Who should be my Champions League Fantasy Football captain for Matchday 5?

As the league phase of the UEFA Champions League moves into its second half, UEFA.com offers some captaincy suggestions for Matchday 5 on #UCLfantasy, presented by Playstation.

TUESDAY 26 NOVEMBER

Raphinha (€7.6m) vs Brest (H)

Sometimes the right captaincy choice is simple; trust the player who has scored the most Fantasy points. That is the case when it comes to Raphinha, whose 50 points is 12 more than any other player in any position. The Brazilian has 48 in the last three matchdays, five goals, three assists and two Player of the Match awards helping the Barcelona forward to three consecutive double-figure returns. Hansi Flick's side have also scored more goals (15) than any other team in the league phase.

Erling Haaland (€11.0m) vs Feyenoord (H)

Still comfortably the highest-owned Fantasy forward, Haaland owners may be a little hesitant to captain the Norwegian on Matchday 5 given his missed penalty at Sporting CP last time out. However, the Manchester City striker struck twice in his last Champions League home game and has three hat-tricks this season for club and country, most recently in the UEFA Nations League on 17 November. With City looking to get their European campaign back on track following defeat in Lisbon, Haaland could benefit from a positive approach against Feyenoord.

Other options: Viktor Gyökeres (€7.6m), Harry Kane (€10.7m), Florian Wirtz (€7.7m)

WEDNESDAY 27 NOVEMBER

Mohamed Salah (€10.1m) vs Real Madrid (H)

Ahead of Matchday 5, Salah's four assists is the most in the competition, while he has also scored and won a Player of the Match award for a Liverpool side that have won all four fixtures. Next up is the visit of holders Real Madrid, against whom Salah has scored twice, and with eight goals in 11 Premier League appearances this season, the Egyptian could profit once more against visitors who are yet to keep a clean sheet in the Champions League this season.

Serhou Guirassy (€7.8m) vs GNK Dinamo (A)

After five points against Sturm Graz on Matchday 4, the Dortmund forward is now the only player who has either scored or provided an assist on all four matchdays. With a fairly modest ownership of 8% at the time of writing, Guirassy is still something of a differential option and a tempting captaincy choice again given his consistent goal output for both club and country having scored nine times in 13 games for Dortmund.

Other options: Jonathan David (€7.1m), Vinícius Júnior (€11.1m), Nicolas Kühn (€4.5m)
