From expected line-ups to advice on substitutions and captain changes, the scout notes offer a helping hand to managers on #UCLfantasy, presented by Playstation.
Fantasy decisions
• Fantasy managers have three free transfers to use ahead of the second legs. Any additional moves will result in a four-point deduction per transfer.
• The Matchday 12 deadline is 18:45 CET – the kick-off time for Barcelona vs Benfica.
• Fantasy managers should ensure that any players they own who are in action on Tuesday should be in their starting line-up, rather than on the bench.
• Matchday 12 takes place over two days, meaning there will be two opportunities to select a high-performing captain.
