Champions League Fantasy Football: Scout notes 7 April

The Scout notes offer guidance to managers on UCL Fantasy, presented by PlayStation, ahead of the first legs in this season's UEFA Champions League quarter-finals on Matchday 13.

Fantasy decisions

• Fantasy managers have five free transfers on Matchday 13, and it is now possible to select a maximum of five players from each team.

• The deadline for Matchday 13 is Tuesday at 21:00 CET – the kick-off time for both Sporting CP vs Arsenal and Real Madrid vs Bayern München.

• Fantasy managers should make sure that any player they own whose team play on Tuesday is in their starting line-up rather than on the bench.

• Matchday 13 takes place over two days, giving Fantasy bosses two chances to select a high-performing captain.

• Managers should note that they will receive a further three free transfers before the second legs.
