Champions League Fantasy Football: Who's in form?

UEFA.com considers five standout players to consider for managers on UCL Fantasy, presented by PlayStation, to consider for the UEFA Champions League round of 16 second legs.

Kasper Høgh (€5.6m) – Bodø/Glimt

Still owned by just 2% of Fantasy managers, Høgh once again demonstrated his differential appeal on Matchday 11 by scoring his fifth goal of Bodø/Glimt's superb Champions League campaign. Having also supplied three assists, the budget-priced striker now has more Fantasy points – 52 – than the 36%-owned Erling Haaland. The Norwegian side take a three-goal advantage into the second leg against Sporting CP and Høgh has seven attacking returns in his last five Champions League outings.

Bradley Barcola (€7.5m) – Paris Saint-Germain

Paris Saint-Germain also carry a three-goal lead into Matchday 12, Barcola having played his part in their 5-2 first-leg victory against Chelsea. Opening the scoring for the French champions, the 23-year-old has now scored in each of Paris' last three matches across all competitions. Despite stiff competition in the attacking areas, Barcola has started all 11 Champions League fixtures this season and offers differential value as he features in just 6% of Fantasy squads.

Federico Valverde (€6.6m) – Real Madrid

The leading Fantasy performer on Matchday 11, Valverde's stunning hat-trick against Manchester City resulted in a 22-point haul that is sure to attract Fantasy interest ahead of the return leg. The Uruguayan international has registered seven attacking returns in five games in all competitions, including three goals and two assists in the Champions League – compelling numbers for Fantasy managers looking to invest in a new midfielder.

Lamine Yamal (€9.9m) – Barcelona

Included as one of the in-form picks in the Matchday 11 article, Yamal found the net in Barcelona's 1-1 draw at Newcastle, converting an added-time penalty to level the tie. With the Spanish side at home on Matchday 12, Yamal's Fantasy potential only increases, especially as he has either scored or provided an assist in the last five games in all competitions. Twenty Fantasy points over the course of the last two matchdays make the 18-year-old difficult to ignore.

Victor Osimhen (€8.1m) – Galatasaray

A consistent threat in recent games, Osimhen made another telling contribution on Matchday 11, setting up the only goal in Galatasaray's 1-0 victory at home to Liverpool. The Nigerian forward now has at least one attacking return in each of his last eight appearances for the Turkish side across all competitions, including their most recent three Champions League fixtures. Despite missing two matches during the league phase, Osimhen has 67 Fantasy points overall – second only to Kylian Mbappé among forwards.
