Champions League Fantasy Football: Scout notes 30 May

Ahead of the UEFA Champions League final on Matchday 17, the Scout notes offer assistance to managers on UCL Fantasy, presented by PlayStation.

Fantasy decisions

• The deadline for transfers and squad selection on Saturday is 18:00 CET – the final kick-off time for Paris Saint-Germain vs Arsenal.

• Fantasy managers have up to five free transfers to use ahead of the deadline. Any additional transfers will result in a -4 points deduction.

• Up to eight players from each team can be selected.

• As Matchday 17 involves just one fixture, Fantasy bosses should note that there is only one opportunity to select a captain and no window for manual substitutions, so choosing a strong starting 11 is crucial.
