Champions League Fantasy Football: Scout notes 4 November

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

• The Matchday 4 deadline is 18:45 CET on Tuesday – the kick-off times of both Napoli vs Frankfurt and Slavia Praha vs Arsenal.

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

• Matchday 4 takes place over two days, meaning there will be two opportunities to select a high-performing captain.
