Last week was called, by some, the best UCL football in over a decade. That sounds promising, but you’ll need the right kind of players to tackle this week’s events. This is a list of the players that, I think, will push you toward the top.
These Are the Players You Need for the Champions League Fantasy Football Semifinals Second Leg
Arsenal vs. Atletico Madrid
Whatever you’ve heard about Arsenal, forget it! The Gunners have become an efficient, winning machine. Its style is not made for entertainment, but earns results.
I see Raya as a possible goalie choice for your fantasy football team, maybe as a sub. Gabriel, Saliba, and White can earn a lot of points. Rice always is worth taking a risk on. Eze is an alright, but not spectacular choice.
Gyokeres has proven his worth recently. He’s an alright pick.
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid doesn’t have Arsenal’s squad depth. But Diego Simeone‘s boys have grit. I think they’ll deliver a good performance.
Now that Oblak is fit once again, he’s the best available goalkeeper at this stage of fantasy
I would take a chance on the defenders Hancko, Pubill, and Ruggeri. Llorente, Simeone and Cardoso work more than most. Alvarez can be the striker who makes the difference, but there’s a degree of risk.
Bayern Munchen vs. Paris-Saint Germain
Paris Saint-Germain put in a spectacular performance last week. Yes, it was nearly equalled by Bayern. Can the French side do it in front of the Bavarians’ excited fans?
PSG’s got an excellent squad. Start with midfielders Vitinha and Neves if you can afford them. Doue and Zairre-Emery are excellent picks, and they’re affordable.
Kvaratskhelia and Dembele are luxury picks, but this is the moment to get them. If you can only pick one, I’d choose Dembele for this one.
Mendes and Pacho are fine defensive picks. Marquinhos is always a leader, but doesn’t always earn a lot of points in fantasy football contests like this one.
Meanwhile, Bayern’s a strong, balanced squad that can always surprise PSG’s defenders if they’re not careful.
The Players You Should Avoid for the Semifinals Second Leg
Hincapie is set to start for Arsenal, but I think that there are better defensive opponents. The same for Zubimendi. Not convinced by Saka and Trossard either.
Griezmann and Lookman are also sensational players, but could be neutralised by Arsenal’s defenders.
Safonov is not the best goalkeeping choice in my humble opinion. Just check out his stats, or a replay of last week’s game. Ruiz is also a good midfielder, but he’s had recent injuries, so you don’t know if he’ll play the full 90 minutes, or even start as the previews suggest he will.
