Now, let’s look at things you should consider when picking the best goalkeepers to your UCL Fantasy team.
Tips for picking the best goalkeepers for your UCL Fantasy team
With goalkeepers, you always want a keeper that has a very high chance of a clean sheet.
But what is crucial, it is to have two playing goalkeepers – one that plays on Tuesday and one that plays on Wednesday.
That way, if your Tuesday’s goalkeeper did not score enough points (we use 4 points as our threshold) you can replace him with a goalkeeper that is yet to play on Wednesday.
This will help you maximize the UCL Fantasy points gained from your goalkeepers. Also, when considering a goalkeeper for your UCL Fantasy team, you always have to take a look at fixtures and asses whether a certain keeper has the potential for a clean sheet. Does he have a tough or easy fixture?
You can use our Champions League Clean Sheets Odds to find teams, who are most likely to keep a clean sheet in the next round of Champions League.
And do not forget to consider goalkeepers who are good at saves or penalty saves. You can find which goalkeepers made the most saves in the previous season in our article: Goalkepeers with the most saves in UCL Fantasy.
