After FFFrog’s article on the best UCL Goalkeepers, it’s time to begin planning your Fantasy UCL teams in preparation for the start of the competition next Tuesday. In order to help you plan your teams, comments below this dedicated article will be limited to UCL Fantasy only – feel free to discuss your latest thoughts, drafts and ideas!
For those of you new to the game, I strongly recommend giving ElFozzie’s beginner’s guide to UCL Fantasy a read to get you up to speed before you dive into setting your Matchday 1 teams up.

Finally back over to FPL Austria again for a superb list of predicted penalty takers for each time to help pad your squad out. It can be really tricky to predict who will be on penalties at the start of the season but this is a great list to get you prepared.
Many thanks to Mullered in Maenam for recommending we create this article, and of course to FPL_Austria and FPL Facts for their help putting this article together, please do check them out on Twitter for more UCL related content.
Let’s see your Fantasy UCL drafts!
2 years, 7 months ago
Hey all, as I say just a short community article that we can limit comments on to just UCL Fantasy so you have somewhere to discuss your teams and plans.
I won't be playing myself this year, so again a big thank you to FPL Austria and FPL Facts for kindly providing some top-notch assistance here! If anyone wants to take over and post their own short little articles for following matchweeks, perhaps looking at their top picks of the week or even just what the weeks fixtures would be, you'd be more than welcome!
Enough talk - let's see those drafts and what you're thinking as I'm sure there will be many new players this year
