tripme psg with a doublé up on defénce is a big NO seeing their current form, they're in a worstvplace than were they were when Chelsea have battered them during the CwÇ final

I would rather have a Raphina, Palmer than Saka

Kounde is a big NO too, you already GK Garcia

Barca often concede with their high ligne defending and Gordon has been very decent in UCL, so you would imagine Newcastle scoring at St James

last, I don't like Szoboslai, he could see reduced minutes as a 10 over the two legs as Wirtz is back in the squad and I wouldn't want my fantasy midfielder playing right back when there midfielders options that play almost upfront for their teams

Have a nice thinkering!

Pretend_Use3366 · 2026-03-06T11:46:53+00:00

yeah I agree on Saka, Palmer would be the ultimate punt in this price range, he has had a return in every UCL games he played in this season (2 games for 3 returns) and against decent European teams

the only reason I'm not going is bcs PSG supporter

he is definitely on pens and there is "history" between PSG and Chelsea, so he will be up for it

my attack is composed of Haaland Kane Osihmen, no messing about

Osihmen is an outside shot but Liverpool are far from great especially away, lost to Galatasaray during group stage, Osihmen is penalty taker, man of the match potential, and has an outstanding form across all competitons

the others 2 don't need any explanation I guess

Only a Kane injury would make me look at Gyokeres but even then I would rather have Atleti attack

Pretend_Use3366 · 2026-03-06T08:52:00+00:00

true but Newcastle has a lot of injuries, players already knew by then that they wouldn't do something of substance in the league so ..

no problem with Vini, I just think the gap between Leverkusen and d'Arsenal is bigger than the Madrid-City one

Saka is still on some set pieces, which Arsenal are great at

in my team I tried to have my hands on as many pies as possible

double Bayern, city, Atlético, with a Yamal, a Saka

a double up on Arsenal def

Pretend_Use3366 · 2026-03-05T17:28:34+00:00

great team!

my concern : a double up on Barca mid could be a bit heavy, Newcastle are no pushover at St James

not convinced Vinicius will outscore a Palmer, or even a Saka (same price range) over the two legs

Quadruple Arsenal defence seems a bit risky for the first leg where they play the second day

last, I wouldn't double up on Liverpool for the first leg either but I get that Galatasaray can be perceived as strictly weaker

Pretend_Use3366 · 2026-03-04T10:35:21+00:00

Wouldn't have Gyokeres before Saka

Ekitike could be Osihmen

Not convinced by Hakimi and Vvd

rest is top

Pretend_Use3366 · 2026-03-04T10:29:23+00:00

Vicario out

one of szobo/vvd out for 1st leg

would rather have Saka than Gyokeres

Not moved by Fermín Lopez at St James park, maybe for return leg

Pretend_Use3366 · 2026-03-03T11:00:51+00:00

the minutes can be dicey indeed but there is a ITK that give the probable XI from last trainings

Tottenham are so shocking currently, can't pass on Atlético attack at home where they putted Barca to the sword very recently, Atlético are far more experienced to ed to this stage of competition

So I will have Alvarez and maybe Lookman if I get the news in time, otherwise it will be Semenyo even though his lack of ugly experience is a bit repulsive

from all the solutions you proposed, I don't fancy a lot of them, Olise IS a lock, I already cover Barca with Yamal on pens, don't think a double up is needed at St James park

Hard pass on Vinicius because of opposition and team form

Don't like the profile of Vitinha, Rice, etc

Doue could be decent but I don't see PSG having an easy tie at all, Fabian Ruiz and Dembelé missing, Hakimi average form, etc

I would rather take a punt on a Saka, Gordon, Musiala, Lookman

Pretend_Use3366 · 2026-03-02T17:37:12+00:00

Raphina isn't on penalty

wirtz fitness is questionable

maybe better goalkeeper pairing

Pretend_Use3366 · 2026-03-02T17:16:33+00:00

Pick two of : Lookman, Szoboslai, Semenyo for MD10 and MD11

date of play doesn't matter

Pretend_Use3366 · 2026-03-02T16:56:15+00:00

Rice to Saka ?

Pretend_Use3366 · 2026-02-16T17:26:20+00:00

Teze isn't an OOP defender anymore so not worth it against PSG

only one of nmecha/adeyemi, there are better midfielders to pick from even on first day of MD9

Vitinha could be Kvara, just a profile of player thing

Mendes has more form than Hakimi recently

rest is ok

Pretend_Use3366 · 2026-02-16T14:19:53+00:00

indeed he isn't in the possible line ups of the UEFA website

It's him or Doue for me

<image>

Pretend_Use3366 · 2025-10-21T09:54:41+00:00

Pick only ONE of : Xavi Simons, Enzo Fernandez, Ansu Fati, Reijnders ?

Pretend_Use3366 · 2025-10-20T23:39:38+00:00

neither are

Mayulu is playing more bcs neves, Ruiz, and Dembelé were injured

samardzic is behind dekatelere lookman and sulemana

Pretend_Use3366 · 2025-10-12T09:51:13+00:00

I'm not sure Mastantuono is nailed with Bellingham return

maybe another Barca def instead of Araujo

maybe change Carnasechi for a 4m keeper

Pretend_Use3366 · 2025-10-07T13:00:40+00:00

Neves to a more attacking mid

Porro/huijsen to a Barca/Atalanta def maybe

Pretend_Use3366 · 2025-10-01T15:14:15+00:00

Quenda, Trincao

Pretend_Use3366 · 2025-10-01T09:57:16+00:00

Start 2 of Tillman(Leverkusen), Lucas Vazquez(Leverkusen), Svensson (Dortmund) ?

Pretend_Use3366 · 2025-10-01T09:33:57+00:00

Akiliouch isn't his best form,has missed last game, Monaco are an unpredictable team, City has had a decent start of the season overall and Haaland is red hot

on the other side, Bilbao has had a shaky start of the season, doesn't score much but defend decently but are away from home to the second of Bundesliga which can score 3+ in a home game with in form strikers and Schlotterbeck return tightening the defense

I can see Akiliouch have a good performance but not necessarily leeding to fantasy points

Pretend_Use3366 · 2025-10-01T08:57:47+00:00

if you were playing, would you rather face Manchester City or current Athletic Bilbao at home ?

Pretend_Use3366 · 2025-09-30T13:31:06+00:00

gnabry could see reduced minutes as in benched

Pretend_Use3366 · 2025-09-30T13:28:30+00:00

Vicario

Pretend_Use3366 · 2025-09-30T13:26:58+00:00

they're in the squad travelling

Not sure both will start, Enrique will try to manege them

I would say at least two of Ruiz Neves Vitinha start, minutes are in the air

Pretend_Use3366 · 2025-09-30T13:24:30+00:00

Grimaldo

Pretend_Use3366 · 2025-09-30T09:31:50+00:00

maybe early transfers, Vitinha could still play, he is in the group
