The 2024/25 UEFA Champions League (UCL) returns on Tuesday with Matchday 10 – and so does the competition’s official Fantasy game.

Here, Ed, another one of our resident European football doyens and a co-host of the official UCL Fantasy podcast, drops by to give us his team reveal.

You can get his weekly thoughts in more detail via a weekly UCL Fantasy newsletter.

Although I ended up with another green arrow in Matchday 9 – three in a row now, finally some momentum – I was frustrated with 90 points.

Not only did I not take my own advice and captain Ousmane Dembele (€8.4m) because I was trying to be a bit different and chase rank, I also got blinded by the Randal Kolo Muani (€7.1m) mind virus that overtook large parts of the community. Therefore, I sold Serhou Guirassy (€8.0m), which was annoying.

    Interesting. We have two weekends without PL action in March: 21st-23rd and 28th-30th.

      Why is that interesting? It's the March IB.

        Late reply. Interesting that there two weekends. I don't remember it usually being two weekends but I might be wrong.

      International break followed by FA Cup QF's on weekend 28th-30th March but there was a possibility of the PL game between Newcastle and Palace being played there (if both were out of the cup) until it was rescheduled to GW32.

      Huh Rookie numbers....can you post top 2m stats by any chance?

  8. Tmel
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 2 hours ago

    This is related to my Draft FPL team rather than regular but would appreciate the advice! Currently have Eze but he seems to have some fitness issues at the moment. Would you waiver him out for any of Nwaneri, Merino or Rashford?

  9. mookie
    • 12 Years

    Vini to Gimenez or Guirassy? Have Kane and Pavlidis.
    Foden to ???? Have 4 PSG and 4 Bayern.

    How likely is it that Newcastle has an double on gw33? (As seems they got the gw32 dgw)
    Might have to consider AM chip use there.
    WC30, AM 31-33 and then FH34

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 2 hours ago

      Newcastle DGW32 was due to EFL cup final clashing with Newcastle v Palace in 29 and PL rearranged to 32.

      Newcastle need to progress to FAC SF for the chance of a double in 33 as FAC clashes with BGW34

    2. mookie
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 1 hour ago

      They have to reach the FA Cup semifinal.
      31 - lei
      32 - MUN, CRY
      33 - avl, IPS(likely, if they reach the FA semis)

  11. gers23

    Gakpo and Gordon to Cunha and Mbuemo?

    2 FTs

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years

      Yep

      Not FH 29?

    I remember Emery throwing a midweek game last season against City so they were rested for the more important weekend game.

    Unlucky for Emery owners.

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 2 hours ago

      Emery is a such a troll. Was awful at arsenal in the 2nd half of the season with ridiculous rotation

    2. Qaiss
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 1 hour ago

      You do realise Moyes to Emery owners are winning and up on points right?

      Slot’s ceiling is so low compared to Emery. Just accept you didn’t have the cojones to go for big rank gains

      1. putana
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 1 hour ago

        im 2.5k OR and I havent played my AM yet. Nice try though

        1. Qaiss
          • 9 Years
          10 months, 1 hour ago

          Prove it

        2. Dre
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 months, 1 hour ago

          Was curious to see if you'd mentioned your rank before so had a quick look at your posts;

          4 days ago
          "AM chip from 36-38 seems awful. Who would you even play it on? Most are hard to call and probably no table bonus"

          2 days ago in response to "Anyone activating the am chip this GW?"
          "nah saving for 36 probably"

          Pinch of salt required I imagine

          1. putana
            • 7 Years
            10 months, 1 hour ago

            I mentioned my rank about a month ago when I was 8k

            1. Qaiss
              • 9 Years
              10 months, 1 hour ago

              So you haven’t proved it yet ?

              1. putana
                • 7 Years
                10 months, 20 mins ago

                don't want to link my team after the hack last year. Tring to copy and paste screenshot but wont let me post here

      2. mookie
        • 12 Years
        10 months, 1 hour ago

        Most went for Moyes because they already had 3 Pool or not enough money to get Slot without a hit.

        Cojones had feck all to do with it. Especially in your case:
        https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2025/01/31/fpl-double-gameweek-25-confirmed?hc_page=1&hc_sort_by=comment_date#hc_comment_27052509

        1. Qaiss
          • 9 Years
          10 months, 1 hour ago

          Haha you got me chief but I did reevaluate it and decided I can’t cheer on Liverpool to win 4 games in a row as an Arsenal fan, which I also posted

          Many did sell Gakpo for Slot out of fear

          The reason I spoke about the cojones is because if Liverpool win 2-1 tomorrow, Slot owners win by 4 points. That’s a clean sheet for a defender

          If Villa win 2-1, Emery would win by 20

    Which mid would you buy this week regardless of price diff...will Wc30

    A Buemo
    B Trossard
    C Dango (have Kluivert)
    D Other upto 8.5

    1. popey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 1 hour ago

      A/C consider if you are likely to need some money prepping for 29 as may help decision, quite a big price diff

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 1 hour ago

      A

  15. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years

    This could be a good week to take a punt on a different captain. I'm thinking either Isak or Kluivert.

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 1 hour ago

      Nah maybe next gw. City are just dreadful at defending having watched them most weeks.

      Salah is especially deadly away from home. Double digit haul loading

      At home next gw I'm tempted to go palmer

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 1 hour ago

        I see it being a low scoring affair

  16. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 1 hour ago

    I read that Kane missed the final training session so has to be a serious doubt for starting tonight's game.

    1. FFS ManU
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 1 hour ago

      Kompany said that he thinks that Kane's facial injury is "... nothing too bad" in his press conference according to https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cwyeygy155no

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 1 hour ago

      Thanks both. But only makes him available, not into the starting eleven. Still a good chance he starts on the bench.

      1. FFS ManU
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 1 hour ago

        Fair point.

  17. popey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 1 hour ago

    What to do with Bruno... UTD look woeful

    He does have IPS coming and lei in 29 (not using FH)

    1FT £0.5M

    Allison (Vald)
    TAA, Gabriel, Robinson (Huijsen, Myko)
    Salah, Palmer, Rogers, Bruno, Kluivert
    Isak, Wood, Cunha

    a) sell > Mbeumo
    b) sell > Dango
    c) bench this week and hold to 29

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 1 hour ago

      a

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 1 hour ago

      I'm in a similar positions am and trying to decide between the two. A this GW, and Rogers to B before the double, leaves you with just a keeper to get for BGW29. It's a nice team I wouldn't want to break it up anymore than that.

  18. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 1 hour ago

    Surely a hit for Slot -> Arteta worth it next GW?

    1. Boz
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 39 mins ago

      I don't think a hit for a manager is a good idea....

    2. Freshy

      good on paper

    My team 4-3-3 : 1 Ft, 1.0 bank

    Sels - Fabian
    Timber - TAA - Kerkez - Robinson -( Greaves )
    Salah - Palmer - Gordon - Kluivert - ( Dibling )
    Isak - Wood - Gakpo

    A ) Gakpo -> Beto / Cunha
    C) Dibling -> Nwaneri / Mbuemo

    1. Boz
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 36 mins ago

      Wait for Gakpo news but if he's out he's an easy switch

  20. Bullet Eder
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 42 mins ago

    Will we know how many doubles there will be (and who) in 33 and 36 if wildcarding in 30?

  21. Boz
    • 13 Years
    10 months, 40 mins ago

    Thoughts on Wissa or Mbuemo?

    A) Rogers to Mbuemo (bench Pedro)

    B) Pedro to Wissa (bench Rogers)

    Mbuemo on pens but Wissa better form I can see

  23. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 35 mins ago

    Vinny Jnr. or Guirassy, for Kane or Kolo Muani? Or both?

    Am concerned that Kane starts on the bench and Guirassy gets subbed off early as Dortmund already lead Sporting 3-0.

  24. POGON 1948

    Is it beyond delusional to hope Amad would be back for BGW29 or just regular delusional?

    1. Bobby Digital

      Beyond, he's out for the season
