Champions League Fantasy Football: Scout notes 15 April

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 transfers will result in a -4 points deduction.

• The Matchday 14 deadline is 21:00 CET on Tuesday, when both fixtures kick off.

• Managers should ensure that any players they own who are in action on Tuesday are in their starting line-up, rather than on the bench.

• Matchday 14 will take place over two days, meaning there will be two opportunities to select a high-performing captain.
