GOALKEEPER STRATEGY

The best goalkeepers for UEFA Champions League Fantasy

With a squad of 15 players and substitutions possible between days within a Matchday, having two playing goalkeepers is a great way to maximise the points you get.

Make sure that you get a goalkeeper from both sides of the group stage – one who plays Tuesday 14th and one who plays Wednesday 15th – so you know that you’ll always have an option on both days. 

Alongside this, premium goalkeepers are very rarely worth their price tags when you look at the budget options available.

A goalkeeper combination worth between 8.5m – 9.5m is the best use of value at this position.

Most of the options discussed in this article are worth 5m or below, and with the Limitless and Wildcard chips available, plus two transfers between Matchdays, only the first two fixtures for each keeper will be considered. 

THE GOALKEEPERS

As almost all of my goalkeeper options would be considered ‘budget’, I’ve divided them by sides of the draw, rather than by price.

This should help to decide on one keeper from each of the days.

Group E-H kick off the tournament proper on Tuesday 14th, because why not do it the wrong way round, hey UEFA?

GROUP E-H OPTIONS

Juan Musso (4.5m) – Atalanta

Musso has come into Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta side and immediately claimed the number one jersey after a stellar season with Udinese. Opening games against Villarreal and Young Boys are incredibly kind for the Bergamo side, who have proven that they can compete with Europe’s best over the last two seasons. With a 73.6% save percentage in the last year per FBref, Musso should be a strong contender for both save and clean sheet points over the first two Matchdays.

Odysseas Vlachodimos (4.5m) – Benfica

Benfica are much stronger defensively than they are going forward, and Vlachodimos is a great keeper. With a near 77% save rate last season and an opening game against Dynamo Kyiv, the Greek stopper could be a great differential pick at the back. His second game is against a Barcelona side in disarray, which could be a great opportunity to pick up both save points and potentially a surprise clean sheet. 

Yassine Bounou (5.0m) – Sevilla

Bounou was one of the best keepers in last season’s competition and has been gifted a very soft group this time round. Sevilla should be too much for RB Salzburg and Wolfsburg after a great transfer window and they’ve already picked up two clean sheets from three games in La Liga. Although he’s 0.5m more than the previous two picks, he’s part of the strongest side so far and plays two sides under new management and without much European pedigree.  

Edouard Mendy (6.0m) – Chelsea

The only premium player on this list was the highest scoring goalkeeper in the game last season and is part of what is probably Europe’s strongest defence. Opening games against Zenit and a poor Juventus side should be a great opportunity for clean sheets and the Senegalese stopper is also usually good for save points. The downsides with Mendy are his price and the value Chelsea have in defence in this season’s game, although doubling, or even tripling, up on their defence would be no bad thing. 

GROUP A-D OPTIONS

Gregor Kobel (4.5m) – Borussia Dortmund

As you’re about to notice, three of the goalkeepers discussed are part of the same group. They’re all on this list by virtue of being great value and having an easy group by UCL standards. Up first is new Dortmund stopper Kobel. Although Dortmund have looked less than convincing at the back so far, they open their campaign against Besiktas and Sporting Lisbon, and traditionally step their game up on the European stage. They also have first choice defenders like Mats Hummels (5.0m) and Raphael Guerreiro (6.0m) who have only just returned to the squad. For his price, Kobel looks like a great option.

Maarten Stekelenburg (4.5m) – Ajax

With Andre Onana (£4.5m) suspended until early November, Stekelenburg is first choice at Ajax, as he was for the Netherlands at EURO 2020. In the opposite order to Dortmund, Ajax start off their campaign against Sporting Lisbon and Besiktas, but they haven’t had the strongest start to the season, including a 4-0 loss to Feyenoord and a 1-1 draw with Twente. Of the two 4.5m options in Group C, Kobel looks to have the edge over Stekelenburg.

Ersin Destanoglu (4.0m) – Besiktas

Destanoglu gets in as the only starting 4.0m keeper in the game. He opens his campaign against Dortmund and Ajax, but Besiktas could spring a surprise and haven’t conceded a goal in their four Super Lig games so far. He’s the sort of player you bring in because you need him rather than you want him, but he could be a great enabler for that player you want outfield who’s 0.5m out of reach.

Andriy Pyatov (4.5m) – Shakhtar Donetsk

Veteran Ukrainian Pyatov has the kindest opening fixture of any side in this season’s UCL. Moldovan side Sheriff are comparative minnows and Shakhtar were very solid in last season’s competition. Shakhtar’s second game is against Inter Milan, a side they faced in last seaon’s group stage too. Both their group games finished 0-0 last season, and if you fancy that to happen again, then Pyatov may be the best goalkeeper pick of the bunch from Groups A-D.

    viva ronny!

      No.

      Yeah boy!

    So this morning Ronaldo might not start due to quarantine at his home and only one day’s training? Now he’s training and the story is he might not start because the retuning international players will only have one days training with him???

    Bonkers, if he’s fit he will surely start.

    1. FOMFF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Bound to

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Honestly all this pointless speculation- news articles to fill a void!

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      How much training is there to do? Newcastle drop deep, surrender possession and try to hit on the counter. As far as supplying Ronaldo, it's a case of telling Shaw to whip the crosses in. Everything else should take care of itself, given that the statue that is Martial started upfront the last match.

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

      I mean, if people believe The Sun then they deserve what they get.

  3. Amartey Partey
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sancho is back in training with United today too.

  4. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Will FIFA ban those that weren’t released?!

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Could make for some interesting WC picks and also ramifications for the next international break. Does Christensen become more nailed? What about Man City's 2nd keeper?

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Personally don't think they should ban them.

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

      Reading the link it appears some countries have already complained and players are banned

      https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/58470358

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Could be banned. Would be a farce if Almiron banned, but Fred and Cavani not at the weekend.

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

          Agreed would not be fair at all

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

      Wait, so Jimenez is banned?

      1. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yes it sounds like it

    4. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I see Firmino is listed here. Did he even travel?

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        No, that's the point. National FA's are complaining that players weren't released and didn't travel for international matches. If there were bans, then perhaps Firmino might be excused as he was injured. There was some talk that Everton had agreed Richarlison's absence given he was released for the Olympics.

        All guesswork until FIFA make a decision.

        1. Amartey Partey
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Ohh I see. What a mess!

  5. Amartey Partey
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Here is my guess for United starting lineup to face Newcastle...

    De Gea
    AWB, Maguire, Varane, Shaw
    Fred, Pogba
    Greenwood, Bruno, Sancho
    Cavani

    Ronaldo to come on in the 60th minute for Cavani.

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Oh dear

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Might get a consolation goal after ASM and J7 rip through that Man Utd midfield and defence.

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

        who is J7?

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Mighty Joelinton

    3. Geordie19
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Defo think Ronaldo starts personally. But would love it if he didn’t obv supporting Newcastle

      1. Drexl Spivey
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I don't care if he does. One focal point to take care of.

        1. Geordie19
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah but we can’t defend regardless of who the focal point is

          1. Hairy Potter
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Sancho and Shaw vs Murphy and Ritchie having to track Greenwood are worries enough without thinking about Ronaldo or Bruno.

          2. Drexl Spivey
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Ssh! Keep it quiet.

    4. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Guessing you can't get Ronaldo in this GW?

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I can, but prefer getting him in next week when he is certain to start.

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

          Think it's a waste getting him then. If you miss NEW for Ronaldo, I'd be focusing on Lukaku for GW7 on.

          Seems you're onto a winner though!

          1. Amartey Partey
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Seems a risk selling Bruno against Newcastle when he's guaranteed to start, while we really don't know if Ronaldo will yet. The last time Bruno played at Old Trafford he scored a hattrick. I agree about Lukaku though. It will be difficult not bringing him in from GW7 with those fixtures.

    5. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Has Ronaldo ever come on as a sub in the last 10 years?

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I have no idea. I doubt he will be used as a sub very often for United though.

      2. Boly Would
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        About 3 weeks ago

  6. Geordie19
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Feels a bit of a big move but think it could pay off.
    Do you think Wilson, Ings and Bruno to Ronaldo, DCL and Jota for a -8 is worth it? It’s more long term but big hit…

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

      Seems like a fun and ambitious move. I say go for it!

      1. Geordie19
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Losing Bruno ok you think? Thanks a lot

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

          I don’t know if it’s “ok” but I totally understand why people want to.

          I have 2ft and don’t plan to move from Bruno to Ron - but as the Int Break goes on I’m warming to the idea a little.

          Most likely just do Ings to DCL. Already have Jota.

          1. Geordie19
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Very jealous. GL

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

              You too! Thanks.

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would definitely sell Wilson now that he's injured.

        He'll be jabbed.

        IF Firmino is back that quick he'll be brought back up to speed in the Carabao Cup between GW5&6.

        Nothing factual to support this statement. Ban

  10. Flair

    Stupid sexy Tsimikas blocking Jota. Can't be too angry with 3 returns in 2 games from a 4M defender.

    1. Bruno Commando
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Same here! Now I'm left with deciding between Torres, Traore, Sarr and Gray for the last mid-priced MF..

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

        Getting Greenwood myself. Think he has life in him for the next four.

        1. Bruno Commando
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I already have him, Benrahma and Raphinha.

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

      If you look at it that way -4 not so bad if Firmino out for few weeks. Still gave you 13 point return. I may take hit for a nailed Jota for a few weeks

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

      Feeling smug having done Tsim > Livramento as my FT last week to bank the 0.1m.

  11. Bruno Commando
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Torres minutes to be affected by the returning KDB and Foden? Leaning towards Bruno and Ings out for CR7 and Torres. But Pep roulette is making me second think. Or should I go with Gray/Traore/Sarr? Already have Raphinha, Greenwood, Benrahma..

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

      Probably, looking at your team Greenwood is also a risk how many risks are you happy with? For me im fine with one and I’m deciding between Torres and Greenwood.

      1. Bruno Commando
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Good point. I think having 2 risks is a little too much. Will likely go with Gray over Traore/Sarr! Don't think there's any right or wrong at the moment!

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Add to that CL - I’d definitely expect rotation

        Gray it is for me!

    Was Chilwell carrying an injury at the start of the season or just given an extended break?

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

      Ha this! I think he should be first choice from now on though

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

      Extended break and getting up to speed on fitness

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

      Was with England all the way through the Euro's, hasn't played a competitive game since May.

      With two games coming now every week, he'll be back involved.

  13. WVA
    • 7 Years

    What do you think of this team please people?

    Schmeichel
    TAA Chilwell Shaw Reguilon
    Salah Raphina Sarr
    Ronaldo DCL Antonio
    4.0 Murphy White Allan

    1. Our Tiny Windows
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Chilwell hasn’t played a game yet

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

    Which one of these?
    A) DCL + Raph
    B) Bamford + Torres
    C) Jiminez + Jota

    Leaning towards C atm

    1. Bruno Commando
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Close fight between A and C for me

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

      A provided DCL and Raphinha both cleared to play

  15. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Lots of minutes in Bruno's legs during the IB! Easy Prem home game followed by an away UCL game on Tuesday...

    Might he be rested vs Newcastle? That's if he doesn't have to isolate of course.

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Having spent all last season flogging him, I would be surprised if Solskjaer suddenly becomes overly concerned about minutes in Bruno's legs.

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

        He's been backed to the hilt to have people in place to help carry the Bruno load for this season though.

    2. BobbyV
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Lingard to start...

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

      No he is not going to miss Ronaldo’s debut

    4. AC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Nw that would be funny if Agent Bruno is benched and Ronaldo played.

      They will both play Saturday it will be an opening show all the players want to be a part of!

  16. Kno
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Would you prefer Traore or Gray as a small punt for the coming 3-4 fixtures?

    Both got a sea of greens for the next few games

    1. Boly Would
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Traore

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

      It's between Sarr Traore and Gray

  17. Arteta

    Son injured or avoiding quarantine?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Guess we can’t say with any certainty as of right now. Some will say he’s injured and make the argument he lives playing for his country so wouldn’t deliberately avoid playing, whilst others will say avoiding quarantine. Hoping it’s the latter myself

    Anybody not getting CR7?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I want to, and can afford to but am waiting until the last minute to make my final decision

    2. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Me.

    3. Eat my goal!

      Currently 83% of managers

    4. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo

      • 3 Years

      I will get him but must be the only one doing so reluctantly.
      Wanted Jimenez but that might be a busted flush now.
      Will captain Salah if I do get him.

    5. Khark
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'm on WC and its a straight choice between him and salah for me.

      The fact I'll be captaining Lukaku from game weeks 7-12 unless he's injured means I'm picking one of Salah and Ronaldo to captain for the next 3, and honestly, despite maybe game week 5 I fancy Ronaldo.

      Get Salah back in at some point obviously. Just think its impossible to have all 3 without destroying your team, and were gonna have to jump on and off all season. Can get Salah back at a -4 or for free with rolled transfers.

      not yet!

    7. OptimusBlack

      Sure

  21. Game of Throw_ins
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Start White (NOR) or Duffy (bre) next GW?

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Duffy

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

      Really a question?

      1. Game of Throw_ins
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yes, I guess 😛 Got 2 replies and its 50-50 as of now!

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

          Ben White. If you can’t play him against Norwich, when will you?

          1. Game of Throw_ins
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah, had started with Tierney on WC hoping for a turnaround. Then downgraded to White so not much £ is tied with Arsenal. But then Duffy attacking stats on set-pieces affecting decision making. Ughh.. Maybe I should further downgrade White to Livra and save few more bucks 😛

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

      White

    4. 2001: A Space Origi
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Duffy, for his attacking presence on set pieces, especially corners.

      1. 2001: A Space Origi
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        PS - I am steering clear of Arsenal for the foreseeable future...My best mate supports them, and he is giving up hope of achieving much this season...

        1. Game of Throw_ins
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Thanks. Sounds sensible but as I am on WC so thinking was that Arsenal players can be the ultimate differentials coming few GWs (either way +ve or -ve)!

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

      White surely.

      1. Game of Throw_ins
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers.. Good to see "surely" being assosciated with Arsenal in +ve way. Duffy's attacking stats spinning my yead though.

    6. Bobby Digital

      White

    Jiminez banned this week? Can anyone confirm or deny this?

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

      There's a list of players that are potentially banned. Clubs have pushed for a decision to be made asap. Nothing confirmed yet.

      After the debacle between brazil and Argentina i honestly cant see FIFA giving any action.

      Still up in the air

      1. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]
        • 5 Years

        That article implied Jiminez was already banned .... the main content was whether the Brazilians would be banned too.

        1. Threat Level Midnight
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          This article was my reason for asking actually. It states exactly this.

  23. RCT46

    2 years, 6 months ago

    With nearly 700k managers transferring out Fernandes, does he become a differential captain this week?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Still highly likely to have a EO over 100%

  24. 2001: A Space Origi
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    LOL
    He still has 48% ownership....he is not going to become a bad player overnight!

    1. RCT46
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Of course not. But still overlooked..

  25. have you seen cyan

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

    3. have you seen cyan

  26. DavvaMC

    I was thinking of getting rid of Son in GW5.

    Would this GW be the move to replace Son with Jota?

    Thanks

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years

      Depends on the injury situatin.

  27. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years

    Teemu Pukki baby!

  28. FPL Pillars

    WC team.

    Just need to fill in the blanks

    Guaita
    TAA Shaw ____
    Salah Jota Torres ____
    DCL Ronaldo Antonio

    4.0 / 4.5 Liv Williams

    A) Semado & Benny
    B) Tierney & Benny
    C) Dier & Raph
    D) James & Gray
    E) James & ESR
    F) Other

    Cheers

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

      F Semado Gray

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

      Dier and Raph, assuming Raph is good to play. Great team with that

    3. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      With jota and Torres in the team the final slots need to be nailed

      F

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

        I figure Jota either starts or subs on in every game, Torres could have an ocassional entire benching though

    UCL Comments

    Any Mods around?

    Any chance of a hot topic on the subject matter? Otherwise all gets lost in the general comments and some of us appreciate the work that's been put in by FF Frog and who also enjoy the game. Thank you.

    And thank you FFFrog for putting this article together, it's most helpful and most welcome.

      Agree! Will be my first UCL fantasy season so appreciate the information and discussion!

            I have a brilliant squad lined up for MD 1, I may well win the whole competition - gee, if only there was a forum where you could share that possibility! Now wouldn't that be truly wonderful.

      Because it's still a week or so to go before the deadline, what I'll do instead is put together a very short stub community article for UCL fantasy tonight and stick that up

      Would be able to limit conversation to UCL only then and might be a bit neater given the time we have left to go

      Not playing myself so it certainly wouldn't be anything in-depth, more than happy for other people to takeover if they wish! Would that be ok with everyone?

        Thank you, that's all we ask for, you are most kind. And thank you for replying so quickly, also most appreciated.
