Enter the €250k FanTeam Champions League Group Stage tournament and get your FFS Membership free


Sponsored by FanTeam


The UEFA Champions League is back tonight – and by the end of the group stage, you could be €50k richer!

Fantasy managers can put their European football knowledge to the test in FanTeam’s €250K Champions League Group Stage game, which comes with a guaranteed first prize of €50,000.

And not only that, we’ve got an offer for new and existing FanTeam customers whereby you can get your Fantasy Football Scout Premium Membership for free!

As the name of the game suggests, there is a total of €250,000 in the kitty, with the top 1,250 managers walking away with cash prizes.

With a maximum of 15,060 entries permitted and, at the time of writing, only around 8,000 teams currently entered, the odds are favourable for those who know their Sheriff Tiraspols from their Shakhtars.

Entries cost just €20 (£16.80), a sum that many of us will have readily forked out in our Fantasy Premier League mini-leagues in the past.

Up to 100 teams per user are allowed, too.

Even better: the game rules and scoring system are very similar to FPL, so skills are easily transferred from one game to the other.

So if you’ve ever wanted to own both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in your Fantasy side – now you can!

JOSH’S UCL TEAM SELECTION

Josh Wooldridge, the winner of last season’s €250,000 first-place prize in FanTeam’s season-long Premier League game, has been chatting with Az over on our YouTube channel.

They have been discussing team selection for FanTeam’s Champions League Fantasy game, which you can view above.

HOW TO PLAY: A BRIEF GUIDE

  • Slightly from FPL, FanTeam Champions League managers build a team of 11 players that includes at least one goalkeeper, three defenders, two midfielders and one forward.
  • Safety Net feature: If your player doesn’t start, he will be replaced by a starting teammate in the same position whose value closely matches the original selection (descending prices only).
  • A maximum of three players from a single Champions League club can be picked, with the budget for the initial squad set at 100.0m.
  • A captain is chosen to earn double points, with a nominated vice-captain scoring double if the captain doesn’t play.
  • Two free transfers are allowed every Gameweek, with each additional transfer costing minus four points. Managers can roll a maximum of two Gameweek transfers forward but can never have more than four free transfers in their locker.

With only the group stage covered in FanTeam‘s game, there is no need to worry about long-term planning for the knockout rounds, price changes or chip strategy: it’s simply a six-Gameweek tournament, which runs from mid-September to early December.

For a rule breakdown of the rules, see the above image.

SCORING SYSTEM

Seasoned FPL managers, or those playing FanTeam’s €1m season-long Premier League game, should have no problem in adjusting to the €250K Champions League Group Stage game.

The familiar scoring system is shown above, with the minor differences outlined below.

KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FANTEAM AND FPL
  • There is no Bonus Points System, which is replaced by plus/minus points (+0.3/-0.3) if a team is winning/losing during the period a player is on the pitch.
  • Goalkeepers get 0.5 points for every save made, unlike the one point awarded in FPL for increments of three stops.
  • Committing a foul that leads to a free-kick goal or converted penalty is penalised by minus two points.
  • Midfielders and forwards get an extra point for completing the full match.
  • Each shot on target is rewarded (+0.4 for forwards/midfielders, +0.6 for defenders, +1.0 for goalkeepers).

    Thougts on this wc draft? Double wolves defence too much?

    Sa
    Taa James semedo
    Salah raphina Sarr gray Gallagher
    Ronaldo lukaku

    Steele liv williams Scarlett

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I d go marcal over semedo otherwise all areas are covered gtg

    2. The Sociologist
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Would downgrade Sa and Semedo (Sanchez /Coady?) and hopefully that gives you enough for one of Jota/Greenwood

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

        Cheers

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

      I think its too much but their fixtures are fine for now, you can change Semedo later.

      I'm also not a fan of Salah-Luka-Ron trio since it impacts midfield but again, there arent really any expensive mids firing, so all good.

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

        would be nice if you can add a Man City defender over one of these mids.

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

          Sa williams Sarr > Sanchez cancelo bissouma?

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

            You can stick with Sa. Semedo to Marcal is an option.

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

              Would have to downgrade James to rudiger also. Worth it?

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

                I guess Sissoko over Bissouma will allow you to keep James?

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

                  Ah yes. Thanks mate!

  2. Beautiful Game
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any transfer suggestions for this lot? Thanks in advance!

    Also, what's your take on Antonio? Keep or sell?

    Sanchez | 4m
    TAA | Shaw | Coufal | Veltman | Tsimikas
    Salah | Torres | Benrahma | Gray | 4.4m
    Ronaldo | DCL | Antonio

    1FT, 1.1m ITB

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

      DCL has to be the priority I think.

      Him to either Bamford or Jimmy would be my suggestion.

    2. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      DCL to Bamford the most obvious move. I'm keeping Antonio for now I think

    3. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      solve DCL first

  3. JY84
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    My current team is

    Sanchez
    Cresswell Shaw TAA Tanganga* (Amartey*)
    Fernandes Salah Benrahma ESR (Gilmour*)
    Jimenez DCL* (Antonio* )

    1FT, 1.1m ITB

    Trying to delay WC until e nx international break... Players labelled with asterisks are my problem players! Do u all think my team is strong enough if I take a -4 n replace Tangaga and DCL with Bamford & Marcel?? Or is it simply essential to include one of Lukaku/ Ronaldo esp since I would have to remove Fernandes (one of the fit players in my squad) to hv e funds to buy Lukaku/CR7?

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think that -4 is OK for this week

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      justified -4 move

      1. JY84
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        So in ur opinion, do u mean to say that I shdn't be focused on getting Lukaku/CR7 in my squad for e time being but instead focus on including Bamford n Marcel instead n getting Tangaga n DCL out?

  4. Traction Engine Foot
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Team starting to look a bit depleted but can I get away with saving a transfer here?

    Sanchez
    TAA Ayling Shaw White
    Salah Greenwood Benrahma Jota Barnes
    Ronaldo

    Steele Livramento Antonio Perica

      Absolutely

    2. The Sociologist
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, but I think it’s worth shipping Barnes

      1. Traction Engine Foot
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I am a bit fed up with him but thought he and Leicester looked a lot better against City and their next 3 fixtures aren't bad..

    3. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      if you dont drop Barnes eventually Rogers will

  5. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Sorry, bottomed. What are folks thoughts on Kovacic? He's getting the minutes so far.

    Current WC squad:

    Guata / 4m

    TAA / Rudiger / Marcal / White / 3.9

    Salah / Jota / Raphina / Doucoure / Kovacic

    Ronaldo / Lukaku / 4.5

    0.0ITB

    1. The Sociologist
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Will he start for you regularly? If so - not keen.

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

        With that squad I can play 442 or 352. I'm not relying on him to play.

    2. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Kova to 4.5. upgrade Doucoure

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

        Doucoure can be Gray too. I am preferring Doucoure right now tbh.

        1. Weeb Kakashi
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Kova to Sissoko. Semedo in for Marcal. Keep the change. Also 3.9 to Livra and you are g2g

  6. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC?

    Sanchez
    TAA Reece Semedo (Williams Livra)
    Salah Jota Raphinha Sarr (Sissoko)
    Ron Bamford Jimenez

    0.7 ITB. Any Improvements?

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

      I like it. It's basically what I would go with if I go with just one of Luk / Ron.

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thank you.

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

      Really nice. Shows you what's possible without the three heavy hitters.

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Exactly this. Cheers Mate

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

      Needs Doucoure

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        SARR-Y

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

      Looks great

      Would consider Sanchez to Sa with the extra cash, just due to fixtures over the next 10ish gameweeks

      I also like Shaw over Sarr for the next 3, given it allows the switch to Cancelo GW8

      Are you sure RJames is nailed enough to warrant the upside over Rudiger?

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Great input mate.
        Are you on WC too?

        Shaw> Cancelo looks great. I have lined up a similar transfer for Sarr> Mount/Grealish/Pepe in GW8. Either way could work fine. Sarr is on pens and that tempts me big time.

        But I will consider Shaw also. West Ham wont have Antonio and Everton wont have DCL. Could be really good.

        Not only Cancelo but he could be a route to a Double Chelsea defender as well. Probably Chilwell if he gets his place back.

    UCL official game:

    Mendy Kobel
    TAA, Hummels, Diego Carlos, Roussillon, Wober
    Salah, FTorres, Rakitic, Edson Alvarez, Palhinha
    Haaland, Lewandowski, En-Nesyri

    1. The Mentaculus

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years

      Nice. Like the en nesyri pick, I'm going with him too. On this currently:
      Musso Pyatov
      TAA Kimmich Christensen Carlos Roussillon
      Salah Musiala Reus Danilo Alvarez
      Håland Lukaku En-Nesyri

      1. The Mentaculus

        Anyone else playing? Care to share teams?

      2. WALOR
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Would do James or Rudi over Christiansen

  8. boc610
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    these wildcard teams without bruno, a big haul from him against hammers do you get him back?

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

      No

      1. boc610
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        ha brave words. fair play if you do but he will be in dead teams from now until the end of the season and could destroy some ranks unless his points are covered.

    2. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years

      No

    3. WALOR

      Not if you have Ronaldo

        ole said ron's minutes will be managed , along with masons, thats my only concern

          Ha, that's if you believe Ole.

    4. Chris_H
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      After GW6 i'm relying on one of Pogba/Greenwood as some form of cover - their fixtures are just too tricky to warrant Bruno or Ronny imo

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

    Wildcard up the left after 1 week but think I have a plan.

    Sanchez
    Taa Shaw Semedo Wiliams Livramento
    Salah Jota Raphina Traore Sissoko
    Cr7 Dcl Antonio

    GW 5: Dcl and Antonio to Lukaku and 4.5
    GW 6: Jota to Gallagher
    GW 7: Williams to Rudiger/James

    Leaving me:

    Sanchez (Steele)
    Taa Shaw Rudiger Semedo (Livra)
    Salah Raphina Gallagher Traore (Sissoko)
    Cr7 Lukaku (4.5)

    With 0.5- 1 million in bank to look at going double Chelsea defence or downgrade Shaw to upgrade Traore to Mount in tbe following week.

    Solid plan yes or no?

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

      You're gonna get rid of Jota with Brentford away?

      Roll FT in 6.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Do we have any info on Firmino yet?

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

        Probably depends on Firminio news, out still I probably will roll though Brentford away is a tough fixture for attacks so far.

        Brighton at home for Palace seems the more favourable fixture.

        Can decide that one closer to the time. Solid otherwise?

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

          Yeah it's a fine plan I suppose. I wish I had DCL + Antonio > Lukaku + 4.5m open. 0.3m short...

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

          I see a huge haul for Torres this week and a blank for Gray.

          It could wait a week and be for free

        2. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Then upgrade Scarlett after maybe

      2. The Knights Template

        You’ve tied your feet together with Scarlett. Going to call you Dennis Hopper from now on.

          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Not a fan personally yea

          But nearest option even worth considering is Dennis and that's .7 upgrade to sit on bench

        • Has Moderation Rights

        - Do you trust Man United's defence? I don't, tough fixtures on the horizon
        - Everyone and their uncle will tell you Raphinha, he hasn't banged yet. I made the mistake with Traore and Sarr
        - Consider Doucoure, he passed the eye test yesterday. I know Gray looks like their main point score but that guy was a machine
        - Instead of Sanchez, I'd go Ramsdale to be honest. As much as I enjoy mocking Arsenal, they looked better and I think there are C/S on the horizon, if not Sa?
        - I'd go with a Wolves double up defensively

        Good luck.

        B if I had to but saving is still a valid option to assess Leeds one more week. They are hardly flying right now.

      Im wildcarding in GW8.

      Coufal to Semedo -4? I really dont see much return from Vladimir over the next few, especially with europa league kicking in.

      Semedo seems to have a massive upside.

          Reddit is saying that Bamford may have a hamstring injury!!? Anyone got any updates on it??

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            At the start of an interview on BBC 5Live he was heard saying that his "hamstring was pinging" before he realised he was on air. But I just took that as he was tired from an intense match. He's probably fine, he didn't mention anything in the interview.

              Yes, nothing serious probably, but for me enough doubt not to transfer him in anyway. He is now in "don't buy, don't sell" category imo.

          Any love for ASM at 6.5m?

          Seems nailed and very exciting.

          Fixtures aren't bad either really.

          He takes up a valuable forward spot though

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

            That would surely imply he isn't valuable then

        • Littlebitwizardoföz
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          General consensus seems to be Jota > Greenwood and Semedo > Marcal - why is this? Slightly confused - thanks.

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

            First I saw that today to be honest

            1. southernrocker1
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Marcal had a great game v Watford but Semedo could have easily got a haul. Jota blanked but he has a great fixture next game. Sideways moves.

          2. out for a goalkick
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Firmino is currently injured meaning Jota will most likely start as central striker in his absence. With the purchase of Ronaldo, Greenwood has lost the starting central striker position and will be moved out wide, which may limit his goal scoring opportunities, he may also be fighting for minutes once Fred & Mctominay are available again in CM, with Pogba moved back onto the left, therefore competing with Sancho + Rashford won't be long before returning.

            Semedo > Marcal due to goal scoring positions he gets himself into - although seems very wasteful when he gets there

        • Athletic Nasherbo
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          9.3m to spend on a striker for one week only. Thinking Jesus, providing he doesn’t start midweek. Any others?

        • jackruet
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I’m still convinced the majority won’t sell Ronaldo in GW7

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

            Will be hard ...

            1. southernrocker1
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              100%. It's a baffling decision. I now have Lukaku and Ronaldo up front. Heading it off at the pass.

          2. Babit1967
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Gw8 to Lukaku easy decision for me

          3. Weeb Kakashi
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I will. Purely based on Captaincy.

          4. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I will be for sure, no matter how big he scores.

            Fixtures are really bad until GW14:
            EVE lei LIV tot MCI wat che ARS

            And the data has proven time and time again that fixtures are huge for returns.

            1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              I wouldn't call Everton and Leicester really bad, Everton have conceded 4 in 4 and Leicester and Spurs have been very poor despite some positive results. City, Chelsea and Liverpool sure, although I don't think Liverpool have really been tested defensively. Watford and Arsenal aren't bad either. Even with those big games Ronaldo has shown he can return in them and two of them are at home.

          5. Maeki2
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Why decide now. Ronaldo is a player that can score against any team at least in the past. Lukaku i dont know.

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

            The majority playing the game probably won't but looking at the fixtures it just seems more logical to go to Lukaku (unless people have L+R+S)

          7. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Maybe. But if Kane shows form I am switching to him in GW7

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 9 Years

            Gilmour

            Williams I think

            • 12 Years

            Both pretty good chance of 2pters. I’d probably play Williams & hope for a cleanie

          Not worth a WC right?

          A) Coufal --> Semedo
          B) Benrahma --> Sarr/Gray
          C) Coufal + Benrahma --> Firpo + Raphinha -4

            • 4 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Don't like any of those transfers. What about Benrahma + Toney > Jimenez + Gallagher. Do the funds stretch? Haven't done the math

            1. Stormbringer22
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 4 Years

              Or C, but not Firpo

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

              Unfortunately funds are not sufficient for that move and also don't fancy Gallagher with those fixtures especially for a hit.

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

            I'm assuming your GW4 team at present is:

            Sanchez
            TAA | Shaw | White
            Salah | Jota | Greenwood | Benrahma
            CR7 | Antonio | Toney

            Antonio > Jimenez perhaps?

            or if you what about:

            Antonio > Pukki + Benrahma > Raphina for -4???

            How many goals do you expect Antonio to score against Leeds (a) Brentford (h) Everton (a) Spurs (h) ???

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

              I would like to hold Antonio. I think he is by far the best pick in the 7-8m range. His underlying numbers have always been amazing and West Ham look good. It is either Coufal or Benrahma that need to go but a bit reluctant in removing any of them as after United their 2 fixtures look good.

              1. out for a goalkick
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                The only problem with that is it means moving to a 3-5-2 or 4-4-2 and none of Coufal, Livramento or Gilmour can really be relied on in GW5.

                Coufal > Marcal + Benrahma > Raphinha for -4 gives you:

                Sanchez
                TAA | Shaw | White | Marcal
                Salah | Jota | Greenwood | Raphinha

          Saka had 6 shots last game, has no European fixtures, and has a sea of green fixtures coming up.

          At 6.3m, why would you go for Traore and Raphinha over him?

          1. ElliotJHP
            • 11 Years

            I would go Saka over Traore, but prefer Raph still.

            Arsenal look toilet. I think it’s an easy monitor for now.

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

              I'm on WC though. Classic debate of monitoring players until they score, or getting players in before they do

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

            Counter argument would be that Arsenal managed to score only 1 (lucky) goal against Norwich and Saka averaged 4pts/90min last season.

            I think Arsenal need a game or 2 more where visible improvement is shown before investing.

            Hammers returning from a Thursday night match in Russia. Friday travelling and resting. Saturday first training session. Ronaldo playing tonight (so well rested). I think that makes it more complicated.
