๐ซ๐ท Paris
Mbappe missed out v Lille through illness, but is likely to be available v Leipzig.
Messi got subbed at HT but should be fine as well.
Hakimi wasn't involved after recieving a RC ๐ฅ v Marseille the week before.
๐ช๐ธ Barcelona
F. de Jong, Pedri and Araujo are all injured ๐
Pique & Agรผero both got subbed and look unlikely to feature as well.
Fati missed out with knee problems.
๐ช๐ธ Villarreal
Foyth & G.Moreno were not involved this weekend (rest?!)
And as usual, here's my look at the most promising #UCLFantasy options ahead of the 1/2 finals!
โฝ๏ธ Goalkeepers
There are only 4 starters left at this stage, with Chelsea's ๐ธ๐ณ Mendy being the cheapest one for โฌ5.5m, so I would most likely just go with him.
๐ต๐น Dias โฌ5.8m - The nailed on Man City starter. Cancelo (โฌ6.1m) gets rotated regularly while Stones (โฌ5.2m) & Walker (โฌ5.9m) start most games as well.
๐ง๐ท Marquinhos (โฌ6.0m) & Kimpembe (โฌ5.4m) are the most secure PSG options.
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.
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...
