UCL Fantasy MD7/Round of 16 Differentials (<10% TSB)

VICTOR OSIMHEN~NAPOLI, 7.9M, TSB: 4%

Napoli are one of the most in form teams in Europe at the moment scoring goals and winning games for fun.

The young partnership of Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia have worked wonders in attack contributing to 37 goals & assists between them in Serie A this season.

Victor Osimhen is finally showing why Napoli paid in excess of 75 million euros for him 3 years ago.

In Serie A he’s so far had 16xG & 3xA in 17 games at an xG of 10.2 and per 90 mins he averages npxG+xAG of 0.77.

Osimhen’s currently only owned by 4% of UCL Fantasy managers but I am sure thats going to significantly increase soon.

In my opinion he should definitely be in your UCL Fantasy round of 16 forward lineup when Napoli play Frankfurt.

RIYAD MAHREZ~MANCHESTER CITY, 9.8M, TSB: 2%

Riyad Mahrez is a streaky player and when he is on it, its a beautiful sight to watch on the football pitch and it seems like the case at the moment.

In the Premier League this season in 11 starts he has 5xG & 4xA out of which most of the goal contributions have come in the last 4-5 matches.

Pep Guardiola is notoriously known for favouring form players and Mahrez looks set to continue in his position in the upcoming UCL game as well.

Man City play RB Leipzig at home in the 1st leg of their UCL round of 16 fixture and this fixture tends to have a lot of goals which suggest the likes of Mahrez can bag some good fantasy points for us.

Mahrez is currently only owned by 2% UCL Fantasy managers and he could be really good differential punt for the Round of 16 matches.

LAUTARO MARTINEZ~INTER MILAN, 8.5M, TSB: 3%

Inter’s main man this season Lautaro Martinez is kind of going under the radar given how well the Napoli attackers are performing.

In Serie A this season, Lautaro so far has 12xG & 3xA in 19 starts at an xG of 9.4 and 0.68 goal involvement/90 mins which shows he’s taken the mantle of being Inter’s main man.

Inter Milan also as a team are finally showing signs of improvement in their form beating AC Milan both in the Super Coppa final and then again in the Derby in Serie A.

Martinez will look to help the team with goals when Inter play Porto in the R16.

Currently, Martinez is only owned by 3% managers, and at a price of 8.5M he could be a great differential to target.

Other differential FWDs for UCL Fantasy Round of 16 are: Mehdi Taremi at 2% ownership.

JOAO MARIO~BENFICA, 6.1M, TSB: 6%

Mario is having one of his best seasons ever for Benfica in terms of goal contributions.

So far this season Joao Mario has 12xG & 4xA in 19 starts and per 90 xG+xAG of 0.92 which shows when there is goal, he’s usually involved.

In UCL fantasy as well he has 4xG & 1xA in 6 games so far with 24 ball recoveries as well contributing to his overall points tally.

For Midfielders Joao Mario is 4th on the list of most points scored in the group stages in UCL Fantasy.

On paper Benfica are odds on favorites to progress in their Round of 16 tie vs Club Brugge whose form has dropped off a cliff after the World Cup.

Mario is still only 6% owned and at just 6.1M price he could be your perfect UCL Fantasy MD7 differential enabler in midfield.

FEDERICO DIMARCO~INTER MILAN, 4.6M, TSB: 1%

Federico Dimarco has started 19 of the 21 games in Serie A this season for Inter Milan and has cemented the LB/LWB role ahead of Robin Gosens.

He has 3xG & 1xA so far but his movement and involvement in the build up play is whats very interesting, he has per 90 mins, 4.76 shot creating actions, 0.48 npxG+ xAG which are one of the best in the league.

In UCL Fantasy, Dimarco has 2 assists so far and further 19 ball recoveries.

He comes in at a very reasonable price of 4.6M and with just 1% ownership he can be a great way to stand out of the crowd when it comes to defensive assets in UCL Fantasy.

JAMAL MUSIALA~BAYERN MUNICH, 7M, TSB: 8%

Musiala has arguably been Bayern Munich’s most exciting player in recent times, his skill and talent was evident to see at the World Cup as well.

In the Bundesliga this season, Musiala has contributed 10xG & 7xA in 17 starts, which is 1 goal contribution per game.

Given his recent form, he’s a sure shot starter vs PSG in the R16 and he will be in the thick of it if Bayern have to perform well vs the Parisians.

Even though in recent games, Musiala has been playing a deeper role, I still expect him be great value at his price of 7M in UCL Fantasy.

Musiala is currently only owned by 8% but I expect it grow when the UCL Fantasy game updates.
