UCL Fantasy: Top Scout Picks for Matchday 14
The UEFA Champions League resumes with quarter-final second legs this week. It doubles as Matchday 14 for UCL Fantasy managers.
Filmogaz.com presents scout picks to guide team choices. The list focuses on players most likely to score attacking returns and clean sheets.
Goalkeepers
Matvei Safonov (€4.4m) is the top budget option for Tuesday. PSG arrive after clean sheets versus Chelsea and Liverpool.
David Raya (€5.5m) serves as a reliable fallback. Arsenal have recorded consecutive Champions League clean sheets.
Defenders
Arsenal defenders carry strong appeal this round. Gabriel Magalhães (€5.7m) and William Saliba (€5.9m) offer set-piece threat and clean-sheet potential.
Geny Catamo (€5.4m) is listed as a defender but operates on the right wing. He provides multiple attacking routes to points.
From PSG, Achraf Hakimi (€5.9m) is the key attacking full-back. He has recorded a goal contribution in four of his last five UCL appearances.
Matteo Ruggeri (€4.3m) is a budget alternative. He registered an assist in the first leg against Barcelona.
Midfielders
Liverpool return to Anfield and should perform better than in the first leg. Dominik Szoboszlai (€7.0m) offers value for attacking returns.
Szoboszlai has five goals and four assists in the Champions League so far. He is an economical way into Liverpool’s attack.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (€8.3m) remains PSG’s most potent attacker. He arrives after three straight double-digit hauls in the competition.
Bayern face Real Madrid, and Michael Olise (€8.3m) is an in-form option. He impressed in Madrid and posted an 18-point Champions League haul recently.
The Atletico versus Barcelona tie should produce goals. Lamine Yamal (€9.9m) is notable for penalty duties for Barcelona.
Giuliano Simeone (€6.2m) looks like Atletico’s most attractive attacking midfielder/forward option. He offers value at a lower price point.
Forwards
Barcelona will chase a two-goal deficit, which could create space for runners. Julián Álvarez (€9.3m) is highlighted for his form.
Harry Kane (€10.8m) and Kylian Mbappé (€11.0m) remain elite forward picks. Kane has amassed over 50 attacking returns across all competitions this season.
Mbappé has produced 15 Champions League goal contributions. Both players also benefit from penalty responsibilities.
How to use these scout picks
- Balance a couple of elite forwards with budget defenders and a value goalkeeper.
- Consider tripling up on Arsenal defenders when possible for clean-sheet potential.
- Mix attacking full-backs and versatile wide defenders for bonus-point routes.
