Who to Captain in UCL Fantasy Matchday 3: Picking the Big Guns!
Okay, so you've survived the first two matchdays of UCL Fantasy. Maybe you're winning, maybe you're drowning in red arrows. But no matter what, Matchday 3 is here, and we need a captain to lead us to glory!
This week, the big boys are back in action, and we're looking at some real heavy hitters for the armband. It's a chance to get those big points and maybe even climb up the rankings. But who should you go for?
The Proven Goalscorers:
- Erling Haaland (Manchester City): This guy is just ridiculous. He's scored a ton of goals in every competition he's played in, and he's a machine in the UCL. Manchester City are up against a tough opponent in Copenhagen, but Haaland is still a top captain choice. He's a real game-changer and can easily bag a brace or even a hat-trick.
- Kylian Mbappé (PSG): If you're feeling a bit risky, Mbappé could be your man. PSG have a favorable fixture against Benfica, and Mbappé is always a threat to score. He's a real livewire and can explode at any moment. Just be warned, he can also go missing in some games.
- Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona): Lewandowski is a proven goalscorer, and he's already bagged a few in the UCL this season. Barcelona are playing Inter Milan, which is a tough game, but if you think Lewandowski can get on the scoresheet, he's worth a punt.
The Potential Value Picks:
- Darwin Núñez (Liverpool): Núñez has a real chance to shine against Rangers. Liverpool are a powerhouse at Anfield, and Núñez is looking to get back on track after a couple of quiet matches. He could be a real steal if he explodes!
- Vinícius Júnior (Real Madrid): Vinícius is a super-talented winger, and he's shown flashes of brilliance this season. Real Madrid are facing a tough match against Shakhtar Donetsk, but if they can break through, Vinícius is likely to be involved in goals.
Some Captain Considerations:
- Form: Look at recent form. Who's hot right now? Don't be afraid to go with a player who's in red-hot form, even if their team is facing a tough opponent.
- Fixture: Some teams have easier fixtures than others. Look for teams with attacking potential and a good chance of scoring a few goals.
- Opponent: Who are your captain playing against? Some teams are better defensively than others.
Ultimately, the best captain choice is the one that you feel confident in. It's a matter of personal preference and your own assessment of the matches. Good luck, and may your captain choices be fruitful!
