Matchday 2 of UCL had it’s surprise results but as we are on the verge of beginning with the next matchday, we keep getting more surprises in terms of players being ruled out due to illness. First, it was Dynamo Kyiv and then Ajax. So there might be more surprise results in store this week. Here are our UCL Fantasy Player Rankings for the week:

UCL Fantasy Captain Picks: Matchday 3

Leave a comment

Last week was a good one for captains as the most popular picks at least got a goal or an assist. But this week we look at some big names and some gems who could go big and give you big returns for your captain’s armband. These are our UCL Fantasy Captain Picks for matchday 3:

UCL Fantasy Captains for Matchday 3

 

Robert Lewandowski Vs RB Salzburg (A)

It is rare for him to not score in a game let alone go through a goal drought in UCL. Now It’s only time before he scores because he is in the form of his life in the Bundesliga. Scoring 10 goals in 5 games with 2 hattricks while being the quickest to do so. He is also tied second for assists with 3. This week he goes up against RB Salzburg who play attacking football and always leave some opportunities for the opponents on the other end of the pitch. He was rested for the game against Koln over the weekend and while that might’ve been bad news for my Bundesliga Fantasy team, he should be roaring to go in this game and will be a popular captain pick this week.

 

Cristiano Ronaldo Vs Ferencvárosi TC (A)

The top goal scorer in UCL history, he will be making his much-awaited season debut in the tournament this week against Hungarian side Ferencvárosi. They have conceded the most goals over 2 games with 7 goals. Ronaldo showed the team what they were missing by scoring 2 goals off the bench in the victory against Spezia over the weekend. He will be the most important player on the team now and they should cruise through easily this week while scoring a few goals.

 

Lionel Messi Vs Dynamo Kyiv (H)

The man who is trailing Ronaldo for most goals in the champions league at 2nd, he has made a good start to the tournament scoring 2 goals and assisting 1 in 2 games while being one of the top scorers in fantasy. Dynamo travels to Barcelona with a short-handed team with as many as 4 or more absentees in the team that drew against Ferencvárosi last week. Most of them being key players in defence. This game is set up to be a good one for Barcelona and Messi.

 

Differential Captains

 

Joao Felix Vs Lokomotiv Moscow (A)

Many people have questioned the golden boy’s performances in relation to his price tag but he is proving them wrong with his recent performances. He is one of the most dangerous players in the team and is enjoying a good run of form where he has scored 4 goals in 2 games. Lokomotiv is a good game to keep that run going.

 

Lassina Traore Vs Midtjylland (A)

He has been in the spotlight ever since his 5 goal and 3 assist antics against VVV and scored a goal and won a penalty in the last UCL game against Atalanta. Midtjylland is a good game to guarantee your team some fantasy points and Traore could go big against them. It gets even better when these teams meet again in the next matchday. He is definitely one to watch.

 

Note: A Covid outbreak has been declared in Ajax but Traore wasn’t affected so he travels to Denmark.

Bundesliga Fantasy Player Rankings: Matchday 6

Leave a comment

Last week was great for the big 4 with all of them registering wins but they didn’t share the same fate in the champions league with Bayern Munich and Dortmund edging late wins, Borussia failing to protect another lead and RB Leipzig being thumped by 5 goals. As Matchday 6 edges closer, we look at the Bundesliga Fantasy Player Rankings for this week:

1Robert LewandowskiFCB@KOE19.6MPlaying against Koln must be something to look forward to for Lewandowski as he has scored in each of his last 4 games against them. Which totals to 5 goals.

3Thomas MullerFCB@KOE17.7MIf you love the option of a double up then Muller boasts a great record against Koln as well registering 5 assists in his last 3 games against them.
4Saša KalajdžićVFB@S045MAn early game against one of the worst defenses in Schalke and only 5M is almost too good to be through. If stats is your thing then he has scored 3 goals and assisted 1 so far.
5Andre SilvaSGEVs SVW15.1MSilva has scored in all three of his games against Bremen
6Serge GnabryFCB@KOE17.3MGnabry could be an interesting play on the wing in what has generally been a high scoring fixture.

2Daichi KamadaSGEVs SVW12.2MPlaying Bayern away is as tough as it gets but a game against Bremen is a good chance to make a comeback. Especially considering that they've been dominated in terms of possession and shots by almost every team.
3Jadon SanchoBVB@DSC17.6M
4Joshua KimmichFCB@KOE16.7MHe is in a good run of form and he has historically been good against Koln. A game that Bayern always dominate.

Bundesliga Fantasy Differential Picks: Matchday 6

Leave a comment

Bundesliga Matchday 5 was a good week with most of the template players doing well but the real money was in the differentials such as Nkunku, Sarr, Alario, Mateta and Arnold who ended being some of the top scorers of the week. We look to find some hidden gems again as matchday 6 edges closer. Here are our differentials for the week:

Forwards

 

Florian Niederlechner: He has been overlooked this season and its not surprising considering he has registered no goals and one assist in five games. However, Mainz looks like a punching bag for forwards right now conceding 12 goals over their last four and Niederlechner boasts a good record against them. He has scored 2 goals and assisted one in his last two games against them.

Wout Weghorst: Wolfsburg had been in deep slumber offensively failing to win and only drawing every game while struggling to score over 1 goal. The win against Arminia Bielefeld should give them confidence against Hertha who have been worse defensively. Weghorst has scored in his last two games and a matchup against a team that struggles to defend set-pieces is a good matchup.

Midfielders

 

Daniel Caligiuri: Augsburg have begun the season with some tough games but it eases a bit as they play Mainz and Hertha (2nd and 3rd most goals conceded) back-to-back. Caligiuri is easily the best midfielder to get from the team as he is very attacking and is also on set-pieces.

Defenders

 

Bouna Sarr: Bouna registered an assist on his debut ending up with 18 points and is the cheapest entry into the Bayern defence currently at 9.3M. He offers much more than Pavard and at about 5M less.

Iago: If you feel like Augsburg players are worth the investment then Iago is the defender to get.

Goalkeeper

 

Frederik Rønnow: Yeah he plays for the worst defence in the league at Schalke but he is a gem at 1.8M registering 6 and 9 points for saved shots in his last two games. He is only a differential because he is owned by 5% or less but is actually a must-have. I expect him to save plenty of shots again against Stuttgart.

Differential XI MD6

UCL Fantasy Must-Have and Differentials From Each Team: Matchday 2

Leave a comment

UCL Fantasy is back for matchday 2 after some one-sided wins and some surprises such as Real Madrid, Dortmund and PSG losing in Matchday 1. This week kicks off with Lokomotiv Moscow against Bayern Munich on 27th October.
These are our must-have and differential picks from each team:

Lokomotiv Moscow Vs Bayern Munich

 

Lokomotiv Moscow:


Must-have/Differential: Anton Miranchuk (5M/0%/MID): Anton offers stability in the midfield and is on set-piece duties and penalties. While Bayern is certainly a tough match, playing at home might just give an edge if Bayern makes a dangerous foul.

 

Bayern Munich:

 

Must-have: Robert Lewandowski (12M/50%/FWD): Everything is clear when it comes to Lewy, 10 goals in 5 Bundesliga matches are very promising, it’s just a matter of time before he translates it to UCL too and this might just be the match.

Differential: Lucas Hernandez (5M/1%/DEF): With the absence of Davies due to his injury, Lucas should take his place at left-back and considering his price tag and a high clean sheet probability, he’s definitely a great asset for this matchday.

 

Shakhtar Donetsk Vs Inter Milan 

 

Shakhtar Donetsk:


Must-have: Tete (5M/4%/MID): After his eye-catching performance vs Real Madrid, Tete will surely be in many #UCLFantasy teams this week and rightfully so, despite the matchup vs Inter. The fast winger can both create and gets into many goalscoring chances so he might be a tasty option.

Differential: Manor Solomon (5.5M/1%/MID): The Israeli Shakhtar left-winger is another one of our differentials as he’s been involved in a goal every 141 minutes this season.

 

Inter Milan:

Must-have: Lukaku (11M/7%/FWD): The prominent Belgian striker has proven that he’s still got it this season netting 7 times in 6 matches combined in Serie A and Champions League. His fairly low ownership might be justified by his price, but it’s certainly a good time to check him out.

Differential: Barella (7M/1%/MID): Often involved in chances with a decent potential of ball recoveries, Barella offers both for an understandable price tag.

Olympique de Marseille Vs Manchester City

 

Olympique Marseille:

 

Must have/Differential: Mickael Cuisance (5.5M/0%/MID): At 0%, Cuisance is a really attractive option if he plays as a number 10 and given the low interest in Marseille players which is understandable given their opponents, he might give you an edge if things go Marseille’s way.

 

Manchester City:


Must have: Kevin De Bruyne (11.5M/3%/MID): De Bruyne is finally back and Guardiola can rest assured knowing KDB will do his best to continue his world-class form.

Differential: Ferran Torres (7.5M/0%/MID): Torres should start this weekend and given his previous form in the competition it would be hard to ignore his potential in this game.

Liverpool Vs FC Midtjylland 

 

Liverpool:


Must have: Andrew Robertson (6.5M/12%/DEF): Robertson is a well-known face in the competition and he’s facing one of the weakest teams in the competition, talk about an assist potential.
Differential: Diogo Jota (7.5M/1%/MID): Jota is set to get his first start as a Liverpool player and so far he made the most out of his Liverpool minutes.

 

FC Midtjylland:


Must have/Differential: Anders Dreyer (6M/0%/FWD): 3 goals and 2 assists in 5 Danish league appearances really make Dreyer a hot option against rotated Liverpool squad and he managed to notch 3 points despite his team losing in MD1.

Borussia Mönchengladbach Vs Real Madrid 

 

Borussia Mönchengladbach:


Must have/Differential: Jonas Hofmann (7M/0%/MID): Hofmann has been in hot form this season in both Bundesliga and Champions League and given the fact that he wasn’t starting in the weekend game against Mainz, he might offer freshness and continue his involvement streak.

 

Real Madrid:


Must have: Karim Benzema (10.5M/4%/FWD): Maybe he’s a bit boring as a pick but he has shown that the team just reaches the next level with him in the side.
Differential: Ferlan Mendy (5.5M/3%/DEF): The potent right-back has been nothing but solid for Real Madrid this season but due to the weak team performance vs Shakhtar he may be under the radar to most people, even though he played solid throughout the game.

Atletico Madrid Vs RB Salzburg 

 

Atletico Madrid:


Must have: Luis Suarez (10M/5%/FWD): The prominent Uruguay striker is slightly doubtful for the match but if he does start he’ll be one to watch.


Differential: Kieran Trippier (5M/4%/DEF): The Englishman is well acquainted with set pieces, what more could you want?

 

Red Bull Salzburg:


Must have: Zlatko Junuzovic (5.5M/3%/MID): Cheap and efficient in a team with attacking mindset.


Differential: Dominik Szoboszlai (7M/1%/MID): One of the best young playmakers in the game is determined to keep up with the good performances on the big stage.

Porto Vs Olympiacos

 

Porto:


Must have/Differential: Pepe (5M/1%/DEF): He might not have had a good game against City except the 3 points he won for ball recoveries but the next game against Olympiacos is a good one to turn it around considering that they struggled to create good chances and only edged Marseille by a goal in extra time.

 

Olympiacos:

Must have/Differential: Jose Sa (4.5M/5%/GK): He is a great budget in what is considered a good defensive team. Sa also kept a clean sheet against Marseille last week.

Atalanta Vs Ajax

 

Atalanta:


Must have: Alejandro Gomez (8.5M/16%/FWD): He offers great value if you want a player from one of the most dangerous attacking trios in the world.


Differential: Duvan Zapata (9.5M/4%/FWD): Zapata is the most consistent player for Atalanta and Ajax should have a hard time dealing with his physicality and sharpness.

 

Ajax:


Must have: Nicolas Tagliafico (5M/8%/DEF): He is the best defensive option from Ajax and occasionally chips in with a goal or assist.


Differential: Lassina Traore (5M/7%/FWD): Traore is coming off an incredible game where he scored 5 goals and assisted 3 in a thumping 0-13 win against VVV in the Eredivisie. His next game will be one to watch.

Krasnodar Vs Chelsea

Krasnodar:


Must have: Matvei Safonov (4.5M/0%/GK): Probably the best young Russian goalkeeper, an expert at shot-stopping and penalties could have many saves versus a potent Chelsea side.

 

Chelsea:

Differential: Reece James (5M/2%/DEF): He is placed in one of the easiest groups in the tournament and has a good clean sheet in almost every game. The next game against Krasnodar being one of them.

Istanbul Basaksehir Vs PSG

 

Istanbul Basaksehir:


Must have/Differential: Visca (7M/0%/MID): Right winger of Basaksehir has been named as the best player of the Turkish Superleague for 2 consecutive years now, understandable given his last season impact of 13 goals and 13 assists. Even though his team got dominated in the first match vs Leipzig he has shown that he has the quality and is the most likely player to score in this very hard group for his team.

 

Paris Saint-Germain:


Must have: Kylian Mbappe (11M/23%/FWD): Mbappe is the most dangerous player at PSG and forms a formidable duo with Neymar. He should have plenty of good opportunities to score against Istanbul.

Ferencvaros Vs Dynamo Kyiv

 

Ferencvaros:


Must have/Differential: Tokmac Nguen (6.5M/0%/MID): Nguen has been one of the best players for his team scoring 5 goals in 6 games in the league.

 

Dynamo Kyiv:


Must have/Differential: Gerson Rodrigues (4.5M/5%/FWD): One of the cheapest forwards in the game, if you expect Kyiv to score some goals against a team that conceded 5 last week then you can expect Gerson to be involved.

Juventus Vs FC Barcelona 

 

Juventus:


Must have/Differential: Dejan Kulusevski (8M/1%/MID): Kulusevski has been a real find for Juventus and now he goes up against a Barcelona side that has struggled defensively in recent times.

 

Barcelona:


Must have: Ansu Fati (8M/33%/MID): Fati is one of the most talented youngsters in the world breaking goal scoring records such as being the youngest goalscorer in UCL history last week. Juventus should be a good challenge for him.

Club Brugge Vs Lazio

 

Club Brugge:


Must have: Charles De Ketelaere (4.5M/MID/6M): De Ketelaere put on an impressive show against Zenit, eventually scoring the winning goal. Now he plays Lazio that have a possible covid outbreak at the club so there could be heavy rotation.

 

Lazio:


Must have/Differential: Ciro Immobile (10.5M/2%/FWD):He is simply the most lethal force in the team and also chipped in with a goal and assist in his last game against former team Borussia Dortmund.

Manchester United Vs RB Leipzig

 

Manchester United:


Must have: Marcus Rashford (9M/3%/MID): I prefer him over his teammate Bruno Fernandes because he is more likely to score from open play. Which I prefer rather than expecting returns from penalties most the times.

 

RB Leipzig:


Must have: Angelino (5M/16%/DEF): He has found his shooting boots being one of the top goal scorers while playing as left-back in a very strong defensive team.

Dortmund Vs Zenit 

 

Borussia Dortmund:


Must have: Erling Haaland (11M/37%/FWD): Haaland is as consistent as it gets. He has scored in his last 6 games and he could easily make it 7 against Zenit.

 

Zenit St. Petersburg:


Must have: William Barrios (4.5M/47%/MID): He will be a gem of a player at 4.5M if he keeps getting ball recovery points as he did last week.

Sevilla Vs Rennes (Wednesday 28th October 8:00 PM GMT)

 

Sevilla:


Must have/Differential: Diego Carlos (5M/3%/DEF): Sevilla might not be one of the strongest teams offensively but they got a good defence and even managed to shut down Chelsea away last week.

 

Rennes:


Differential: Sehrou Guirassy (6.5M/1%/FWD): He is a good differential option at 6.5M.
