Before we take a look at some of our fantastic articles for Matchday 16, international fantasy football whizz @FPLReaction reveals his tips for this week!

Ok there is lots to cover this week. I’m going to first touch upon injuries, my thoughts around those injuries and what I would do if I had those players.

Firstly, things change rapidly in UCL Fantasy, so I could share something now, and then that change immediately after. My suggestion would be to regularly check the sources I’m about to share for updates.

Now getting into it, we should touch upon Robert Lewandowski.

We heard from Flick that Lewandowski will not start the game against Inter. This isn’t ideal for those with or without him really. As an owner, getting rid of him or trying to replace him would be scary. He could well come on at half time or around the 60-minute mark, and if he does then that’s 30-45 minutes spearheading the most lethal attack in Europe.

It could even get worse for those that don’t own him. Because if the game goes into extra time, Lewandowski could play at least an hour. So, it’s a tough one.

I’ll be keeping the Pole, and I’d probably buy him if I didn’t own him to be honest.

I feel the same about Ferran Torres. He is likely going to start up front again which means he is still an excellent option, even with Lewa lurking in the wings.

I personally own both Torres and Lewa, so I won’t be doing a thing, I’ll keep them both. Even if Lewa starts the game, Torres should still get 30-45 minutes, maybe even 60+ if the game goes into extra time.

As we can see, Lautaro Martinez is predicted to start by a VERY RELIABLE source. This source has proven correct 9/10. I have also seen images and videos of Lautaro in full training, so I’d fully expect him to start.

Lautaro is another player I’m lucky to own. If fit, he is arguably one of the best attacking options in the game this week. At home and playing a Barcelona side who regularly concede goals most games could mean joy for the Argentine.

I don’t have to do anything because I own him, but If I didn’t own him, I’d prioritise buying him. Inter have as much of a chance of scoring goals as Barcelona this week, and he will be absolutely vital to the Italians frontline.

The other player causing carnage with a lot of plans this week is Ousmane Dembele.

As we can see the PSG attacker has been in collective training ahead of the new round which is a massive boost for the French giants.

Even before seeing this I thought that he would start, based on how he discussed the injury when it happened. I also think PSG without Dembele is a major cause for concern. Without Dembele I’d expect a much worse PSG attack. Barcola isn’t great, Doue is raw and Kvara can turn it on in any game but he isn’t a consistent goal scorer, so they really need Dembele in my opinion.

That pretty much covers the big three in terms of injury status. Like I said earlier, use all three sources above on X and I think you’ll be set for success. Don’t go anywhere yet, ALL PREMIUM ARTICLES ARE FREE this week, you just need to sign up.
