For the first leg of the round of 16, UCL fantasy managers are allowed to make unlimited transfers. It’s basically as though you have a free wildcard again.

6. The best UCL fantasy round of 16 player picks for your UCL fantasy team – MD7

1. Top UCL fantasy player picks from Ac Milan

Ac Milan are a team that you could get a couple of great UCL fantasy assets from. They are a team you can get defenders midfielders and forwards from. Here are four of the best AC Milan UCL fantasy player picks out there:

1. Oliver Giroud – FWD – 8million
2. Sandro Tonali – MID – 6.6million
3. Rafael Leao – FWD – 8.5million
4. Theo Hernandez – DEF – 5.9million

You can clearly see that with AC Millan, you can get a wide variety of UCL fantasy assets.

You have two pretty good forwards on our list, a midfielder who is great at ball recovery and can pick up assist points, and a defender that can get you clean sheet points and assist points as well.

2. Top UCL fantasy player picks from Spurs

Spurs are another team that you could look to target in this round of fixtures as well, they have a pretty solid team and great UCL fantasy assets. Here are some players you can target from Spurs:

1. Ivan Perisic – DEF – 6million
2. Heung-Min Son – MID – 10.5million
3. Harry Kane – FWD – 10.5million
4. Pedro Porro – DEF – 5.1million

Once again, there are a variety of UCL fantasy assets to pick from Spurs. However, we won’t recommend that you target their defenders, as Spurs don’t keep that many clean sheets.

3. Top UCL fantasy player picks from Paris Saint Germain

PSG is another team that you can get good UCL fantasy assets from. They have great forwards, midfielders, defenders and a pretty good goalkeeper that would be a great addition to your team.

You want to remember though that they play another really good side, in Bayern. Which means that you might not want to invest heavily in their players.

Here are a couple of great PSG UCL fantasy assets that we think would be great additions to your UCL fantasy team:

1. Lionel Messi – FWD – 10.6million
2. Acharf Hakimi – DEF – 6million

Mbappe and Neymar’s injury is something to keep an eye on, if they’re fit then they would be a part of our list. As of now though, they aren’t.

4. Top UCL fantasy player picks from Bayern Munchen

From Bayern, here are a couple of players you can target:

1. Leroy Sane – MID – 9.3million
2. Joao Cancelo – DEF – 6.7million
3. Jamal Musiala – MID – 7million
4. Kingsley Coman – MID – 8million
5. Muller – FWD – 9.9million

There are a lot of decent players you can target from Bayern Munchen. They have great midfielders, a solid full-back that can get you a goal or assist and a good forward, in Muller.

The game against PSG could be a high scoring one and if you invest heavily in Bayern’s players, then you might just benefit from it.

5. Top UCL fantasy player picks from Dortmund and Chelsea

Dortmund is another team that you could target this gameweek. They face Chelsea and that’s a pretty good game, one where a lot of fantasy points could be gotten from.

Here are some players you can target from Dortmund and Chelsea:

3. Recce James – DEF – 6.2million

6. Top UCL fantasy player picks from Benfica and Club Brugge

This is one game that you can target defenders from. Getting in a couple of Benfica defenders might not be a bad strategy as they have one of the easiest games on paper, no disrespect to Club Brugge.

1. Alex Grimaldo – DEF – 5.3million
2. Brandon Mechele – DEF – 4.5million
3. Joao Mario – MID – 6.1million
