In-form Fantasy assets are under the spotlight as UEFA.com identifies five players who have been delivering eye-catching performances ahead of Matchday 10 on #UCLfantasy, presented by Playstation.
Serhou Guirassy (€8.0m) – Dortmund
One of the most consistent Fantasy forwards during the league phase, Guirassy continued his excellent form with a goal and assist in the first leg at Sporting CP. That took him to a competition-leading ten goals in the 2024/25 Champions League, while he has also provided three assists and won two penalties. With 65 points the Dortmund striker is the top scorer in his position, and has six goals in his last six appearances in all competitions.
Daizen Maeda (€6.7m) – Celtic
Maeda is enjoying his most prolific season in a Celtic shirt having struck 22 times in all competitions for the Scottish side, scoring nine goals in his last seven club outings and six in his last three. That includes his goal against Bayern München in the 1-2 defeat on Matchday 9, and if Celtic are to build on that and mount a remarkable comeback in the return leg, it is likely that Maeda – on target four times in the Champions League this season – will be involved.
Kylian Mbappé (€10.9m) – Real Madrid
Mbappé's goal at Manchester City on Matchday 9 was the fourth Champions League game in succession in which he had either scored or provided an assist and his sixth attacking return overall. Across all competitions, the Real Madrid forward has ten goals in his last nine appearances and is his club's top scorer in 2024/25 with 24. With four career goals against City, Mbappé has a Fantasy ownership of 29% as he looks to add to that tally on Matchday 10.
Erling Haaland (€11.0m) – Manchester City
Haaland's double on Matchday 9 – the third time he has scored twice in a Champions League fixture this season – have kept Manchester City in their tie with Real Madrid and he could again have a key role to play in the return leg. Always a consistent goalscorer, the Norwegian has struck six times in his last six Premier League games and has 27 goals in all competitions this season. Haaland is also one short of 50 Champions League goals, from just 48 appearances.
Ousmane Dembélé (€8.4m) – Paris Saint-Germain
Fantasy managers were quick to acquire Dembélé before Matchday 9 after his excellent start to 2025, and a first-leg double at Brest fully justified that popularity. With 18 goals in his last 11 games and ten in his last four, the Paris midfielder is in the form of his life and has made himself almost impossible to ignore from a Fantasy point of view. On Matchday 10 Dembélé will look to add to the seven goals he has already scored against Brest in 2024/25.
