And as usual, here's my look at the most promising #UCLFantasy options ahead of the 1/2 finals!
⚽️ Goalkeepers
There are only 4 starters left at this stage, with Chelsea's 🇸🇳 Mendy being the cheapest one for €5.5m, so I would most likely just go with him.
🇧🇷 Vinicius & 🇪🇸 Asensio (€8.1m each) are the most exciting picks from Real, while 🇭🇷 Modric (8.0m) actually got some nice returns as well recently.
🏴 Mount (€6.9m) is the stand out CHE pick atm, 🇧🇷 Jorginho (€6.2m) offers an even cheaper alternative.
🇩🇪 Havertz (€8.9m) & 🇺🇲 Pulisic (€8.7m) are interesting punts, but quite pricey.
🏴 Man City mids - de Bruyne (€11.4m) is the most expensive mid left in the game, but still a great pick. Foden (€7.3m) is in great form while Gündogan is even cheaper (€6.9m).
Here's a look at some of my prefered #UCLFantasy options ahead of MD7.
⚽️ Goalkeepers
🇧🇷 Ederson €6.0m - 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 😅
🇵🇱 Szczesny €5.5m - A bit cheaper than most of the other top clubs keepers and with Porto coming up twice, he should at least get one CS.
🇩🇪 Hitz €4.1m - Dortmund not in great shape and he has produced a couple of errors in the last weeks. Should start if Bürki 🚑 remains out.
⚽️ Defenders
🇩🇪 Kimmich €6.6m - Expensive, but most likely worth it. 4 assists in his last 3 games 🅰️ 🔥
🏴 Man. City defence - Take your 🔵 pick here. Cancelo currently is the most attacking one with Stones/Dias also providing some goal threat. Rotation the usual caveat.
Further #UCLFantasy news on teams that have now finished their games this weekend.
Barcelona 🇪🇸
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) 🔥 Griezmann looks like one of their in form assets atm.
Araujo (€3.8m) missed the last game through injury 🚑 but returned to training and might start v PSG.
Porto 🇵🇹
Rested a few players (Diaz, Mbemba, Uribe).
Oliveira (€6.7m mid) and Taremi (€6.6m fwd) who already looked like their best options scored the goals in a 2-2 draw ⚽️
Real 🇪🇸
Lots of injured 🚑 players already + Carvajal got subbed after 28 mins. Vazquez (€7.5m mid) may now start at RB instead if he is out while on the wings, Asensio and Vinicius (€7.9m each) look pretty nailed on 🔒
Some #UCLFantasy news about teams that already have played this weekend.
PSG 🇫🇷
di Maria = ruled out for the Barcelona game.
Neymar 🚑 also out for a month.
Navas back in goal = Rico not an option anymore.
Sevilla 🇪🇸
Rested a lot of players (En-Nesyri etc.) for the #UCL game but also got some injuries 🚑 (Acuna/Navas/Ocampos).
Atletico 🇪🇸
Lots of players still out with Covid + Gimenez got injured (~3 weeks) as well. Means Felipe+Hermoso (€4.2m) should both start. Llorente ⚽️+🅰️
Dortmund 🇩🇪
Still not in great shape and conceded twice again (now 11 conceded in the last 5). Bürki is still out (shoulder inj.) but his replacement Hitz (€4.1m) again made errors. Haaland & Sancho with the goals ⚽️
Juventus 🇮🇹
Something I noticed here: They currently play...
