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…
***NEW ARTICLE- CHAMPIONS LEAGUE LAST 16 2ND LEG***
For those who play we are back on this week…
Thanks for reminding me init. I will probably replace Allison and my Atalanta defensive pair this week. Although that’s a bit severe because they did get me more than Messi and Salah
But maybe I’ll keep the Atalanta guys. They probably won’t clean sheets this time but they are cheap, play first so I’ll be sure they’re starting line up and are almost certain to be in the next round.
I’ve got 6.6 for a keeper, who would you buy ? Already got Meret so Ter Stegen is a no go.
Sczcesny?
I was thinking of him but couldn’t spell it. :big-lol:
Mine was a copy/paste!
Thanks Init!
What moves are you planning?
Last time I didn’t have time to remove Son out of my team before the deadline, so I have to do that at least, but not sure who for.
Probably Messi for Lewan, Szczesny for Allison and someone for Lenglet. You?
I wanted to do MBappe, who is a doubt, to Lewan but your post made me realised he’s injured, I didn’t know.
Struggling to find which forward to go for.
Then Son to either Alli, Sancho, Mane? I’m really not sure.
Barca are absolute shite at the moment Init. Something is really wrong there.
Think today Messi was removed from training because he was fighting with Abidal.
On that note. Messi is the only one keeping Barca together. Without him they would be a mid table team.
Allison must go. I would like to get Ederson but already have Szczesny who plays on the same day. That leaves me with Buffon for tomorrow, unlikely CS as I see MU scoring. The other option is Ter Stegen who always gets extra points regardless of the score. Casillas at home vs Roma could be a good punt :scratch_one-s_head:
OK, used 2 FT for Stegen → Alisson and Messi → Lewa.
Any ideas for the third transfer?
Only two players for tonight and captain choice will be a shot in the dark between Alli and Ilicic :blink:
MBappe is a doubt as he’s currently ill, he hasn’t trained yesterday nor today, just an idea for the third transfer.
Could get Werner if Mbappe is indeed out and therefore also have a more viable capo for tonight in the process.
Init, Frenchie cheers :good:
Werner is marked doubtful as well. I will try to see the lineups and if he starts will get him.
Would you take out Messi and stick Ronaldo into this lot ?
Take Lewan out instead surely?
Didn’t know he was injured, cheers Boss.
Broke his knee and carried on playing! Tib to be exact.
