Champions Fantasy — Fantasista Tips for Gameweek 4

Midfield Marvels: Navigating GW4's Enigmatic Realm with Style

We find ourselves at the mid-point of the group stage, and the fog is finally lifting (fingers crossed). In the last round, we saw some promising returns from about 66% of our dream team, only to be foiled by my captaincy choice — João, from Montjuïc. Yes, disappointment with a mighty blank against the minnows from Shakhtar.

Speaking of those Ukrainian underdogs, it’s no surprise that I’m considering them once more. And that’s exactly what we’ll do this week. We’ve set our sights on the midfield, for there’s a certain someone named Jude who’s doubtful for GW4, opening the door to a plethora of possibilities in our squads.

Fermín López | BCA | M | 4.5M | In 1% of teams

First up on our quest for the ultimate midfield gem is none other than Fermín López, priced at a mere 4.5M. By now, the name should be etched into your memory, but if it’s not, allow me to whisk you away on a magical journey. This twenty-year-old sensation has started the last six battles for Xavi’s troops and played a pivotal role in their latest UEFA encounter. He not only scored the opening goal but also masterminded the assist for the second. A mere 4.5M investment, and your fifth midfield slot conundrum is solved.

Ander Barrenetxea | RSO | M | 6.0M | In 0% of teams

For those of you who dare to explore the pricier avenues, let me present to you Barrenetxea, valued at 6.0M. He’s the fourth-best offensive midfield option from the illustrious Real Sociedad. With back-to-back home games with Benfica and Red Bull in their sights, the horizon is painted with promises of glory, and a ticket to the coveted last 16. Barrenetxea predominantly prowls on the left flank, where he’s been weaving his magic, amassing five key passes and winning thirteen duels in just 200 minutes of play. That’s one key pass every 40 minutes and a duel won every 15 minutes. Are you not entertained?

Jamal Musiala | BAY | M | 9.0M | In 7% of teams

And now, my friends, if you find your coffers overflowing with fantasy gold, there’s no better place to invest it than in the incredible Musiala, at a princely 9.0M. Hailing from the fabled land of München, he’s your golden ticket to success. Musiala and his fellow warriors are poised for a double-header at their fortress, facing Galatasaray and København. With two goals and an assist in just three matches, Musiala is the prodigious talent you’ve been searching for.

So, as you embark on your fantasy football journey, consider these midfield maestros to guide your path. May your choices be wise, and your points plentiful. Until our next encounter, remember: subtlety is a virtue, and in the world of fantasy football, fortune favors the savvy. Happy strategizing!
