Are you anxious about winning your Champions League fantasy football event?
You've come to the right place. These are the players that I think can help you achieve just that and not shatter your budget either.
Before you're on to creating your winning team, I recommend doing it in FootballCoin 's daily fantasy football game. It's always free, and you can always win real prizes My R3 Fantasy Squad Reveal Yes, I'm choosing players based on three criteria:their form, their opposition's form and their effect on my budget.
Once again, I am opting to go for a5-4-1 formation. Goalkeeper Nikita Haikin (Bodo/Glimt) - 2* and Free 2/ lease in FootballCoin - Established, underrated Norwegian goalie takes on Rasmus Hojlund in the Champions League?
My pick is for the Norwegian keeper. Defenders Benoit Badiashile (Napoli) - 2* and Free 2/ lease in FootballCoin - Badiashile is a defender that I've expected to become much more prevalent for a few years now.
With Napoli being awful this year, the game against Bodo/Glimt will either restart the team's season or bury it completely. David Hancko (Atletico Madrid) - 2* and Free 2/ lease in FootballCoin - Hancko remains, likely, the best defender that you can get at this price point.
Atleti's performance against Manchester United last week makes me confident more of the same is on the way. Jacobo Ramon (Como) - 3* and Free 2/ lease in FootballCoin - If things go the way that I expect them to go, Manchester United will spend a lot of the time against Como desperately looking for a goal.
That's when Jacobo Ramon's defensive acumen will be most handy. Myles Lewis-Skelly (Arsenal) - 2* and Free 2/ lease in FootballCoin - Playing against Harry Kane and the rest of Bayern's strong attackers is just the kind of test that Lewis-Skelly needs.
It'll be tough, but I predict he'll pass it. Frederik Bjorkan (Bodo/Glimt) - 2* and Free 2/ lease in FootballCoin - Can Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt still be considered a surprise entry after the past two seasons that they've had in European competitions?
