Heading into the quarter finals, there will only be 8 teams. Leaving this stage there will be 4. And we are only given 5 free transfers for the semis meaning we need to think ahead. Strategically, you want to back the teams that are more likely to go forward

This will leave you more room for transfers in the semis since a lot of your players will still be in the tourney. Personally I am backing teams like City and PSG. Both of these title contending teams have the ability to get through, so I have 4 players each-8 in my early drafts.

That leaves 7 players left for other teams and differentials, greatly reducing my chances of having players being knocked out and increasing my rank.

Stats for UCLhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten">

City:
GF: 20
GA: 6 (most in a match was 1)
Possession%: 58.6
CS%:24

Lyon:
GF:11
GA:9
Possession%:49.3
CS%: 25

PSG:
GF:20
GA:3
Possession%:53
CS%:75

Atalanta:
GF:16
GA:16
Possession%:49.6
CS%:25%

You can decide on this but the stats favor City and PSG to win. So i would stack up in players from those teams. According to 538, City has a 89% chance to make it to the Semis and PSG a 63%.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="2️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 2" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 2"> With a majority of your team filled up with these two teams, you can start to add some differentials and players who aren’t well owned. Soon there will be less options to vary from other managers which means your rank gets more locked in. So get those differentials now!

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="3️⃣" title="Tastenkappe Ziffer 3" aria-label="Emoji: Tastenkappe Ziffer 3"> This strategy or tip involves when the games are played and substitutions. You really want to get differentials and experiment more with less owned players on the Wednesday games. If they do poorly, you can just sub them out and put in stronger and more valuable players-

from the bench that play the next day. For example, I have the likes of Sarabia in my drafts who isn’t highly owned along with double Leipzig defense and one Atletico defender- all risky options. If they blank I can just sub them out for Lewa or Sterling who play the next day.

The main point I’m trying to get across here is that differentials and experimentation are for the first MD which can majorly boost your rank while the heavy and well owned hitters should be played on Wednesday since you have less room for error then and can not sub out blanks.

If you made it this far please RT and I hope you enjoyed https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♻️" title="Universelles Recycling-Symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Universelles Recycling-Symbol">
