Women's Champions League Fantasy Football: Midfielders for every budget

UEFA.com shines a spotlight on a selection of appealing midfield options available in different price brackets to managers playing Women's Champions League Fantasy Football, presented by Amazon.

PREMIUM OPTIONS 

It is easy to understand why Barcelona's Aitana Bonmatí (€10.5m) is top of the price list: the Barcelona midfielder recently won her third consecutive Ballon d’Or and was crowned 2024/25 Women's Champions League Player of the Season. No player registered more assists than Bonmatí's five in last season’s competition and she also scored four times.

Two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas (€10.0m) is another Barcelona player history suggests is worthy of her price tag, with three goals and four assists in 2024/25, while fellow Spain international Mariona Caldentey (€8.0m) contributed seven goals and two assists to Arsenal's trophy-winning campaign last season.

Bayern's Klara Bühl (€8.5m) added four assists to her two goals in last term's competition and Atlético de Madrid's Luany (€8.0m) is another promising possibility at the higher end of the market.

MID-PRICED OPTIONS 

Slightly more budget-friendly suggestions are Janina Minge (€7.0m), who scored twice as Wolfsburg reached last season's quarter-finals, and Barbara Bonansea (€7.5m), who returns to the competition with Juventus after a memorable strike for Italy against England in the Women's EURO 2025 semi-finals.

A player Bonansea faced in that semi-final who is also accustomed to delivering crucial goals, Ella Toone (€7.5m) is set to play at this stage for the first time with Manchester United; the midfielder recorded three assists in qualifying after two goals and two assists at Women's EURO.

Olaug Tvedten (€6.5m) scored Vålerenga's inaugural group stage goal last October against eventual champions Arsenal and her club-mate Stine Brekken (€7.0m) found the net four times in this season's qualifying rounds. Manuela Giugliano (€6.5m) could be another good investment after two goals and three assists for Roma in the 2024/25 competition.

BUDGET OPTIONS 

Chelsea playmaker Keira Walsh (€6.0m) has two Women's Champions League winners' medals from her time at Barcelona and is likely to score plenty of points from ball recoveries alone, while Patri Guijarro (€6.0m) matched her Barcelona team-mate Bonmatí with five assists in last season's competition.

Ballon d'Or nominee Caroline Weir (€5.0m) will be seeking to build on last season's run to the last eight with Real Madrid, during which she scored three goals and provided three assists. Weir's Scotland international team-mate Kim Little (€5.5m) lifted the trophy as Arsenal captain in May.

Catarina Macario (€5.5m) – three goals and two assists in 2024/25 – and Guro Reiten (€5.5m) – two and one – are good lower-priced options from a Chelsea team that has reached the semi-finals in the last three seasons.
