UEFA Champions League Fantasy Football 2019/20 Last 16 – 2nd Leg
Hello everyone and welcome to UEFA Champions League Fantasy Football 2019/20 Last 16 – 2nd Leg. The CL is back for part 2 of this protracted round on Tuesday. Even though it’s the 2nd leg it’s essentially a fresh GW with new transfers to be made and captain / substitutions to be poured over once more. Let’s go make sense of it all for you once more…
So what do you really need to know this week…
3 Free Transfers
Yep, you get three free fresh transfers ahead of this round, simple as that.
(You can now include four players from any one team at this stage, as opposed to the standard three, this increases as we progress through the rounds).
You can carry one over into the next round if you like but no more than one and you get five free transfers ahead of that one so there’s plenty of scope to kick out the deadwood at that point.
Deadline(s)
They are aplenty!
The main one is the first one of course which is Tuesday 10th March at 8pm GMT. Which is kick off time too so you will at least have the benefit of seeing the team sheets for all of Leipzig, Spurs, Valencia and Atalanta. Your 3 free transfers need to be done by then.
The above is the deadline for your initial transfers but beyond that you can make substitutions and captain changes before each ‘game-day’ (what FPL call a ‘game-week’, UEFA call a ‘match-day’, but within each ‘match-day’ there are separate ‘game-days’);
Subs and Capo Changes
One of the beauties of Fantasy CL is that you get multiple bites at multiple cherries. Basically you get to change your captain between each game-day if you don’t like what the last one did, until the point at which you land on one you do like and also you can bring players off your bench who haven’t played yet and ditch ones who have from your initial XI. Just bear in mind that if you do any of the above you forfeit the right to automatic substitutions, but then again why wouldn’t you?
So basically you get 4 captains if you so want. And you can transfer your bench players in between each days play. Just order them accordingly (plays first = pitch, plays later = bench, etc).
Which all brings us nicely onto;
Fixtures
The good thing to note from the above is that the deadline on each game-day is 8pm, no faffing around with early kick offs, so again you will see the team sheets for all four teams each day before you have to submit your changes.

The Regulars League Table
The Top 10 as we stand… (corutesy of DMC as ever, who has consistently (not deliberately) (& much to his chagrin) extended the courtesy of staying out of the Top 10 in order to provide the pic itself!).
Should be fairly straight-forward this week but if you have any queries just post them in the comments below and as always ask questions, post teams and generally just have a good natter…
Wijnaldum having a game from outer space
Adrian is so bad though
One team has the best goalie in the world. The other the worst… Ffs.
Need a VVD goal now.
Geezzzz what a way to go out…
Pool is so much fcking better… Geeezzz.
End of Liverpool. Ffs.
Yeah. Good goals by Llorente, but Pool as a team are way better.
Such a waste.
Yep, Liverpool are so much better but it’s just 2 matches…
Liverpool’s season will be over then after tonight…
Yes, pretty much over. Well played Athletico.
Had the goalie not made the howler Liverpool would have cruised through but – so it goes.
I’ve never found this sort of defeat bad when your side are the current holders.
What a horrible nasty team Atleti are. I will support whoever they draw in the next round and hope to God they don’t win it.
Horrible and nasty but I quite admire them for it. It works pretty well on occasion. It’s not nice when your side loses to them but fuck, does it really matter. We were the holders and the run had to end at some point.
I really hope they knock out a Flash Harry side in the next round, if there is a next round, playing very horribly and very nastily.
Adrian is genuinely bad.
Oblak is impossible to defeat…
I’ll never ever have him in my squad. He’s so bad that even as a bench player, he can make your team lose.
A Juventus player Rugani has contracted the corona virus… There won’t be a lot of football soon when the players start catching the virus…
That’s really bad news.
Yeah
Zed, it’s coming closer and closer. Wonder if this season will be completed as normal :unknw:
I’m starting to believe it won’t be completed as normal… The virus peaked for 5-6 weeks in China… I’d the same happens in Europe there will be so many games postponed that there’s absolutely no time to reschedule them…
The day they started restrictions for the crowds I knew it’s not going to be good :no:
There has been some gossipy speculation that the league will be continued beyond the 17th May but I can’t see that happening either. It is a real quagmire.
There would be 4-6 rounds postponed… Can’t squeeze them all in between May 17th and the Euros… I think they would just finish the league and keep the table as it is when it happens…
I think possibly yes. Just draw a line. It would be complex if Liverpool were two ahead and City had a game in hand.
It’s more the bottom of the table where it gets tricky.
True, it wouldn’t be ideal, but what’s the alternative in such a case? Anyway, if there’s only two games left then they can perhaps squeeze them in, I’m talking about a situation when there’s 4-6 rounds postponed…
I know what you mean and I agree entirely Zed. There is no alternative. There will be howls of protest, especially if City do end up banned from Europe as the 5th finishing side will be in the CL, but what to do?
& to end the day as I started it – I am truly mystified by the fact games are not being played behind closed doors.
I know we’re not talking bubonic plague but this virus is serious and is claiming lives, people are gone who would be walking the earth now were it not for it.
Not to mention Cheltenham…. #insane
Kralin, it could be possible. Euro will be definitely out of question. A tournament spread over 12 countries, no way.
Anfield’s probably been booked for a series of Madonna gigs, or the biennial international caber tossing competition.
:laugh2: I wouldn’t worry about Madonna, she already cancelled a concert in Paris last weekend. She is in the risky group, you know.
All golfers are getting excited :rofl:
You’d be in Lord of the Flies territory before you could swing your 5 iron, or whatever it is people swing in golf. Unless that amusing fake ad has homo-erotic undertones, which thinking about it, it probably has.
:haha: :drinks:
Hmm. Sucks. Sort of reminds me of Ajax versus Spurs last season. Ajax was much better but fcked up. Why we ended up with the most boring CL final in the history….
Van Dijk playing as CF right now.
Useless. Too late.
😯 So many good chances for LIV tonight! They need to find a better sub GK.
You can say that again. Jesus. I was following it on the Beeb, assumed the game was won at 2-0 then looked up to read about the howler. Oh well.
What’s with Liverpool and keepers :wacko:
A 19-year old kid from a small city with 10,000 inhabitants in Southwest Norway (Erling Haaland) has gotten inside the head of PSG superstars. Love it! :big_boss:
Good win for them that. Maybe they’re just celebrating it?
Nah who would do that?
He would
Great victory for Atletico! So glad to see Liverpool go out. They scored on crosses as usual. :hippo:
Owww come on Teks. You’re not even from the UK. Was a bad day for the football. Agree with you on the Norwegian kid. But if you do something that stands out, they can use it against you. That’s also the game. Really childishness though.
Anyways. Your response on Pool is also childish. Bad day for football. Can’t stand the type of football Atletico play… This game was lost by the goalie of Pool tho. Geeezzz.
Reminded me of last year when Ajax lost while they were much better than Spurs. The referee fcked up that game when it was 1-4 for Ajax.
Spurs went to the final and we all saw how amazing the game versus Pool was.. :big-lol:
Tekno-Kun, are you Secret Zorro in disguise?
If so it’s er great to see you back.
I get ya Raz, but try to see things from my perspective. You say Liverpool lose the match because of the goalie, but literally every match City lose they dominate the match and some player makes a mistake and they lose because of that (except the recent matches against United and Wolves). Whereas Liverpool win matches when they don’t play well, they score from crosses and set pieces, but City almost never score from these, they usually score entertaining goals from open play. So for me, Liverpool play antifootball, and I think it’s a sad day for football when Liverpool’s style of play win the league over City’s style of play.
Oh please Kralin, I just can’t stand this Liverpool team or their style of play. That’s all.
By copying Haaland’s celebration? They’re mocking him! Neymar also did it when he scored his goal. Just think it’s funny that a players of this status rips on a young kid from Norway.
Learning curve for him then perhaps? Celebrate arrogantly (if you must) when the job is done, not part way through.
Fair point. Very excited about him though. Norway haven’t had talents like him and Ødegaard in decades!
Haven’t seen it. Are they taunting him by this gesture?
Yeah Raz, when Haaland scores he celebrates with the lotus position. See above picture. PSG superstars ripping on a 19-year old kid from Norway. Lol. And low.
