Best Picks for Champions League Fantasy Football
Vitinha (Paris Saint-Germain)
Vitinha is the player who makes Paris Saint-Germain tick. A good performance from him against Arsenal, almost surely, translates into a strong performance by the team. With superb stats related to passing and tackles this season, Vitinha is a player that you’ll want on your fantasy football team.
Declan Rice (Arsenal)
It was Declan Rice’s free-kick brace that, essentially, secured Arsenal’s qualification against the mighty Paris Saint-Germain. And, indeed, the England international has justified the exorbitant transfer fee which brought him to Stamford Bridge in the first place. Ideal choice for your fantasy football midfield!
David Raya (Arsenal)
David Raya is not the most talked-about goalkeeper. There aren’t many singing his praises. And you hardly hear transfer gossip surrounding him.
But Raya has been sensational in this Champions League campaign. Expect to see Arsenal’s #1 put in another strong performance against the attack-minded PSG.
Raphinha (FC Barcelona)
There have been moments of magic that Raphinha has produced this season. Yet, the Brazilian still has his doubters. Scoring against the Premier League vice-champions to get them into the Champions League can mean changing the opinion of the doubters once and for all. The striker will be extra-motivated for this one.
Nicolo Barella (Inter Milan)
Nicolo Barella is an exceptional midfielder. A team leader with exceptional ambition and tactical acumen, Barella’s been at the heart of Inter’s continued success in recent years.
Internazionale’s performances have indeed trailed off in recent weeks. But Barella is the player who sparks a revival.
Achraf Hakimi (Paris Saint-Germain)
Many expect Paris Saint-Germain to be the team that attacks from the opening minutes of the first leg against Arsenal. Luis Enrique will, most likely, try to exploit the space that Arsenal players tend to leave out on the flanks. If that will be part of the team’s offensive strategy than Achraf Hakimi, arguably the best attacking wing-back in football, will play an important role.
Jurrien Timber (Arsenal)
Jurrien Timber is part of Mikel Arteta’s clear vision of change for Arsenal. And since the team has, for the moment, not been able to secure a Premier League trophy, perhaps the players will just need to console themselves with the Champions League trophy instead.
Timber will be in the action against PSG. There are those who believe he’ll be outmatched by the Parisians’ attacking flair. But I am not one of those. Get Timber on your fantasy UCL team.
Ousmane Dembele (Paris Saint-Germain)
There was always a feeling that Ousmane Dembele has always possessed the ability to be the best player in the world. There’s also been the nagging sensation that he hasn’t quite fretted too much about it.
This has been the French winger’s best campaign. He’s scored vital and, sometimes, near-impossible goals. With a focused and fit Demebele, PSG is a team that will be hard to beat. Get him on your team!
Lamine Yamal (FC Barcelona)
Possibly the most talented player to score Champions League goals since Lionel Messi’s best playing days, Yamal is a phenomenon. It feels like the only thing missing in the player’s young career is a continental trophy. And, frankly, it feels like under Hansi Flick’s guidance, this is an achievable task.
