Great news, Fantasy Football managers, UCL Fantasy for the 2024/25 season is back! The game launched, so do not hesitate and start picking your squad today.
The game is only available through the UEFA mobile app and the official website.
New format = more unlimited transfer opportunities
From the 2024/25 season, UCL will have 8 matchdays in the group stage (instead of 6) and 9 matchdays in the elimination phase (instead of 7) so we will likely see 17 matchdays of UCL Fantasy football in the next season (instead of 13).
Because of that there would be 2 matchdays with unlimited transfers – one after the group stage and one after the knockout round playoffs.

First thoughts
- Scoring is the same as last season (points for balls recovered, goals outside of the box, MOTM awards remain as they were in the previous season)
- 2 free transfers between matches as usual in group stage and between play offs
- 3 + 5 free transfers during knock outs
- 2 chips: wildcard + limitless wildcard
- deadline on the first kick off
Players
- Nothing new to player pricing
- The highest price is 11 million which gives a lot of flexibility for building a strong team
- A lot of value at the back with a 6 million max price for defenders
- We feel that prices are 0.5 lower than they were last season
- A lot of value among midfielders
Important dates
- Group stage draw: 29 August 2024
- MD1 deadline: 17 September 2024
