Here's a look at some of my prefered #UCLFantasy options ahead of MD7.
โฝ๏ธ Goalkeepers
๐ง๐ท Ederson โฌ6.0m - Part of a great defence and free of rotation which always is a worry with City players. And who knows, he might even take a penalty soon ๐
๐ต๐ฑ Szczesny โฌ5.5m - A bit cheaper than most of the other top clubs keepers and with Porto coming up twice, he should at least get one CS.
๐ฉ๐ช Hitz โฌ4.1m - Dortmund not in great shape and he has produced a couple of errors in the last weeks. Should start if Bรผrki ๐ remains out.
โฝ๏ธ Defenders
๐ฉ๐ช Kimmich โฌ6.6m - Expensive, but most likely worth it. 4 assists in his last 3 games ๐ ฐ๏ธ ๐ฅ
๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Man. City defence - Take your ๐ต pick here. Cancelo currently is the most attacking one with Stones/Dias also providing some goal threat. Rotation the usual caveat.
๐ช๐ธ Angelino โฌ5.4m - The wing-back is still Leipzig's top scorer with 4 goals + 6 assists so far this season โฝ๏ธ๐ ฐ๏ธ
๐ง๐ท Danilo โฌ5.0m - The cheapest way into Juventus' backline.
๐ช๐ธ Hermoso โฌ4.2m - Enabler from Atletico's defence. Playing v Chelsea who don't score too many atm.
๐ซ๐ท Kounde โฌ4.1m - Another cheap pick, this time from Sevilla. Many #UCLFantasy managers already had him in their teams for the group stage.
โฝ๏ธ Midfielders
๐ช๐ฌ Salah โฌ11.6m - Even though Liverpool is struggling atm, he still finds a way to score in a lot of games.
๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Man. City mids - Same as in defence, take your ๐ต pick.
Gรผndogan (great form ๐ฅ but injury ๐ doubt) and Sterling are their two stand outs atm.
๐ซ๐ท Nkunku โฌ7.6m - If Liverpool's recent form continues, the Leipzig mid. might be a decent differential.
๐ต๐น Oliveira โฌ6.7m - Probably Porto's best #UCLFantasy pick who already did well in the group stage.
๐ฎ๐น Chiesa โฌ7.0m - Picked up some form recently and might be the pick of the Juve midfield with Cuadrado being out injured.
๐ช๐ธ Suso โฌ6.9m - Registered a couple of returns in the last few weeks and is up against a shaky looking Dortmund defence.
๐ซ๐ท Coman โฌ8.5m - The pick out of the Bayern mids imo. Already did well in the group โฝ๏ธ๐ ฐ๏ธ and plays for the clear favourites to qualify for the next round.
๐ช๐ธ Llorente โฌ6.5m - In form Atletico attacker who registered 2 goals โฝ๏ธ and 5 ๐ ฐ๏ธ assists in his last 7 starts ๐ฅ
โฝ๏ธ Forwards
๐ต๐ฑ Lewandowski โฌ12.1m - 12 goals in his last 10 starts in the German league โฝ๏ธโฝ๏ธ
๐ต๐น Ronaldo โฌ12.0m - Not much explanation needed either ๐
๐ฆ๐ท Messi โฌ12.1m - Back to his goal scoring ways after Barca's slow start to the season. ๐ซ๐ท Griezmann for โฌ9.9m also picked up some form.
๐ฒ๐ฆ En-Nesyri โฌ7.4m - Same as Suso above. Already scored 13 goals โฝ๏ธ this La Liga season.
๐ณ๐ด Haaland โฌ11.1m - Despite Dortmund's form ๐
๐บ๐พ Suarez โฌ9.9m - Atletico's & La Liga's leading goalscorer with 16 goals already โฝ๏ธ๐ฅ
๐จ๐ด Muriel โฌ8.2m - Outscoring Zapata atm. as Atalanta's main source of goals. 9 goals in his last 11 appearances (in only 388 mins!).
Further #UCLFantasy news on teams that have now finished their games this weekend.
Barcelona ๐ช๐ธ
Appear to be in much better shape than at the start of the season and are now unbeaten in 11 La Liga games (9 wins, 2 draws) ๐ฅ Griezmann looks like one of their in form assets atm.
Araujo (โฌ3.8m) missed the last game through injury ๐ but returned to training and might start v PSG.
Porto ๐ต๐น
Rested a few players (Diaz, Mbemba, Uribe).
Oliveira (โฌ6.7m mid) and Taremi (โฌ6.6m fwd) who already looked like their best options scored the goals in a 2-2 draw โฝ๏ธ
Real ๐ช๐ธ
Lots of injured ๐ players already + Carvajal got subbed after 28 mins. Vazquez (โฌ7.5m mid) may now start at RB instead if he is out while on the wings, Asensio and Vinicius (โฌ7.9m each) look pretty nailed on ๐
Some #UCLFantasy news about teams that already have played this weekend.
PSG ๐ซ๐ท
di Maria = ruled out for the Barcelona game.
Neymar ๐ also out for a month.
Navas back in goal = Rico not an option anymore.
Sevilla ๐ช๐ธ
Rested a lot of players (En-Nesyri etc.) for the #UCL game but also got some injuries ๐ (Acuna/Navas/Ocampos).
Atletico ๐ช๐ธ
Lots of players still out with Covid + Gimenez got injured (~3 weeks) as well. Means Felipe+Hermoso (โฌ4.2m) should both start. Llorente โฝ๏ธ+๐ ฐ๏ธ
Dortmund ๐ฉ๐ช
Still not in great shape and conceded twice again (now 11 conceded in the last 5). Bรผrki is still out (shoulder inj.) but his replacement Hitz (โฌ4.1m) again made errors. Haaland & Sancho with the goals โฝ๏ธ
Juventus ๐ฎ๐น
Something I noticed here: They currently play...
