Hello eveyone, I'm @carita-feliz, and I will be talking about the upcoming UCL matches and my team selection!
Currently I'm sitting on 15th place on the scorum league, my team is macnuggets fc.
CR7 getting a red card on GW1 left me with 42 points.
GW2 was better for me, tripling up on Barca, although risky, was worth it as I got 57 points with captain Messi.
This will be my team for GW3
Sadly Messi won't be available for Barca for the upcoming games due to this horrible injury (NSFW) and a a replacement had to be brought.
Team selection
Keepers:
Manuel Neuer: has been my keeper since GW1, FC Bayern's new era under Nico Kovac might not have started well, however I'm confident that they will at least go though
Sweden's #1 continues to impress me after his great WC performance, that being said I'm not confident enough that he will deliver more points during this GW
Defenders:
Joshua Kimmich: one of the best assets from Bayern with great offensive potential, should eventually deliver more points in form of assists or even goals
Kyle Walker: great defender for Man City, now that Mendy is back the question is whether or not Mendy should replace him. That being said I trust that with his offensive potential and the fact that City
Raphael Varane: Real Madrid might be having a lot of problems as of now, but I still think that they will perform well against Viktoria Plzen.
Alex Telles: penalty taker for Porto, this alone and the fact that Porto has great chances of going through makes him a great choice. For this GW they are facing Lok Moscow so they should keep a clean sheet.
Thomas Meunier: after transfering Messi, I was able to relocate some of the funds to other areas, one of them being defense. Meunier is a great offensive asset, even though PSG has tough fixtures I'm confident that Meunier can be a great addition to my team.
Midfielders:
Axel Witsel: He plays in a more defensively position, this isn't a smart option for a midfielder in this fantasy game. However with only 3% of people owning him, he can be a great differential
Lasse Schöne: One of Ajax's best players. I'm confident Ajax won't be a pushover against Benfica. With a low percentage (0%) he is a good differential for the fantasy
Coutinho: When it comes to Barcelona's midfield, he's their best players offensively, Coutinho is in my opinion a must have. He's able to score and assist a lot with and without Messi.
Marlos: One of Shakhtar's best players. So far has only one assist, I think he has potential for more. Completely ignored that he was injured so I'll have to switch him if he doesn't play
Raheem Sterling: He will be my captain for today, I think he has potential to score today against Shakhtar. He was benched against Burnley last Saturday, so he should be nailed on today.
Strikers:
Daniel Sturridge: I expected Liverpool to rotate against Crvena zvezda and play Firmino against Huddersfield. This didn't happen.. that being said Liverpool's strikers are a great option for the next 2 matches against the serbian champion and Sturridge is cheaper.
Ousmane Dembele: So far the only striker I haven't transfered. Even though he didn't play against Tottenham, he is nailed on against Inter, due to Messi not being available
Harry Kane: Tottenham's best player, and my replacement for Messi. With 2 matches against PSV Eindhoven and sitting dead last on their group I think Tottenham will concentrate on the UCL for their upcoming 2 games.
My predictions:
Ajax 2 - 2 Benfica
Shakthar 1 - 3 Man City
Hoffenheim 1 - 2 Lyon
Real Madrid 2 - 0 Plzen
Roma 3 - 2 CSKA
Man Utd 1 - 3 Juve
Brugge 1 - 1 Monaco
PSV 0 - 3 Spurs
BVB 2 - 1 Atletico
Barcelona 3 - 1 Inter
Liverpool 4 - 0 Crvena zvezda
Galatasaray 2 - 0 Schalke
Lok. Moscow 0 - 1 Porto
