It isn’t always like this but the four first leg fixtures amassed an impressive total of 18 goals! End to end football, ladies and gentlemen. While expecting a repeat might be ambitious, there’s nothing wrong with indulging in a bit of dreamy optimism, especially with such thrilling performances on display.

Amidst the goal-scoring spree, midfield maestros stole the spotlight, contributing a staggering 13 of those 18 goals. Let’s zoom in on two standout midfield options.

Julian Brandt | DOR | M | 7.5M | In 1% of teams

Brandt’s impact off the bench in the previous match at the Metropolitano could be the turning point for his team. Unlucky not to salvage a draw with a header that struck the post in the dying moments, he’s proven to be a potent force. At home, he averages an impressive 6 points per game, with 1 goal and 1 assist in 4 starts in European context. His stats at the Westfalenstadion include 4 shots on target, 11 key passes, and 16 duels won, showcasing his all-around midfield prowess. With Atlético Madrid conceding in all four of their away UCL games this season, Brandt could capitalize on their vulnerabilities.

Bernardo Silva | MCI | M | 7.3M | In 10% of teams

The little Portuguese prince has a knack for shining in crucial Champions League stages, especially against Real Madrid. His recent track record in the semis and now in the last eight showcases his big-game mentality. Bernardo’s ability to control the tempo and possession, alongside Rodri, will be pivotal in countering Real Madrid’s high-speed transitions. As Pep Guardiola’s key operator, Bernardo is not just a player, he’s a strategic linchpin in Manchester City’s tactical framework.

For managers exploring the more dynamic 3–5–2 formation, Brandt and Bernardo emerge as enticing options. Their ability to impact games both offensively and defensively makes them valuable assets in the fantasy realm.

As the Champions League drama unfolds, fantasy managers are in for a roller-coaster ride of thrills and surprises. Strap in, strategize wisely, and watch your fantasy squad flourish amidst the electrifying chaos of European football’s elite stage!
