Defending Ligue 1 champions but now just a shadow of themselves with key departures and injuries. Renato Sanches' long term injury certainly didn't help, as were the transfers of Maignan to Milan and Soumare to Leicester. But the worst one is Galtier to Nice.
He is truly the mastermind behind their title-winning campaign. LOSC had a very stout defense under him and now Nice haven't conceded a goal yet in 4 games under him. His successor, Gourvennec, last oversaw Guingamp to Ligue 1 relegation in 18/19 and now Lille are leaking goals.
A bit unlucky to lose Lewa in the QF last year, still one of the heavier favorites for the CL title. Lead Bundesliga in xG and xGC despite having already played Gladbach and Leipzig away.
New Trainer Nagelsmann is as good as advertised. I personally thought he'd implement a 3atb but so far it's been the same old 4231. With Upamecano on board and a stronger emphasis on controlling transitions, Bayern have been a bit more solid in defense thus far.
Top 2 teams in the competition, so their assets are priced as such. They also play Atleti the first game so I am tempted to avoid in the first Matchday.
Bayern though have an incredible attack. Lewandowski (12m) is on pens and sneakily gets assists, Muller (10m) is so good and his place is so secure, Gnabry (10m) a shout for a hattrick every game. Sane (9.5m) same thing but he will have a shorter leash than others.
