You have 5 free transfers to make today/tonight so let's use them wisely. You can have up to 6 players from one team.
Remember that we have till 8pm BST to make them, & we'll be able to see the lineups for:
Bayern v Real Madrid
As always, I won't make my transfers until the lineup for this game has been released.

When you make your transfers, remember to NOT just think about this MD, you need to think about which players are likely to be playing in the Final
After the 1st leg, we get 3 FTs to make before the 2nd legs. Then 5 to make before the final. We want to make sure that we maximise the numbers of players that are still in the competition.
PSG & Real are the favourites to qualify. Dortmund are the most likely to get eliminated.

🎯 Fixtures & Teams to target
IMO PSG are the team to target, then Real, maybe some Bayern players & avoid Dortmund….unless to want to go for a YOLO play!
PSG have the best attack of the two games this week, and they are away from home. Obviously they will be heavy favourites next week at home!
Likewise Real will be strong favourites next week at home.

🧤 GKs
If you have a playing GK, well done! Use your transfers to get 11 players, leaving the GK till last. It's obviously better to have a GK then an outfield player on the bench. But it's the lowest scoring position & it certainly isn't worth a hit to bring in a GK.
As there's only 4 teams left & considering the price of the best players left in the competition, budget isn't an issue any more. So if you're going for a GK I would go for Donnarumma (6.0m). He's the best left.

🛡️ DFs
Due to the strength of the matchup, PSG have the best defenders.
Hakimi (6.1m) is the best bet, followed by Mendes (5.5m) then Marquinhos (5.5m).
Antonio Rüdiger (5.4m) & Mendy (5.2m) are the best Real defenders. Carvajal is suspended.
Nico Schlotterbeck (5.6m) & Davies (3.6m) are good options for this week, but not so much in their away legs next week.

🎯 MDs
The best Mid, by far is Jude. He is must-own.
I've mentioned so many times in the past that Vitinha is the best PSG mid & a great budget option. After goals in both quarter final legs even the casuals know who Vitinha is now! Budget isn't an issue & Vitinha is someone everyone should be looking to bring in. I will be!
Even though Real are favourites, & I expect them to get past Bayern, Musiala is a good pick.
Valverde then Kroos are the best Real mids.
If you want a mid from a German team then Goretzka & Kimmich are the top ones for Bayern, while Brandt, Sancho & Sabitzer are the stand outs for Dortmund.

⚽️ FWDs
With only 4 teams left there's only 6 FWDs worth considering at all:
Kylian Mbappé (11.7m)
Vinicius Júnior (11.1m)
Harry Kane (10.2m)
Ousmane Dembélé (8m)
Niclas Füllkrug (7.5m)
Rodrygo (9.2m)

Niclas Füllkrug (7.5m)

Like Jude, Kylian Mbappé is must own.
There's not much between Vini J & Kane. Between the two I prefer Vini as Real are favourites to qualify.
Dembélé (8m) is the best budget FWD option. If I was on a WC I would take him with Mbappé & Vini to allow money to be spent elsewhere.
Füllkrug & Rodrygo are fine if you already have them in your team, but I wouldn't be transferring them in now though as the other players mentioned above as superior options.

Suggested WC Team
There's money left over with this draft so it's easy to change Dembélé to Kane by downgrading a Davies to Dier.
6 PSG
6 Real Madrid
2 Bayern
1 Dortmund
(The app says Davies in suspended but that was for the previous game

My Team now:
You may be thinking: "What the hell happened?!?"
Before the Quarter-finals 2nd legs I had:
-5 Barcelona (74% to qualify)
-4 Man City (71% to qualify)
-3 Arsenal (45% to qualify)
The chances of Barcelona, Man City & Arsenal ALL going out was 4.1%! 😲
Very unlucky, but that's Fantasy football for you!
Just got to take it on the chin & carry on. I was targeting a top100 finish, that's now dead in the water so staying in the top1000 is the new goal.

I have 2 players, with 5 FTs that gets me up to 7.
For the 2nd leg another 3 FTs will get me up to 10 players. I will certainly take 1 hit, that player will have 2 games to pay the 4 points back.
The players I'll likely bring in:
FWDs:
Kylian Mbappé (11.7m)
Vinicius Júnior (11.1m)
Ousmane Dembélé (8m)
MDs:
Vitinha (6.1m)
Federico Valverde (7.5m)
DF:
Achraf Hakimi (6.1m)
All players I will bring in belong to PSG or Real. I will have 8 players for the 1st legs.
