Are These the Players You Need for Champions League Fantasy Football for Round 3?
Barcelona is an unpredictable team of late. Still, Hansi Flick’s team should make the best of its opportunity of getting three points against Olympiacos. Rashford and Yamal will get chances to shine here. The midfield line of De Jong, Garcia, and Casado is always reccomended for the kinds of ties.
Never been particularly impressed with Bayer Leverkusen over the previous few years. Luckily for them, Paris Saint-Germain isn’t exactly at the peak of its ability at the moment. However, Champions League champ sounds, rightfully, more impressive than the previous Deutscher Meister.
If you can afford it, pick Kvaratskhelia and Hakimi. Keep an eye for Pacho. If he’s playing, he should make a great addition to the team.
Players like Tonali and Guimaraes should see plenty of the ball as Newcastle takes on Benfica. Meanwhile, Otamendi is still a tough defender and the Portugal team’s goalie Trubin will have plenty of work to do here.
Napoli might not bounce back from the defeat suffered against Torino as quickly as Antonio Conte might wish. This will give PSV’s attackers, Man, Til and Perisic a nice opportunity to score.
And, Internazionale could extend its wun against Swiss side Union SG. Martinez, Frattesi and Calhanoglu are good picks. But, Bisseck and Dumfries could really end up being your fantasy football team’s stars.
Should You Avoid These UCL Players in Round 3?
Mounrinho’s Benfica will likely try to see out a 0-0 draw against Newcastle. That might make Woltemade and Gordon a little ineffective. You need to decide if this is a risk worth taking.
Barca’s still dealing with plenty of injuries. Olmo, Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Torres are unlikely to be ready to return against Olympiacos.
Chelsea’s Palmer is still a no-go as far as fantasy football selections are concerned. So is Biadiashile.
Meanwhile, will have to do it all without Thuram, Juventus can’t depend on Gonzalez and Bremer, while Lobotka and Rrahmani might not be ready to return for Napoli.
