play out. And i am a huge fan of him.

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I'd put James in now and add Chilwell when he's fully fit. Should be soon.

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

        Just not sure with Spurs and city in the next 3.
        Will definitely have them from GW7

    Football musings on a Saturday evening in 'Merica.

    1.) Jota scored in 2 out of 3 matches regardless of whether or not Bobby was around. Does Klopp keep starting him in even say, 3 out of 4 games? Everyone needs rest of course but how is Jota NOT in the long term attacking plans? Dude is class.

    2.) I could just be wrong but i am, to borrow from the English, gobsmacked seeing so many Arsenal defenders in so many WC teams. Please explain. Have you people actually watched Arsenal play?

    3.) Sarr. How does he look to the eye test? Haven't seen much Watford (too busy watching the Gunners get smoked).

    4.) I think we might see a slow reduction in Kane and Son's FPL numbers if Nuno stays on, and is a generally successful manager. Spurs don't seem to be a side that is going to attack with abandon.

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jota is first choice striker for now surely

      Sarr looks great

      Agree on spuds

          1. Gunneryank
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Not sure that's a word. Dire is one, however.

            1. The Knights Template
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Tis a fine word. A knightly and polite way of saying sh$t. The root word is as The Sheep Hunter points out below.

                • 2 Years

                Re. The Spuds observation: despite Mourinho being a defensive coach, Kane and Son still racked up the points. I don't see Nuno interfering with that - it's more about whether Kane gets his mojo back after his shenanigans.

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      1 Opportunity Cost? A rotated Jota with midweek CL games or another option like a nailed Raphinha ? I will probably bring in Jota though 🙂
      2 Arsenal have been rubbish because half their team has been out with Covid. With a full team then a 4.5 defender rotating for that 3rd starting position with, say, Coady & Ayling makes a lot of sense.
      3 Haven’t watched Sarr this season either but 6.0 looks a bit pricey. Prefer Dan James at 6 mill or Rapha or Bena for .5 more … or even dropping down to 4.5 with Allan or Sissoko
      4 Not sure Nuno is as defensive as people make out (don’t recall that accusation when he was at Wolves) and he is feeling his way with a new squad. I expect to see Spurs push on and knock over a few teams

    Thoughts on how regularly Christensen will start? it's him and Williams or play it safer with Coady & Ayling.

    Rest of Defence TAA, Regulion and Livramento. No spare change!

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Probably good for 3/4 starts this season. Big season for him. James and Chilwell are so much better though comparatively.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      play it safe & rotate

    3. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would feel safer with James after he comes back, as far as Chelsea defense is concerned. Your defense looks fine. Coady and Aying are good choices imo.

    4. Little Frank
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'm in a similar predicament, good thing about having Williams and Livramento is that they rotate very well for the next few games so even if Christensen misses out you have a decent backup in place.
