Five in-form players are highlighted as UEFA.com looks ahead to Matchday 2 of #UCLfantasy, presented by PlayStation.
Nicolo Tresoldi (€5.0m) – Club Brugge
A number of budget forwards have caught the eye of Fantasy managers so far, but Tresoldi is one who has flown under the radar. The 21-year-old opened the scoring in Club Brugge's 4-1 triumph against Monaco on Matchday 1, also picking up a ball recovery point – rare among forwards. Tresoldi has scored five goals in his last four games for club and country ahead of a Matchday 2 visit to Atalanta – the side Club Brugge eliminated in last season's knockout phase play-offs.
Kylian Mbappé (€10.5m) – Real Madrid
With Real Madrid travelling to Kairat Almaty in one of the early kick-offs on Tuesday, Fantasy managers will have the benefit of seeing whether Mbappé features in the starting line-up. Should that be the case, Mbappé owners will be safe in the knowledge that they possess one of the deadliest strikers in world football. The Frenchman has scored in eight of his nine games for club and country in 2025/26 – 11 goals in total – and has five in his last three games across all competitions.
Hakan Çalhanoğlu (€7.0m) – Inter
Among midfielders, there are fewer more consistent Fantasy performers in the mid-range price bracket than Çalhanoğlu, who once again proved his worth on Matchday 1. The Turkish international came away with ten Fantasy points after providing the assist for both of Marcus Thuram's goals in Inter's 2-0 win at Ajax, and his ownership is steadily rising ahead of the Matchday 2 fixture against Slavia Praha. Normally on penalty duty for his club, Çalhanoğlu also scored twice from open play against Juventus earlier this month.
Harry Kane (€10.5m) – Bayern München
Even by his own high standards, Kane's numbers this season are remarkable; the Bayern forward's recent Bundesliga hat-trick against Hoffenheim took him to 13 goals in just seven club appearances in all competitions. Those three goals – his second hat-trick of the season – followed two in the 3-1 victory over Chelsea on Matchday 1, meaning he is sure to be a popular captaincy choice when Bayern face debutants Pafos in the Cypriot side's second Champions League fixture.
Erling Haaland (€10.5m) – Manchester City
After becoming the quickest player to score 50 Champions League goals in City's Matchday 1 victory at home to Napoli, Haaland then struck at Arsenal in the Premier League to make it 13 goals for club and country in 2025/26 and nine in his last four games. The Norwegian, owned by 30% of Fantasy managers, has found the net in all but one of his games this season, although a back complaint means Fantasy managers need to monitor his fitness ahead of the trip to Monaco.
