Champions Fantasy — Fantasista Tips for Gameweek 12

It got a bit more lonely at the top, but the Fantasista is not cutting any slack for the 2nd leg of the semi-finals.

As expected the pick of the crop in the last round could have a big impact on the standings and for now a bigger gap to the 2nd placed team allows us to breathe a bit more freely.

Nonetheless, decisions need to be pondered with only two gameweeks to go and we need to single out the ones that could have not only an immediate impact but also transition into the UCL Final.

With that in mind, here are two options to put your eyes into:

Matteo Darmian | IM | D | 5.0M | In 1% of teams

If you are in dire need of a budget pick and still fancy a return, this is your man. It has been 4 cleanies in the last 5 games in UCL, with Matteo averaging 4.8 CBI and 2.8 DW per game, borderline 2 extra pts in play here. We should expect those numbers to propel, since Inter could play a little more on the defensive side, protecting their two goal lead and adjusting accordingly.

İlkay Gündoğan | MCI | M | 7.0M | In 3% of teams

One player you could get in your midfield is the in-form Captain from City. The german, who registered the only assist in the first leg games, has scored 4 goals in the last two domestic games! He is the one to keep an eye on, specially if you own Rodrygo or Leão, and we get reports that they might not start their respective matches. At 7.0 million, you can’t get better than this.
