Player Picks

I’ll go through a couple differentials and also some must own players.

DIFFERENTIALS:

Sarabia
While not playing all the time for PSG, he can be incredibly effective when he does. Luckily we get team news and he may get a starting spot due to Mbappe-

injury. Priced at 6.9 in the midfield, and only owned by 1% of players, he is an extreme differential. He has 2 goals and 2 assists in the CL in 343 minutes, about 1 return every 85 minutes. In his past 4 starts he has gained 26 points. He is a great way to boost your rank!

Pasalic/Zapata
@TheFPLManual explained the Atalanta attack very nicely so I decided to put it in the thread-

“Atalanta have scored 98 goals in Serie A only and 16 goals in Champs with an average of 2.6 & 2.0 goal per game.. For me, I need 2 attackers from there. It would-

be a miracle if PSG do not concede”

Zapata and Pasalic both have good stats themselves. Zapata of the few games he has been eligible to play has started 2 and within those games gotten one goal. That may deter you a bit but he has done well in Serie A. He has gotten 18 goals-

and 6 assists this season showing he can be a prime striker and great pick for #UCLfantasy. Pasalic in the midfield has 2 goals and 2 assists along with 29 BR. This leads him to 38 points total. He also has 1.8 SPG and 1.6 keyP. Both of these players are under 3% owned.

Thomas
Many won’t look at Thomas as an option due to his low attacking returns. He has 1 goal and 1 assist in the CL this season. Yet his style of play is favored by CL fantasy as he has 43 points. This is from 60 balls recovered which games him 18 points. 4 CS also get him-

4 points along with the attacking returns. This makes him an even better Tousart averaging 5.4 PPG. So if you want to play it save and take a steady 5 or 6 points, go with this Athletico player at 6% ownership. If you are lucky, he might even get an attacking return!

MUST-HAVES:

Sterling

Sterling since the restart has had 9 goals in the Prem since. He has also shown to be explosive in UCL scoring 4 in one MD! Overall he has 6 goals, 2 assists and 2 pens earned leaving him at a whopping 56 points. Raheem averages 2.6 SPG and 1.6 KeyP-

per game. This fixture is another reason to get him in your squad. City have 20 goals in 8 matches for CL- thats 2.5 GPM. Lyon aren’t great defensively either conceding 10 in 8 for CL. Put all this together and Sterling could bang this round, or be good for future ones.

Lewa
I don’t think there needs to be that much said about Lewandowski, this man is just incredible . Even if it’s against Barcelona, he is bound to score this week or if they advance the next. He has 13 goals, 1 assist and 1 penalty earned in just 7 games for #UCL .

That’s a return every 34 minutes! 5 of those 7 games ended with Lewa scoring 11 points or more. This all ends tally’s you to a total of 83 points- incredible! These attacking returns can all be attributed to his 5.6 SpG and 2.3 keyP. He is the definition of essential!

Neymar
Neymar will be a lead striker in the Atalanta match, entering it with a lot of potential. In his last 3 matches for #UCL he has scored 3 goals and 2 assists. In total that’s 23 points or 7.7 per game. What makes him more enticing, is Atalanta’s defensive record.

Atalanta has conceded 17 goals this CL season. That’s 3.4 per game on average. PSG can also score goals. 20 from 8 in the Champions League which converts to 2.6 per game. These goals come from 11.6 SpG. All of this means a high scoring game where Neymar can thrive.
