UCL Fantasy Matchday 11 Best Differentials

The new round of the Champions League is about to begin and so we continue coverage by reeling off the UCL Fantasy Matchday 11 best differentials. To help us we consider lots of different factors including team and player form, fixture difficulty and stats.

Differentials are players who have low ownership. Owning a differential who has success can be extremely influential on both mini-league position and overall rank. Because of this checking out our UCL Fantasy Matchday 11 differentials can be extremely beneficial.

Ferran Jutglà – 0% Ownership

UCL Fantasy Matchday 11 Best Differentials

Club Brugge should not be underestimated going into the new round. The Belgians have already edged the likes of Sporting CP, Atalanta, and Aston Villa in the current campaign. What is interesting is that they face Aston Villa once more this week.

Scoring five goals against Atalanta in the previous two matches shows just how much threat Club Brugge have. Aston Villa have also failed to keep a clean sheet since mid-January. Both make main man Ferran Jutglà (€6.6m) a potential option. He goes into the game in top form – returning in each of his last three Champions League matches.

Leandro Trossard – 2% Ownership

Arsenal have been hampered with injuries in attack. The Gooners have been without the likes of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus and even Kai Havertz. This means the likes of midfielder Leandro Trossard (€7m) has taken on more responsibility.

Whether the Belgian can thrive with the above in mind is questionable, but with PSV ahead, he sure has the fixture to perform. The Dutch side have shown time and time again they can be a goal threat. However, they have also been ropey at best at the back – conceding at least two goals in seven of their previous 10 matches in all competitions.

Julian Brandt – 3% Ownership

Dortmund play at home this week, which is a nice boost. The German side have been hit and miss this season, but their recent win against Sporting CP in the Champions League and 6-0 hammering of fellow Bundesliga side Union Berlin, means they go into their next game in form for a change.

Facing Lille next makes the German giants even more appealing from an investment perspective. The French side have been both arguably lucky and statistically leaky, so creative maestro Julian Brandt (€7.5m) could return. Brandt has been largely disappointing this campaign overall, but bagged five attacking returns in the five games prior to his previous two fixtures.

Vangelis Pavlidis

Barcelona are up next for Benfica, scary right? Well no…Barcelona may have finished second in the Champions League League Phase, but they also conceded more goals than a whopping 19 teams in the top 24.

Benfica host Barcelona at home in Matchday 1. The last time this fixture played, the game ended 4-5. Among all of those goals was Vangelis Pavlidis (€6.7m), who manged three goals. He is also in excellent form overall, and has amassed a mammoth 11 goals and three assists in his last 10 matches, making him one of the most in-form strikers in Europe.

Federico Dimarco – 4% Ownership

We can’t dance around the fact Inter have been relentless defensively. As well as keeping a huge seven clean sheets in their first eight League Phase games, they also conceded just a single goal. Both achievements are quite frankly unheard of.

Inter also play with wing-backs, which makes their defensive assets very appealing. One of them is of course Federico Dimarco (€5.5m). Already this season the Italian has racked up 12 attacking returns in all competitions, so goes into the round with multiple avenues to points for owners.
