If I could summarize matchday 1 then it would be Goals! Goals! Goals! We saw some high scoring games and some evenly matched ones which were determined by a goal or two. Now UCL Fantasy is back for Matchday 2 and it promises some breathtaking action again as we start the week with Lokomotiv Moscow against defending champions Bayern Munich. Here are our rankings:
Forwards
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Robert Lewandowski | Bayern Munich | @Lokomotiv Moscow | 12M | He is one of the most inform players in the world right now and scored his second hattrick of the season against Frankfurt last week. |
| 2 | Neymar | PSG | @Istanbul Başakşehir | 11.5M | |
| 3 | Erling Braut Håland | BVB | Vs Zenit | 11M | Håland has scored in his last five games across all competitions for Dortmund and I fancy him to continue the streak against Zenit. |
| 4 | Kylian Mbappe | PSG | @Istanbul Başakşehir | 11M | |
| 5 | Romelu Lukaku | Inter Milan | @Shakhtar Donetsk | 11M | Lukaku was a dominant force in the Europa league finishing as the MVP and scored 2 goals and assisted 1 when these two teams met in the Europa League last season. |
| 6 | Ciro Immobile | Lazio | @Club Brugge | 10.5M | |
| 7 | Alvaro Morata | Juventus | Vs FC Barcelona | 9M | He has really stepped up in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo scoring/assisting in each of his last 3. |
| 8 | Lionel Messi | Barcelona | @Juventus | 12M | |
| 9 | Roberto Firmino | Liverpool | Vs Midtjylland | 9M | Firmino might not be the biggest goal scorer there is but Midtjylland is one of the weaker teams in the competition and should present lots of opportunities for the only Liverpool forward in the game. |
| 10 | Luis Suarez | Atletico Madrid | Vs RB Salzburg | 10M |
Midfielders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mohamed Salah | Liverpool | Vs Midtjylland | 12M | As good as Salah is, he is an even more dominant force at home. Playing Midtjylland should be a dream fixture for any forward. |
| 2 | Leroy Sane | Bayern Munich | @Lokomotiv Moscow | 9.5M | Sane looked like the most dangerous player for Bayern before an injury brought him to a hault. Expect Bayern to be even more dominant now. |
| 3 | Angel Di Maria | PSG | @Istanbul Başakşehir | 9M | |
| 4 | Kevin De Bruyne | Manchester City | @Marseille | 11.5M | |
| 5 | Diogo Jota | Liverpool | Vs Midtjylland | 7.5M | He has shown bright glimpses everytime he got an opportunity and this week he might get his first start in UCL. |
| 6 | Marco Reus | Borussia Dortmund | Vs Zenit | 8.5M | |
| 7 | Dejan Kulusevski | Juventus | Vs FC Barcelona | 8M | |
| 8 | Marcus Rashford | Manchester United | Vs RB Leipzig | 9M | |
| 9 | Christian Pulisic | Chelsea | @Krasnodar | 9M | |
| 10 | Tetê | Shahktar Donestsk | Vs Inter Milan | 5M | Tetê was impressive in the upset win against Real Madrid and might be quite a bargain at 5M. |
Defenders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Andrew Robertson | Liverpool | Vs Midtjylland | 6.5M | The most targetable fixture of the week and his form puts him ahead of his teammate TAA. |
| 2 | Joshua Kimmich | Bayern Munich | @Lokomotiv Moscow | 6.5M | He might be playing OOP as a defensive midfielder but is still involved in goals for the team. |
| 3 | Joe Gomez | Liverpool | Vs Midtjylland | 5.5M | Gomez was one of the surprises for matchday 1 getting 5 points for 16 ball recoveries. |
| 4 | Alessandro Florenzi | PSG | @Istanbul Başakşehir | 5M | |
| 5 | Joao Cancelo | Manchester City | @Marseille | 5.5M | |
| 6 | Trent Alexander Arnold | Liverpool | Vs Midtjylland | 6.5M | |
| 7 | Achraf Hakimi | Inter Milan | @Shakhtar Donetsk | 6M | Hakimi returns to the team after a supposed false alarm of him testing positive. He will be a big threat for Shakhtar on the wings. |
| 8 | Thomas Meunier | Borussia Dortmund | Vs Zenit | 5M | He matched Hummels for ball recoveries and is also more involved in the offense. Meunier is middle ground between Hummels and Guerreiro. |
| 9 | Reece James | Chelsea | @Krasnodar | 5M | |
| 10 | Diego Carlos | Sevilla | Vs Rennes | 5M |
Goalkeepers
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alisson Becker | Liverpool | Vs Midtjylland | 6M | Alisson is set to replace Adrian making the defense more reliable and I don't have to explain how. |
| 2 | Manuel Neuer | Bayern Munich | @Lokomotiv Moscow | 6M | Bayern are expected to dominate this game so there won't be much saves if any but there is a good chance for a cleansheet. |
| 3 | Keylor Navas | PSG | @Istanbul Başakşehir | 5.5M | |
| 4 | Ederson | Manchester City | @Marseille | 6M | |
| 5 | Edouard Mendy | Chelsea | @Krasnodar | 5M |
