Which of the league phase's best Fantasy performers could feature?
Goalkeepers
Lowiese Seynhaeve (€4.7m) is this season's highest-scoring goalkeeper, collecting 31 Fantasy points across the league phase. She played in all six of OH Leuven's games, saved 50 shots, kept one clean sheet and picked up a Player of the Match award. Defending champions Arsenal are her side's next opponents.
Phallon Tullis-Joyce (€5.4m) amassed 20 points despite missing two of Manchester United's league phase games through injury. She kept three clean sheets in the four games she featured in and saved 11 shots. The USA goalkeeper kept a shutout against Man United's next opponents, Atleti, on Matchday 2.
Defenders
Fridolina Rolfö (€5.1m) scored three goals, assisted once and contributed to two clean sheets for Manchester United to pick up 40 points in the league phase. Rolfö's team-mate Maya Le Tissier (€5.7m) also scored highly, with 45 ball recoveries and a converted penalty contributing to her tally of 38 points.
Lotte Wubben Moy (€4.6m) was part of an Arsenal defence that kept three clean sheets. The centre-back also recovered 36 balls to finish the league phase level on 32 points with María Méndez (€5m), who scored, assisted and recovered 33 balls for Real Madrid. Paris FC are Las Blancas' next opponents.
Midfielders
Only Klara Bühl (€8.7m), who progressed straight to the quarter-finals with Bayern so is not involved in the play-offs, equalled Fiamma's (€6.6m) tally of 52 Fantasy points in the league phase. The Atleti midfielder scored four goals, assisted three times and contributed to two clean sheets.
Real Madrid's Caroline Weir (€5.6m) also scored four goals and assisted two others to pick up 43 points, while her team-mate Linda Caicedo (€7.1m) set up three goals and scored once to amass 33 points. OH Leuven's Sára Pusztai (€5.9m) is one point behind on 32, having scored twice.
Forwards
Alessia Russo (€10.5m) was the highest-scoring forward in the league phase with 41 points, five ahead of her Arsenal team-mate Beth Mead (€9.0m). Both were influential in front of goal, scoring four and three times respectively, and contributing five assists between them.
Wolfsburg pair Lineth Beerensteyn (€7.4m) and Alex Popp (€8.6m) were also among the top Fantasy performers with Beerensteyn netting four goals and Popp two.
Knockout phase Fantasy rules and deadlines
Fantasy managers get unlimited free transfers ahead of the knockout phase play-offs and again before the quarter-finals, so squads can be adjusted to teams participating in the specific rounds. Two free transfers are also enabled between the first and second legs of the play-offs.
The deadline for making transfers for the first legs is 18:45 CET on Wednesday 11 February, kick-off time in OH Leuven vs Arsenal. After the first day of fixtures, Fantasy managers can replace players who didn't score as highly as hoped with substitutes and switch captains until the teams lock again at 18:45 CET on Thursday 12 February.
