After a tantalizing 60-day hiatus, the UEFA Champions League roars back to life, and the tactical chess match is about to intensify! Brace yourselves for the knockout stage, scattered over four days of adrenaline-pumping clashes.

Now, let’s cut to the chase — with matchdays spread like wildfire, smart planning is the key. Keep a keen eye on those early fixtures; they might just offer the tactical advantage you need to conquer your fantasy foes.

Without further ado, let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of the pitch battles:

Niclas Füllkrug | DOR | F | 6.5M | In 0% of teams

Post-winter break, Füllkrug is on a goal-scoring spree, tallying 5 goals and 2 assists in 5 Bundesliga battles. Beyond being a poacher, he’s become a creator, orchestrating 10 key passes and winning 25 duels in his last 4 UCL appearances. PSV, with their porous defense conceding 10 goals in the group stage, presents a tempting challenge. If you’re on the lookout for a mid-priced forward, Füllkrug could be your go-to man.

Brahim Díaz | RMD | M | 5.5M | In 0% of teams

In the midfield battleground, Díaz emerges as a solution to tactical conundrums. Should Jude’s ligament injury persist, this Madrid maestro is ready to shine. With two UCL starts this season, Diaz boasts a goal and an assist, showcasing his offensive prowess with 2 shots on target, 3 key passes, and 11 duels won. Leipzig, with a meager 5 clean sheets, could be the canvas for Díaz’s strategic play. For those favoring the 3–5–2 formation, this might just be the tactical gamble you’ve been waiting for.

Matteo Darmian | IM | D | 5.0M | In 0% of teams

In the defensive stronghold, Darmian takes center stage, having featured in the last 3 UCL games and 18 of the last 19 in all competitions for Inter. Nailed down on that right-wing by Inzaghi’s favoritism, Darmian is set to dazzle. The fixture might not be a walk in the park, but there’s hope for attacking returns against a recently leaky Atlético defense. Inter, with 4 clean sheets in their last 5 Serie A battles, brings a blend of defensive solidity and attacking flair. It’s a tightrope walk between fantasy fortune and tactical prowess!

Get ready, fellow fantasy strategists, as these picks could be the finishing strokes you are needing to finish off your team canvas and conquer GW7 of the #ChampionsFantasy saga!
