Before I'll have a scan through the most promising #UCLFantasy forwards, I'll now have a look at chip strategies.
The way the fixtures have fallen, there's no obvious best strategy, making things quite interesting.

1. LWC2, WC3
Probably the most common strategy.
The big pro with this one is we can field a strong MD1 team without having to plan for MD2 etc.
WC3 is very powerful as well as MD3+4 consists of the same (very easy in some cases) set of fixtures.
WC3 seems especially good for the teams here, who have a good run from MD3-MD6. Triple Real, Trent, Salah, Haaland, Spurs, PSG fwd... all could do the trick here.
What I don't fully like is the set of MD2 fixtures.
However with Milan - Zagreb, Chelsea - Salzburg, Real - Leipzig and PSG at Haifa it's probably enough to justify the LWC here 🤔
2. Building a squad for MD1+MD2, WC3, LWC5 or 6.
For this strategy we have to pick players from teams with a set of good opening fixtures, and there are plenty of teams to choose from. Milan and Chelsea really stand out here, Spurs and Real are great as well.
The caveat here is we have to keep getting players with a tough fixture in either MD1 or 2 at a minimum, making it difficult to include too many Barcelona players v Plzen for example.
Also, the question here is "does LW5 look better than LWC2 above?!" I don't really think so 😅
Let's try LWC6 instead... thoughts?
I think it acutally looks slightly better (beside no PSG) than LWC5 above, but keep in mind the line-up and rotation lottery MD6 can be. At least Milan, Chelsea and Real have all great looking fixtures here.
3. WC2, LWC3 (or 5, or 6)
This one is a bit... different...
As we have seen in the 1st picture there are a lot of teams with a nice run from MD3-MD6, but let's check how it looks from 2-6.
As you can see, pretty much the same top teams have a good run from 2 to 6 as well.
As in the 1st strategy we can pick a good MD1 here, and we have also the bonus of an incredible looking LWC3. Liverpool v Rangers, Bayern v Plzen, Real v Donetsk, City v Copenhagen, Juve v Haifa...
The problem here though is to navigate from MD2 to MD6 without another wildcard, making transfer pretty important should injuries mount up (and they will 😅)
So maybe the risk and the good looking LWC3 doesn't outweight the more common LWC2 approach.
Which one are you going for?
Maybe even a completely different strategy I haven't even mentioned?
