BEST UCL FANTASY MIDFIELDER STRATEGY

Spot the Differential – Gameweek 2

Midfielders score points similarly in UEFA Champions League Fantasy to Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

The main differences are that midfielders get a point for every three balls recovered and three points if they’re awarded ‘Player of the Match’ by UEFA’s committee.

The balls recovered points can make cheap defensive midfield players good options in the game, as I’ll discuss later on.

The ‘Player of the Match’ points are a new addition to the game, but could benefit players like Kevin De Bruyne (11.0m) and Mohamed Salah (10.5m), who tend to regularly star as their teams’ best performers.

As midfielders get an extra point for goals scored than forwards and can get one clean sheet point, they can also make great captaincy options in a game where a few points here and there can make a huge difference.

BEST UCL MIDFIELDERS

There might be a few surprise admissions from this list, but I’ve tried to stop it from getting too long.

Any players who’re currently injured, like Sporting Lisbon’s Pedro Goncalves (8.0m) and Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale (8.5m) and Eden Hazard (9.5m), aren’t included.

With Leipzig and PSG in their first two games and Pep roulette on the horizon, I’ve left out most of the Manchester City wing picks like Raheem Sterling (10.0m) and Riyad Mahrez (9.0m) – with those fixtures, they’re just not worth the risk.

Options like Joaqiun Correa (7.0m), Leroy Sane (9.0m) and Alejandro Gomez (8.0m) are out on account of not being nailed.

BEST PREMIUM MIDFIELDERS FOR UCL

Who are the best FPL captain options for Gameweek 2? 7

Kevin De Bruyne (11.0m) – Manchester City

When he’s fit, he’s one of the best creative players in the world and one of the only nailed players in Pep Guardiola’s City side. He’s back fit and could start against Leipzig, but it’ll be interesting to see how he works alongside Jack Grealish (8.0m) in midfield. With the fixtures City have, De Bruyne may not be worth the premium price as the most expensive player in the game.

Mohamed Salah (10.5m) – Liverpool

Salah was the second-highest scoring midfielder in last season’s competition and every FPL player knows what an incredible fantasy asset he is. Opening games against AC Milan and Porto give Salah a good opportunity to score points and the Egyptian has had a strong start to the Premier League season too. 

Bruno Fernandes (10.5m) – Manchester United

As his goal against Newcastle United on Saturday proved, Fernandes is still a good Fantasy asset, even with Cristiano Ronaldo (11.0m) likely now on penalties. United start their campaign against Young Boys and Villarreal, which should give Fernandes opportunities to continue his incredible start to the season. United have struggled in Europe under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but with one of the kindest opening fixtures, Fernandes will have a great chance to start this campaign strong.  

Serge Gnabry (10m) – Bayern Munich

After Julian Nagelsmann seemed to confirm that Kingsley Coman (8.5m) will start against Barcelona, Serge Gnabry (10.0m) looks set to start on the right-wing. A visit to a Barcelona side in disarray and hosting Dynamo Kyiv is a good start to the campaign for Bayern and Gnabry, who already has two Bundesliga goals this season, is an explosive player and a great option.

BEST MID-PRICE MIDFIELDERS FOR UCL

 1

Paul Pogba (8.5m) – Manchester United

Picking up his seventh Premier League assist at the weekend shows that Paul Pogba (8.5m) has become a top-quality Fantasy asset. United have solid opening fixtures and Pogba’s form makes him a great option in Ole’s very high-scoring side. 

Kingsley Coman (8.5m) – Bayern Munich

Set to make his first start of the season against Barcelona in Matchday 1, Kingsley Coman was one of the best players in last season’s group stages for Bayern and can build on that in a relatively easy group.

Hakan Calhanoglu (8.5m) – Inter Milan

The Turkish maestro has a goal and an assist in his first two Serie A starts since making the switch across Milan. Although Inter’s first two games against Real and Shakhtar aren’t the easiest, the set-piece specialist has plenty of avenues to score points and has already proven himself as a crucial part of the Inter attack. 

Marco Reus (8.0m) – Borussia Dortmund

The Dortmund captain has had a new lease of life under Marco Rose, playing as either a number 10 or alongside Erling Haaland (11.0m) up front. He got a goal and an assist in the first game of the Bundesliga season and has looked sharp since. 8.0m seems like a great price for a key piece of one of the best attacking sides in the competition who have one of the easiest schedules.

Lucas Ocampos (8.0m) – Sevilla

A solid pick in a strong Sevilla side, Lucas Ocampos (8.0m) often takes penalties and is now back fit. His opening games against Salzburg and Wolfsburg should give him plenty of opportunities to score points in this Sevilla side, but Youssef En-Nesyri (8.5m) is probably the best option in this team, especially with players like Eric Lamela (6.0m) on the bench.  

Leon Goretzka (7.5m) – Bayern Munich

Leon Goretzka (7.5m) has been putting up great attacking numbers under Julian Nagelsmann, although he’s yet to score for Bayern this season. A great goalscorer on his day, Barcelona and Kyiv are kind fixtures for Bayern to start their campaign with and Goretzka could be a great differential at a good price.

Christopher Nkunku (7.5m) – RB Leipzig

Christopher Nkunku (7.5m) is involved in everything RBL do going forward, but with Dani Olmo (7.5m) back he may have competition for his spot in the starting XI. As a result, an opening day game against Manchester City means that the Frenchman is unlikely to make it into your line-up from the get-go. 

Ferran Torres (7.5m) – Manchester City

Will he start? Your guess is as good as mine. However, if he does, there’s no doubt that Pep’s new false nine is a great option. Despite City’s tough fixtures, if Ferran Torres (7.5m) looks like starting, then there aren’t many better options at this price point. I know I said I was avoiding not-nailed players, but Ferran might just be worth the risk.

Jude Bellingham (7.0m) – Borussia Dortmund

The English starlet keeps on improving at Dortmund and has started to add more and more attacking contributions to his game. He’s got a goal and an assist so far this Bundesliga season and had a goal disallowed yesterday against Bayer Leverkusen.

Casemiro (6.5m) – Real Madrid

The Real Madrid holding midfielder is a balls recovered machine who pops up with occasional goals. He managed 86 balls recovered last season in the UCL, the highest of all midfielders, giving him 25 points in just nine games. Although he’s slightly pricy, he’s a very safe option in midfield.

BEST BUDGET MIDFIELDERS FOR UCL

Penalty-taking Jorginho a mainstay of Tuchel's Chelsea as rotation bites elsewhere 1

Brahim Diaz (6.0m) – AC Milan

A great, cheap pick, but unfortunately Brahim Diaz (6.0m) has difficult fixtures to start off his UCL campaign. AC Milan’s attacking midfielder has had a great start to the season, registering a goal and an assist in his first two Serie A games.

Jorginho (6.0m) – Chelsea

Another balls recovered machine, the Italian midfielder picked up 80 last season and is also on penalties for Chelsea (unless Romelu Lukaku (10.5m) takes over). A solid, safe pick who will likely average at least five points a game.

Manor Solomon (6.0m) – Shakhtar Donetsk

Shakhtar have the best opening fixture in the competition and Manor Solomon (6.0m) is probably the best option in their midfield at a budget price. Shakhtar always make a good showing in the UCL and this season should be no different. 

Franck Kessie (5.5m) – AC Milan

As with Diaz, it’s a shame that AC Milan’s fixtures are so tough to start off with, because Franck Kessie will likely be a great option at 5.5m. He’s the sort of player who will do well in balls recovered and is on penalties for AC Milan, too. He scored 13 goals and got six assists in 37 Serie A games last season and is only let down by games against Atletico Madrid and Liverpool as an option.

Wilmar Barrios (5.0m) – Zenit

A cheap, balls recovered beast, Wilmar Barrios averaged four points a game last season and is only 5.0m this year. Another solid, cheap option, who will pick up points regardless of fixtures. Don’t expect attacking returns, but for 5.0m you don’t need them.

Joao Palhinha (5.0m) – Sporting CP

Joao Palhinha has scored in his last two games for Sporting as a defensive midfielder. Whilst you can’t expect that sort of attacking output every week, he’s got goals in him and should also pick up balls recovered points. The main downside with Palhinha is his opening fixtures against Dortmund and Ajax, although neither side have looked particularly defensively solid so far this season. 

Nicolas Seiwald (4.5m) – Salzburg

A 4.5m starting CDM who will likely get balls recovered points at Salzburg. Him and Edson Alvarez are the two best options at 4.5m, as they should get a couple of points per game for balls recovered, alongside likely playing 90 minutes. 

Edson Alvarez (4.5m) – Ajax

See Seiwald, but he plays for Ajax, so is probably a slightly better option. Averaged a ball recovered every ten minutes in the UCL last season. That’s all, we hope that our list of best midfielders for UCL will help you out in the long run. Now take a look at the best forwards for UCL!

    Am fairly experienced at this with the price rises etc but question: how long are CR7/Kaku price protected for before rising?

    1. C-Dawgg
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Seemingly forever.

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

      Both could easily rise tonight.

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

      Its a conundrum wrapped in a mystery

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

      Haha so am I, price changes are always ridiculous, both should rise comfortably with that amount of transfers in but who knows whether they will allow it

  2. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Sissoko or Allan?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Sissoko

    2. Bounce
      • 3 Years

      Sissoko. McArthur looks good too.

      If no midweek issues.

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

        what midweek issues?

          • 14 Years

          The better teams play in midweek & injuries may occur.

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

      Definitely!

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

    Sanchez (Foster)
    TAA Shaw Ayling (Duffy) (Livramento)
    Salah Greenwood Raphinha Benrahma (Brownhill)
    Ronaldo Antonio Toney

    I am thinking about Toney and Duffy OUT and Bamford / DCL / Jimenez and Semedo IN for -4 instead of playing Brownhill or Duffy. What do you think?

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

      Think that hit pays off.

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

      Yep

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

    I got bottomed. Any changes you'd make here?

    Ramsdale
    TAA | Shaw | Rüdiger | Laporte

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

          1. Bounce
            • 3 Years

            Yeah I'm on a WC.

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

      Not keen on Benrahma with the fixtures.

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

        Lee BRE?

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

          I meant longer-term, don't West Ham play Man U too next game? United H, Leeds A, Bees H vs New A, WHU A, Wat H followed by much better fixtures after.

          West Ham also have to play in Europe...........

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

            Yeah United next but they have been awful defensively, agree long term i want rid too but ill keep for BRE

    4. Thinkering like a Boss

      wow nice team

  6. HD7

    What time are price changes, mates?

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

      About 45 minutes.

    2. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      In 45 minutes

    3. Casual Player
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not blaming anyone, but gets asked everyday. I reckon FFS should get a countdown timer on the front page for it 🙂

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

        different people I guess (I was one but now I know)

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

      Very soon, Ronaldo Lukaku Gallagher Marcal most likely to rise i think

  7. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Which one do you prefer ?

    A Keep Antonio*, play Livamento (mci)
    B Antonio to DCL with FT

    * bought at 7.6 so will lose value if his price drops

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

      Tough. I’d do B I think in this instance.

      1. Buck The Trent
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers

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

      B. but wait to see how DCL does tomorrow.

      1. Buck The Trent
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yes, either DCL or Bamford probably

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

      Or go big like me and get Lukaku for Ant by downgrading one of your mids?

      1. Buck The Trent
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Can do Antonio Greenwood to Lukaku 4.5 for -4 .. took -8 last week so probably should have wc-ed

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

          Thats the move i did as i had the exact cash! I'm sure ill get an injury or two during the week now

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

    Saint Maximum or 4.5 and upgrade elsewhere?

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

      You need to have one MID/FWD that's 4.5, but it depends what formation you want to play.

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

        Why? I don't have one at 4.5, cheapest price mid/fwd is 6.0

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

          wasted money on the bench with a 6m attacker. Could be spending the extra 1.5m on players that start every game

  9. dark91
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Antonio->DCL (-4) worth it?
    Otherwise will bench Antonio and start Bissouma

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

      thinking Bamford, Antonio has MU the game after the ban and some tricky matches. Leeds matches look much better IMHO

      1. dark91
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I already did Toney->Bamford for free and now contemplating the move above

  10. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez
    Shaw christensen matip (white amartey)
    Salah green jota benrahma (sissoko)
    Ronaldo toney (antonio)

    Which in each? -4

    A) benrahma to sarr traore gray raphinha
    B) toney to dcl bamford

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

      tricky, I like both!

      If I had to choose I would go for B - Bamford.

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

      B bamford

  11. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez Steele
    TAA Shaw Ayling Tsimikas Livramento
    Salah Bruno Benrahma Gray Odegaard
    Ronaldo Antonio* Scarlett

    1 FT
    0 ITB

    Antonio & Benrahma to Bamford & Sarr for -4?

    1. Nightf0x
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Thinking the same bamford dcl gray sar raphinha

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

      yes or Raph if you can afford but if you don't want too many Leeds you could consider Traore

  12. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A or B ?

    A DCL
    B Bamford (already have Raphinha)

    1. Nightf0x
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Same question i might go dcl as im getting raphinha

    2. Manani

      pretty much has to be 442 right with those up top?
      i'm struggling for anything else with poor team value
      i'd look to keep something itb with Torres fixtures turning after SOU and you can jump between Jota Mount Greenwood

      1. Gabbiadini

        i wc'd to it this gw in a 343.

              Hmmmm dont think that can be as strong overall not to mention the fact Jimi couldnt hit a bard door

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

                well, that's opinion.
                i prefer the flexibility of having a 7.5 fwd/mid option.

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

                  • 7 Years
                  2 years, 6 months ago

                  Yes agree 343 is the better formation but doesnt get you the best 11

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

                    well yes this week you are probably correct but wait and see.

          wouldn't mind seeing your full team to see how you've got this combo

              shaw to chelsea def in a few weeks i assume
              i do like the option of a 7.5m mid to interchange torres jota greenwood mount but can't have them all

                yes again this was a wc before this gw

                - i am
                - his next 3 fixtures are against the 3 teams with the worst defensive records in the league as of this gw
                - yes, shaw had Newcastle this week too hence the hold on the wc
                - jimenez and sarr i will likely trade out gw8, possibly for armstrong and mount or something similar.

        That would mean having to play one of Williams/Liv/Sissoko every week and Greenwood will be out of reach soon

        Sanchez Steele
        TAA James Shaw Liv Williams
        Salah Jota* Raphina Gallagher Sissoko
        Ronaldo Lukaku Scarlett

        Thanks..make sense

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

      fairly nice.
      but, I'm going to say my team with salah, ronaldo and lukaku is better 🙂

      1. POGBOOM KEBABOOM
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yes this 3 players is focal point for the team.

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

      Yes something very similar, I will have 12 of those players and White over Marcal

      1. POGBOOM KEBABOOM
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Nice..im also concern for marcal or swap to coady..but coady no attacking threat..what should i do?

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

          Marcal fine for now

    4. stamboy
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Shaw & Gallagher are good long-term but fixtures in the short-medium term aren't great. Not sure if Marcal is nailed prefer Semedo.

      1. POGBOOM KEBABOOM
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Cant afford fit in semedo

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

          Don't worry about it, he's not worth the extra.

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

        Marcal is making himself nailed

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

          That's what i see too. No guarantees but he's making himself harder to drop.

      May not in fact be a red, last weeks scores are up the creek.

    Is Brownhill likely to keep his starting spot?

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

      Hmmm no i don't think so but think he will play occasionally

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

      Nope not nailed

    3. bso

      Thanks guys

    1)Do you think Lukaku will also be rotated by Tuchel like the rest of the team?

    2) Do you think Ole will soon try to make rotations like City and Chelsea once the cups begin?

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

      1) Lol Werner

      2) Ole doesnt rotate as much but there will be more once Cavani Rashford are back

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

      To an extent they have no choice so they don't exhaust their players. The big clubs have high quality European teams to contend with and are expected to field strong XI's.

    3. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Chelsea stacked, might get 60/30 if needed but he should be fine for PL

  19. Dirty Harry
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Exact money for the below -4...

    Worth the risk to pull the trigger with probably Toney dropping and Gray rising?

    Toney + Benrahma > Bamford + Gray (-4)

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

      No

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

      Not a bad idea.

  20. Daniyal
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    given how this GW went, could shifting to a 4-3-3 be more profitable than 3-4-3 ?
    Many defenders who are looking good value atm

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

      Could be the way to go, although I don’t think we’ve had this many teams getting cleanies in a long time.

    2. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Always takes a few weeks for defenses to fit

      However, this year we have plenty for 4.0 options, which really helps with big boys firing up top

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

    Mahrez + Antonio > Raphinna + DCL (-4) ??

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

      Nope

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

      Just do Mahrez to Raphinha and bench Antonio if you can.

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

        i can do benrahm to raphinna. would u do that instead? Triple WHM (also got Coufal) feels a bit too much now that they stop scoring 3+ goals every game

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

          Yeah, I'd probably do that instead.

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

      I am keeping Antonio

  22. Bleh
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Okay to save transfer here, providing DCL is fit?

    Sanchez
    TAA, Duffy, Marcal, Shaw
    Benrahma, Salah, Jota, Torres
    DCL, Ronaldo

    Subs: Steele, Allan, Livramento, Antonio*

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Absolutely

      1. Bleh
        • 7 Years

        Cheers!

    2. WVA

        Perfect, thanks!

  24. Avery
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Crazy ?
    A. Salah & Antonio
    B. Lukaku & 8.7M

    Spot checking a lot of accounts in the top 1K quite a few seem to be without Salah

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

      I mean is it crazy to swap Salah money for Lukaku…?

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

        No. I've seen it be very successful.

  25. stamboy
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Do we think Greenwood is nailed? I'm thinking of transferring him out for Raphinna. Crazy? Fixtures for Leeds look better too.

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

      I think he is, at least until Rashford is back.

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

      I'm holding onto him until United's fixture turn i think. Unless Ole drops him, but that's unlikely.

    3. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think so, Rash might get a few more mins, but for the right wing it's Greenwoods spot atm

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

      Also Leeds look a bit adrift right now. I will still probably get Raph at some point because those fixtures should yield results but man they aren't inspiring much confidence.

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

        good point

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

    Will Marcal increase in price or WCs will not let him?

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

      He's getting enough transfers in to rise this week because of his haul. We just can't say exactly when precisely because of those wildcards.

    yay nay? can have this for -4 atm as prices are with 0.0 itb.

    Basically selling DCL > Lukaku and Antonio to 4.5 striker.. Allan is 4th mid atm and Omobamidele as 5th defender.
