Champions League Fantasy Football: Scout notes 3 November

The Scout notes offer guidance to managers on UCL Fantasy, presented by PlayStation, ahead of Matchday 4 of the UEFA Champions League.

Fantasy decisions

• The Matchday 4 deadline is 18:45 CET on Tuesday – the kick-off times of both Shakhtar Donetsk vs Sporting CP and Galatasaray vs Stuttgart.

• 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.
