We looked at each price option: budget enablers, mid-priced and premium options.
Budget forwards
Doue (4.8m, PSG) – 4/10
- youngster in excellent form – 5G in last 5 PSG matches
- if you need a budget forward, he is your man
Mid-priced forwards (7m – 8.5m)
Guirassy (8.2m, Dortmund) – 6.5/10
- one of the main men for Dortmund this season, especially in the Champions League
- unstoppable form in the Champions League
- Barcelona is not so solid defensively, there could be goals at both ends
Premium forwards (8.5m – 11m)
Lautaro Martinez (9.4m, Inter) – 6/10
- main man for Inter, although this season its not the same Lautaro Martinez we saw in previous seasons – his goals output is lower
Lewandowski (9.6m, Barcelona) – 9/10
- captaincy candidate in any fixture
- Barca is scoring goals for fun this season
Kane (10.8m, Bayern) – 6/10
- key man for Bayern
- but the fixture in Milan will be very dificult
Vinicius (11.2m, Real Madrid) – 3/10
- he can score in any game, but unlikely to progress to the semifinals
Mbappe (11m, Real Madrid) – 3/10
- he will be involved in goals, but unlikely to progress to the semifinals
Picking the best forwards to your Fantasy Champions League team
When picking strikers into your UCL Fantasy team, you should consider:
- Historically, forwards are the best captains in Fantasy Champions League
- Make sure you have two great captaincy options among forwards – one for Tuesday and one for Wednesday (unless you plan to captain premium midfielder in one day)
- Pick forwards who are in form and have easy fixture – this will allow you to maximize points potential from your captain
- Consider probabilities when picking forwards. Let bookies any time goalscorer odds to help you with that. You can find them here: Champions League Goalscoring Odds.
- Think about structure. For example, you could go:
- 11m – captain for Tuesday
- 11m – backup captain for Wednesday
- 6m – in-form differential with an easy fixture
