Best Wildcard team for Matchday 3

Goalkeepers

Yann Sommer (€4.5m) – Inter have a fantastic group in general for clean sheet potential but they also face two back-to-back matches against Salzburg next. The Italian side were one of the best defences in the league last campaign and at his price Sommer could be a steal.

Dmytro Riznyk (€4m) – It could be very difficult for clean sheets on the second day so investing as little money in a second goalkeeper as possible could be the play. Riznyk may have a tough two games ahead but he also has two good ones after that. The Ukrainian also helps to enable funds elsewhere.

Defenders

Joao Mario (€4.5m) – Porto have two matches against Antwerp next and could have a great chance to claim back-to-back clean sheets. Trying to pick up clean sheets at a budget price could prove difficult moving forward but Joao Mario could do exactly that.

Hamari Traore (€4.5m) – Real Sociedad have already shown their defensive quality against both Salzburg and Inter and face a Benfica side who seem short of goals this season next up. Traore bagged five attacking returns for Rennes last season and he’s already banked 16 ball recoveries in his first two UCL games.

Joao Cancelo (€6m) – Barcelona have bagged two clean sheets in two matches and they look set for a third in the next game against Shakhtar Donetsk. Cancelo has clean sheet potential but he also has very good attacking threat and we can see that from the four attacking returns he’s bagged already this season.

David Raum (€4.5m) – Due to the lack of clean sheets and performances from premium defenders we continue with some great budget priced options. Leipzig have two matches against Crvena zvezda next. Not only does Raum offer clean sheet potential but Raum takes corners and maintains fantastic distribution numbers. He also created an assist in Matchday 1.

Federico Dimarco (€5.5m) – Inter play with a back-three system which means Dimarco can get into some dangerous positions in the final third. In terms of output the Italian has already collected four attacking returns in all competitions so far.

Midfielders

Jude Bellingham (€7.6m) – Real Madrid continue to dominate the group stages after two wins out of two. They face Braga twice in the next two who have conceded two goals in both of their first games. Bellingham has claimed two double-digit hauls in two matches and has managed a massive 12 goals and four assists since joining the Spanish giants.

Marcus Thuram (€6.5m) – Inter have started their season in top scoring form bagging between two and four goals in six of their first 10 matches. They come up against a Salzburg team who look massively open at the back. Thuram plays out of position as a forward and has already produced nine attacking returns in 12 matches this season.

Brais Mendez (6.6m) – Real Sociedad look a very efficient team in terms of goals scoring in all but one of their games so far this campaign. Their standout attacker is this man who currently sits as the highest scoring player in the game after securing 26 points and two double-digit hauls. He has also produced seven goal contributions in all competitions so far.

Galeno (€6.6m) – Porto have a two great opportunities to get points on the board against Antwerp. The Belgian side have conceded a huge eight goals already and Galeno could take advantage of that. He accumulated a whopping 19 points in Matchday 1 with his goal, two assists and player of the match award and has a great chance to repeat some of that success ahead.

Leroy Sane (€9.1m) – Bayern regularly maintain one of the highest scoring averages in Europe so investing in their attack is crucial. They face Turkish side Galatasaray next who have been leaking plenty of goals. With that in mind star player Sane comes into the fold after bagging nine goals already this season.

Forwards

Harry Kane (€10m) – The Englishman has been one of the most reliable strikers in world football for some years. Not only is he taking the Bayern penalties but he has also scored eight goals and produced four assists in 12 Bundesliga matches.

Erling Haaland (€11.5m) – Manchester City also maintain some of the best attacking numbers across Europe on a regular basis. The focal point to the relentless frontline is Erling Haaland. Many believe Haaland has hit a purple patch of late but 11 goals and two assists already this season suggests he could go big in any given game.

Luuk De Jong (£8.5m) – PSV have netted between 2-5 goals in all five of their last games and they face Lens up next whom have kept just one clean sheet all season. With that in mind focal point to their attack and penalty taker De Jong could be a great addition. The Dutchman has racked up a whopping 20 goal contributions since the start of the season.
