UEFA Champions League Fantasy Football 2020/21
Round of 16
Hello everyone and welcome to UEFA Champions League Fantasy Football 2020/21.
Having rushed through the Group Stage at some pace we now arrive at the Round of 16 and this one will be taken at much more of a sedentary pace as it is spaced out over the course of an entire month, with no less than 8 separate match days, 2 games on each and the whole thing is split into 2 parts with an opportunity to make transfers again ahead of the 2nd leg ties. If all that seems a bit convoluted then no fear not as we shall lay out the basics below in our usual ‘all you need to know’ fashion.
Other than that we have an update on The Regs League and Mito has updated his Set-Piece Takers list. We have removed the section about the rules as you probably (should) know how the game works by now. If you don’t though please just ask in the comments below.
Round of 16: The Basics
We all now have UNLIMITED transfers again up until the first deadline which is Tuesday 16th Feb 8pm GMT.
The whole thing is split into 2 as follows…
Leg 1
- The fixtures are as below.
- You can make manual subs up until the KO (8pm) on each Matchday.
- Likewise you can change your Captain between each one, so having a spread of players who feature on different days would be wise.
Leg 2
- Again the fixtures are as below.
- The main difference here is that you get an additional 3 free transfers to use before the first deadline of leg 2 (Tuesday 9th March 8pm).
- After that there are again another 4 separate ‘Matchdays’, so crack on as per above with manual subs and Capo switches.
Other things to note
- Your budget has now increased to €105m
- You can now select 4 players from each team

As a bit of housekeeping; there have been a couple of people kicked out recently as we basically have no idea who you are. If this was you and you feel it was unjust then just reply in the comments below. Cue the sound of silence.
UEFA Champions League Set-Piece Takers
All hail Mito who is clearly bored at the moment and has taken the time to research the following for us all:
So that’s the basics, in as much of a small nutshell as we could manage, without boring the pants off you. If you have any further questions or queries or if there are any clarifications you need then as always please feel to ask below.
Please feel free to post any RMT’s on the issue or indeed as ever, especially as we’ve slightly interrupted the FPL weekend for this, just carrying on talking about that!
Captain Messi from the spot!
Salah scores! Great!
I need at least one more from him, otherwise the armband goes to Haaland tomorrow night.
You have captained Salah?
Yep, have only 3 players for tonight. Him, Jones and Angelino.
Wow good to see old Poch back at it doing well, albeit w/ a PSG team.
Worst Barcelona team I have ever seen what do you think?
Yeah seemed they were slowly getting better in la liga but been pretty bad in big games tho. Never like koeman!
I spy w/ my lil eyes someone’s got Mbappe (c). Well done!!
Thanks! I thought PSG would get past them but certainly did not expect that.
Was not expecting that score line either. Ole Poch showin Koemen how it’s done (hopefully he’s out the door soon).

Sevilla v Dortmund

Right, I am gonna gamble and move the armband from Salah to Haaland.
Surely he can score at least a goal
Maybe yeah. Sevilla 3-1.
Yep
I’m keeping it on Salah. Not brave enough to make the switch!
