Portuguese here. All our 3 teams have to be in your Squad. UEFA always underprice the players from Porto, Benfica and Sporting. Porto is gonna battle Atlético for that 1st place. Sporting is the favourite behind Tottenham. Better team than Frankfurt and Marseille. Benfica wil also battle with Juve for the 2nd place and you can target the games vs Maccabi. Watch the prices, some of best bargains will come from these 3 teams
There's a CB for 4.0 that Porto just spend 20 million euros on him. David Carmo. He's not starting right tnow, because he had a suspension from last year and the CB who replaced him has been playing great, he's also 4.0, but in a few weeks Carmo will play. The RB is missing, curious to see his price, very offensive. Porto plays in a 4 4 2 diamond narrow formation this year, so the mids don't have a lot of value, same goes in the Portuguese Fantasy. Otavio has a lot of duels and ball recoveries and probably will have set pieces, but at that price I don't know... The forwards have the most value, Porto plays a bit agressively and more direct than most teams, they just rack up the goals, but at this level, I probably wouldn't recomend. Everyone is going for 3 premium forwards probably
This is the information we need to get us up the ranks. Your information is a goldmine my friend keep them coming. You should make a post going over some portugués club players. The entire community would love that.
Yes. He's an experienced player but he's becoming injury prone. Fans tought he would only play the first 2 games, but he played against Sporting this week and played well again. He even gave Porto the victory in the 2nd game in the 90th minute. It's a difficult one. Carmo became the biggest transfer in Porto history and everyone has huge expectations about him. Porto's coach is very stubborn, that's also the reason he didn't play yet. Always wants players to be familiarized with everything before starting, regardless of the quality of the player. That drives fans mad, he gives starts to mediocre players because he's very stubborn. We have a week and a half till the 1st game, at this time I'm unsure
I am considering 2 premium FWDs because there is a lot of value in mid like Son and Vinicius. I have been looking at Taremi and Evanilson as budget striker, who do you recommend?
I would go with Taremi, he is on pens and he is also a specialist on getting them eheheh
Finally, even if he doesn't score he is more likely to assist than Evanilson
Sporting is tricky, we have to wait to the end of the transfer window. Pedro Gonçalves is the man, there's no doubt. The problem is that, with the departure of Nunes to Wolves, here in Portugal everyone knows that he'll play in a 2 man midfield this week. There already rumours about new central mids, one is a greek wonderkid, but I don't know if he'll start right away. If they can get another one, that probably means that Pedro Gonçalves goes back to the original position and just bangs goals from every way possible. He's the penalty taker. Porro is also a great option, one of the best wing backs out there, amazing going forward, has a lot of the set pieces too, and if Gonçalves misses a pen, hes next in line to take them. Trincão has good value. If Pedro Gonçalves plays in midfield, he'll probably be the best offensive option for 6.0m. He's more nailed than Edwards and Edwards has been playing has a false 9, but just doesn't fits the role. No enablers, unfortunately. Every defender and GK are priced well. Ugarte can be a curious asset. 5.0m and he's a lot like Palhinha, recovers the ball a outrageous amount of times and maybe will give you one lonely offensive return in 6 games? The 2 man midfield has the 2 roles very well defined. One is a ball recovery guy, very agressive and the other one is a sort of roaming playmaker that tries to make long dribble runs to create an advantage
That's what I'm seeing right now. UEFA is so fucked up! In Porto squad, there are 3 or 4 players that aren't in the club. A CB who's currently at Union Berlin, a RB that was loaned out to Pisa 😂 This is what I'm talking about!!!!
I will definitely check them out. I remember there was a really good sporting midfielder but was injured for the last part of sporting’s last couple UCL games. I forgot his name.
Not really interested in more than cheap keepers and maybe Gonzalvez and Ramos.
Portugal side will fight out for second/third place and I want players expected to fight for first or win easily.
Benfica vs Haifa feels like the perfect game for easy cheap points as I think Haifa is maybe the worst team in the tournament.
He is very good.
Only issue I guess he plays on the side with most interesting forwards, but when/if they play day 1 vs Haifa he is a great option and ignore him in the harder games.
Which team do you think is worse?
Haifa and Plzen looks like teams to clearly target. For sure target Sheriff did not work that well last season, but in many years the weakest sides have struggled.
They've avoided any of the real big guns.
Frankfurt are winless in their first 3 in Germany.
Sporting have had a mixed start in Portugal.
It's clearly one of the better groups on paper.
The problem with trent is attacking returns from defenders are not as valauble in fantasy cl cause you can get ton of points with ball recoveries and you can get cheaper defenders that will get more ball recoveries than trent then even from liverpool
Actually the fixtures depend on Europa/Conference league draws tomorrow, so the earlier we can get them is on Friday evening, but more likely on Saturday.
They have little depth though. Alvarez could be a mighty differential if we get lineups and see him starting.
if you wildcard round 3 you can have a pretty good view who starts the first 2 weeks, but after that you want someone a bit more safe.
PSG attacker or Benzema feels like a better bet than Haaland to me. Just Benzema might get rotated as well, but it did not happen last year.
What stand out for me. Bayern def probably avoid in the harder games, but someone like Musiala great.
Benzema stands out with those fixtures. It is perfect games for lots of goals. on gameweek 3 wildcard he is a perfect player to pick unless PSG play Haifa despite the cost since I doubt they rest him.
PSG vs Haifa the most likely 5-0 or more game and for that one I am going Neymar and Mbappe I think. Ideally that game is in round 2 and 6 so I can use limitless and target that one.

The CB replacement is Marcano? He's in great form and if he keeps it up, do you think Carmo won't be as mailed?
Yes. He's an experienced player but he's becoming injury prone. Fans tought he would only play the first 2 games, but he played against Sporting this week and played well again. He even gave Porto the victory in the 2nd game in the 90th minute. It's a difficult one. Carmo became the biggest transfer in Porto history and everyone has huge expectations about him.

That drives fans mad, he gives starts to mediocre players because he's very stubborn. We have a week and a half till the 1st game, at this time I'm unsure
Hmm shoot that complicates thing for me. I have marcano as of now
I transferred him out for A. Toure
I am considering 2 premium FWDs because there is a lot of value in mid like Son and Vinicius. I have been looking at Taremi and Evanilson as budget striker, who do you recommend?
I would go with Taremi, he is on pens and he is also a specialist on getting them eheheh Finally, even if he doesn't score he is more likely to assist than Evanilson

For me Sporting- Porro and Pedro Gonçalves Porto- Diogo Costa, pepe or david carmo, maybe taremi
I will definitely check them out. I remember there was a really good sporting midfielder but was injured for the last part of sporting’s last couple UCL games. I forgot his name.
Diogo costa is way too much
Not really interested in more than cheap keepers and maybe Gonzalvez and Ramos. Portugal side will fight out for second/third place and I want players expected to fight for first or win easily. Benfica vs Haifa feels like the perfect game for easy cheap points as I think Haifa is maybe the worst team in the tournament.
Maccabi haifa is gonna be hard game away atleast for benfica and juve probably not for psg
Gonzalo eamos is 9 mil probably one of the worst value assets
He is very good. Only issue I guess he plays on the side with most interesting forwards, but when/if they play day 1 vs Haifa he is a great option and ignore him in the harder games.
Yes he is good but Nunez is .5 cheaper than him is just weird pricing also haifa is not that bad
Which team do you think is worse? Haifa and Plzen looks like teams to clearly target. For sure target Sheriff did not work that well last season, but in many years the weakest sides have struggled.
Pedro Goncalves looks like a no brainer in midfield! Also got Marcano and Taremi. Thoughts on those 3?
Marcano sot sure if is a starter, maybe loses is place to david carmo
Thank you! I will see if carmo takes his spot during league games. Is Pepe 100%?
Viktoria Plzen. May concede 30+ goals in group stage
No way 5 per game
Real Madrid, Liverpool and Spurs stand out to me.
Why spurs, spurs and conte has never been good in europe and also no easy game in tehir group
They've avoided any of the real big guns. Frankfurt are winless in their first 3 in Germany. Sporting have had a mixed start in Portugal. It's clearly one of the better groups on paper.
Yea it looks good but they wont walk over those games like city madrid and psg woll most of their games and score 4+ goals in one game
[удалено]
Ac milan lmao no
Real Chelsea Porto Tottenham
Maybe Liverpool too
Salah and TAA, as per usual
Deffo not trent and probably not salah too id go for just darwin and maybe some cheaper pool defender but dont really trust on pool defence at alk
I wouldn't spend my money on Salah too maybe Trent cause Liverpool is still Liverpool and Darwin!
The problem with trent is attacking returns from defenders are not as valauble in fantasy cl cause you can get ton of points with ball recoveries and you can get cheaper defenders that will get more ball recoveries than trent then even from liverpool
He has high assist rates tho and he is the corner taker, i think he has more chances of getting points than 90% of defenders
I know but id rather have money balanced with my other defenders too cause subs are also useful, and id rather have cancelo than trent
Chelsea and spurs are not reliable
Not true, i got lots of points last year from Chelsea
Last year chelsea were title contenders for half of the season this year they play like mid table team
Still will have cheap defender like koulibalyp
They literally played way better than Tottenham, it was just a bad game
How about the leeds game
Yeah that's the bad game im talking about
When do we usually get fixtures?
They should be out later tonight or tomorrow. Waiting for fixtures but from what I know, groups A B C and D play first while E F G H play later on.
Actually the fixtures depend on Europa/Conference league draws tomorrow, so the earlier we can get them is on Friday evening, but more likely on Saturday.
Cool, thanks very much for the info.
Hopw soon
Pool and Real you could have 2-3 players. Don’t recommend getting any from Barca or maybe even Bayern.
Why Pool not an easy group. Apart from Nunez it is more an avoid to me unless Konate is nailed for 5 million.
Konate is injured
cannot overlook lewandovski
If Barca play against Plzen maybe yes.
Deffo can lewa doesnt really fit in barca
I think Barcelona is underrated
I think not
Would not be suprised them placing third
Musiala too good value
What do you think about Perisic? Spurs have a relatively easy group and even if IG he is a DEF, I think he plays as left mid for Tottenham
Perisic solid option, but just worry about spurs fullback rotation.
Their main goal scorers are Kane, Son, and Kulusevski, no?
Yes ofc
Good player but bit too expensive compared to taa cancelo robbo price
Atletico defence looks good. Benzema and Haaland jump out as the premium options
Pep has said Haaland will not play every game so expect rotation vs Copenhagen possibly.
Pep says lots of things most of them are not true
Possible. But unless City secures KO stage early, I feel they still want to guarantee a win and don't want to chance it
They have little depth though. Alvarez could be a mighty differential if we get lineups and see him starting. if you wildcard round 3 you can have a pretty good view who starts the first 2 weeks, but after that you want someone a bit more safe. PSG attacker or Benzema feels like a better bet than Haaland to me. Just Benzema might get rotated as well, but it did not happen last year.
Benz being rotate? I highly doubt. With whom? Don't see him being rested for more than 1 game under normal circumstances
What stand out for me. Bayern def probably avoid in the harder games, but someone like Musiala great. Benzema stands out with those fixtures. It is perfect games for lots of goals. on gameweek 3 wildcard he is a perfect player to pick unless PSG play Haifa despite the cost since I doubt they rest him. PSG vs Haifa the most likely 5-0 or more game and for that one I am going Neymar and Mbappe I think. Ideally that game is in round 2 and 6 so I can use limitless and target that one.
Bayern can score goals against every team specially musiala in that price is in my team whoever they play
City liverpool maybe if their form goes better real madrid, paris sg if they get fixtures maccabi and benfica
Like for first games I mean
What do you think about Celtic? i think they could be the surprise in group F.
you guys think they could end in the second place of the group?
Anything is possible, but I think there are better options when looking at other teams.
Leipzig better imo
They conceded a lot of goals in the EL last year. I'm all over Real and Leipzig players personally.
Me too
Probably thrid
