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!

    Just want to show you guys something extremely freaky.

    Click the link to my team (via my profile) and have a look at this prediction.

    - On target for 80 points
    - 3 x double figure players
    - 2 midfielders blanked (almost predicted it)
    - Any return for Gray and it comes true haha!

    1. Steve The Spud

      Ok now I’m freaked out, somebody hold me!

    2. Eleven Hag

      More suprised about how you got all 4 of Salah TAA kaku n Ronny

  5. bench boost for every gamew…
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Its not all about Vvd back, there is that guy, running like he has two pair of handbags from the store, but calm, extremely good in positional play, decent with the ball too, and a menace in the air despite not being the most bulky. Joel Matip.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah he looks like the kind of player you’d like to run at in a Sunday league game but he gets the job done and they are looking more solid every week

      Makes Taa such a good asset seeing as with the cs he hoovers up bonus, get an assist and ends up with a haul

    I was listening to last week's Meet The Manager and he talked about some of the best stats to look at in the Member's area. Conversion rates, big chances etc.

    Which stats do you look at and regard as priority to guide your thinking?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Meh, I'm lazy. I just let the Pros - Seb Wassell, Mark Sutherns etc synthesise it and give me the data in a video, and ignore it.

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

      If I'm honest, it's the eye test + fixtures.

      xA guided me to Traore and it remained xA and not A.

      1. Jafalad
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Traore has great underlying data tbh...just doesn't convert it into points.

        Yes...eye test is important too.

    3. farmerfat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Xgi , Big chances , big chances created , shots in the box.

      1. Jafalad
        • 14 Years

        Thanks! 🙂

  8. Andrew
    • 12 Years

    Benrahma and Raphina are becoming a problem but who to swap them for?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      That's also a problem!

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

      I was thinking Gallagher but he faces Liverpool next 🙁

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I'm looking at bringing him in GW6 and having a one-week silly punt on Sarore 😉

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

          You're hoovering up the points. Just about pegging you back.

        2. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          What is your rank atm bud?

      2. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I would want him purely for entertainment value. Not a good reason for FPL though.

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

      either spend more or less on the replacements. I reckon going cheaper to get a 3rd premium. Gray, Gallagher, Sarr, Traore.

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

      I hear you, I am in the same boat, I am swaying more to keep Raph. And upgrade defence with a Chelski player. Maybe James or Chilwell.

    5. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Stick with raphina imo

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

      Keep Raphinha as the fixtures ease now.

      I think Traore has to come good with his fixtures.

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

    Sanchez
    Trent Shaw White
    Salah(c) Greenwood Raphinha Benrahma
    Ronaldo DCL Antonio

    Steele Brownhill Amartey Tsimikas
    0.6m 1FT

    A) Antonio to Bamford
    B) Tsimikas to Marcal

    appear to be my only real moves, WC keeps tempting me but don't think it's worth it yet.

    1. We Go Again
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would do B and bench Antonio this week. Team is fine, no need for WC

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

      I would defo save WC with that team
      Also, I'd do B and play 4 defenders next round

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

        yeah that's my thinking, a lot of value in Antonio if I wanted him back.

        unless Raphinha is part of your longer term plans in which case you may as well do that.

    Best option?

    A) Bruno, Scarlett, Webster-> Greenwood / Jota, DCL & Semedo (-8)
    B) Antonio & Webster -> Jimenez & Firpo / Marcal (-4)

    1. CRO KLOPP

    Salah, Jota, Sarr, G’Wood, Benrahma

    Looking like 4-5-1 next week if A…

  14. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Just a thought:
    More and more footballers are getting family as agents.
    Written stone you don't do that. We have seen the Kane debacle.
    A bit like defending yourself in court. Emotion and saving fees are running the thought process.
    I would want to make it mandatory a fixed % on business dealings be implemented to get rid of the sharks and keep the money where it should be; FOOTBALL

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

    Magnus Carlsen WC team:

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Coady
    Salah Jota Raph Traore
    Lukaku Auba Antonio
    Bench: Gunn Livra Williams Normann

    Like the Auba pick.

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bad pick for that price, let's be real. Worst value player in the game after Sterling, I think

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

        I think its a great pick with that fixture run.
        The main problem is Arteta thinking he is Pep with his rotations

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          But why pay the 2m extra for him over Bamford or DCL with their fixture runs?

          1. Cok3y5murf
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            This may, of course, age badly now that I've said it 😀

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

      Exact same as my WC team from last week other than Semedo over Coady and DCL over Auba.

      That seems like a really high value team, but to be honest Id rather DCL.

  16. jackruet
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    As mendy is unavailable, is it safe to say Cancelo is nailed?

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

      there is still zinchencko, and walker at right back.

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

        Cancelo can play both rb and lb. They Have no lb right now

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

          zinchencko is a left back?

          1. jackruet

            Zinchenko, walker, cancelo. 3 players for 2 position. Zinchenko for ucl and easier games

        2. Zimo

          They have Zinchenko for when rotation strikes. Just have Duffy or Livramento on your bench to come on when Cancelo doesn't play. He usually won't come on as a sub. Only did once last year.

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

      Not necessarily. The easier home games are the more likelier for rotations.

    Any thoughts on this WC much appreciated:

    Sanchez
    Shaw TAA Marcal
    Gallagher Salah Raph Torres Sarr
    Ronaldo Lukaku

    Steele White Livra Scarlett

    Thanks

      Torres is too much of a rotation risk to be put in a WC. I own him personally but will look to move him out after the Southampton game. Sarr got great fixtures but his form has been very disappointing.

    only seen MOTD but Kovacic looked great, i know they changed the midfield around at half time but he could be a good enabler on wild cards as a 4th/5th mid

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Is he nailed?

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

      I'd stay away with that midfield depth - afraid he'll be rotated and come on as sub when not starting

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

      I'd prefer Gallagher for a smidge more

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

      Hes scored his goal for the season

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

      How many matches has he looked great in?

  19. cigan
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Hi, how's this for a -4 plan (if nothing major happens in the CL games regarding injuries/Pep roulette)?

    Antonio, Bruno, Tsimikas > Lukaku, Jota/Greenwood, Marcal

    Sanchez
    Trent Shaw Coufal Livra Tsimi
    Salah Bruno Gundo Torres Sarr
    Ings Antonio Scarlett

    * Wildcard also a possibility, though I feel this team can get fixed with a hit or 2, especially with 2 FT available

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

      Could also replace Ings and just bench Antonio - and even get Ronaldo in, although I prefer Lukaku's fixtures

  20. Footieboot
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez (Begovic)
    Taa Shaw Coufal White Livramento
    Salah Jota Greenwood Benrahma Gilmour
    Ronaldo Antonio Toney

    1FT 0ITB

    A) Coufal + Benrahma --> Raphinha + Firpo -4
    B) Benrahma --> Sarr
    C) Coufal --> Any def below 5m

  21. PapaWengzz
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is Marcal nailed? Ait Nouri with a brand new long term contract and waiting on the bench puts me off

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

      i'm nervous about him too... feels like a transfer i'll live to regret. although planning a WC in GW7/8 so not a huge risk.

      1. PapaWengzz
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        This is a good point and I'm planning the same

    2. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      It's why I got Coady on my WC because I was desperate for a nailed player.

      That said, Semedo looks more attacking than TAA

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

    Chilwell's not getting his place back, is he?

    1. PapaWengzz
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not likely

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

      He and Stones have been so unlucky - basically lost their places due to England doing well this summer

  23. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Early thoughts ??

    1) Antonio to Bam, 352
    2) Tsim to Wolves def, 451
    3) Tsim Greenwood/Bruno to Wolves def Jota -4, 451
    4) Antonio to Jim, 352

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would keep Antonio so 2

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

        Despite of the red card itself, maybe it is a right time to get rid of Antonio ?

        WH will have to play 6 games within 17 days, while the squad depth is not great overall. Won't they regress as a team ?

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          For that price he is great value,and Tsimikas is bloking 3 rd Pool spot but go with yout gut

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

            Defo u r right about Tsim!

            1. CRO KLOPP
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Yes and wolves defender looks like a great value atm

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

    Who are people swapping Antonio for?
    Bamford? Jiminez? DCL? other ...

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

      keeping.

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

      Seems those that aren't keeping are switching to premium.

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

      0.1 short of getting Bamford, not really interested in anyone else so will probably just keep.

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

      keeping. he is a premium asset, very kindly priced. I dont think Bamford outscores him by 4 (value of transfer) + Williams score this week, over the next 5-6 weeks.

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

    Thoughts on Bruno and Scarlett to Bamford and raphina to leave 2.2m itb

    Allows me to bench Antonio for next gw

    Sanchez (Gunn)
    Trent coady shaw (Webster, livra)
    Salah Bruno Sarr BennyR Mbeumo
    Lukaku Antonio (Scarlett)

  26. Rbyrne95
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Reckon its worth keeping Mount for the next two in prep for GW 7? or transfer for Raph. I Reckon Chelsea will whip Spurs tbh.

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

      Try and get Lukaku in and a Chleski defender.

  27. TheTinman

    Digne and DCL owner here.

    FFS projections are 9pts total.

    I'm expecting much more than that! What are your predictions?

    I'm saying 14pts

        Then I rather not see DCL play tonight.
        Got Livramento first on the bench.

        1. Eleven Hag
          • 6 Years

          Same

      • BobbyV
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Rondon to start ahead of DCL

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

        im 2 points outside the top 10k once the auto-sub is factored in, so im hoping DCL gets something which will be enough to propel me in.

    3. Dogs Of War
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Who is more essential - Dias or Torres (and why?)

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

        Dias is nailed on and cheaper, Torres can be explosive but will be rotated all season long unless he shows consistency all season long which is difficult given the talent City have on the bench.

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

    4. wazzaaa

      rate my WC team

      Sanchez
      Alonso, James, Shaw
      torres, salah, gray, trincao, fornals
      ronaldo, lukaku,

      foster, tsimikas, white, dennis

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

        don't like the lack of trent.

        i think i 4-4-2 looks better with the 3 premiums as i prefer the 5-6m defenders over the midfielders.

        surely on WC you are not going for a non playing 4m defender (tsimikas)?

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

          really trying to get TAA in with a decent bench but thats hard , also really hoping klopp rotates between robbo and tsimi as he was bang on the first few gws

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

            what is the chance that you play Tsimikas for the odd game he gets (i would estimate he'll start maybe 3 more games this season barring injury or suspension).

            1. wazzaaa
              • 2 Years

              yeah tru

        Yes
