Who should be my Champions League Fantasy Football captain for the final?

Four potential captains are under consideration as managers prepare for the UEFA Champions League final on Matchday 17 of UCL Fantasy, presented by PlayStation.

SATURDAY 30 MAY

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (€8.5m) vs Arsenal

Given his incredible output throughout the knockout stage, Kvaratskhelia will be the go-to captain for many Fantasy managers. The Georgian's attacking numbers bear repeating; ten goals, six assists and four Player of the Match awards this season, which has led to an overall Fantasy return of 117 points. Raphinha's record total of 137 points last season may be out of reach, although nothing looks beyond the Paris midfielder at the moment.

Ousmane Dembélé (€9.7m) vs Arsenal

While there is an injury doubt surrounding Dembélé's participation, Fantasy managers can wait until the starting line-ups are released before making their captaincy decision. If the Paris forward starts, he represents a hugely tempting option for the Fantasy armband given his 36 points over the course of the last three matchdays. Should he score in the final, Dembélé would become the third player to find the net in every round of the competition, after Kvaratskhelia and Vinícius Júnior.

Other options: Désiré Doué (€8.1m), Nuno Mendes (€6.3m), Willian Pacho (€5.1m)

ARSENAL

Gabriel (€5.8m) vs Paris Saint-Germain

Arsenal's top Fantasy scorer this season, Gabriel is a standout captaincy candidate for managers who are confident in the newly crowned Premier League champions keeping a clean sheet in the final. The Gunners have conceded just six goals in their 14 Champions League games in 2025/26, Gabriel featuring in eight of their nine shutouts. The Brazilian centre-back has also both scored and provided an assist in this season's competition and is averaging almost seven Fantasy points per game.

Bukayo Saka (€9.4m) vs Paris Saint-Germain

For those looking to choose a more attacking option in Mikel Arteta's team, Saka could be the leading choice. The 24-year-old, who has either a goal or an assist in three of his last four appearances in all competitions, was rested in Arsenal's final Premier League game of the season on Sunday. Scorer of the winner in the Gunners' semi-final second-leg victory against Atlético de Madrid, Saka is a man for the big occasion and could reward Fantasy bosses who put their faith in him.

Other options: David Raya (€5.6m), Declan Rice (€7.1m), Kai Havertz (€7.4m)
