Predicted Liverpool XI — UCL Quarter-Final
Predicted Starting XI
£4.3m, 12 pts. Budget goalkeeper option.
£5.3m. Right-back, previously at Leverkusen. Pace to burn.
£5.6m. Physical centre-back alongside van Dijk.
£6.2m, 76 pts, 42% owned. Liverpool's defensive rock and set-piece threat.
£4.7m. Left-back, budget defender option.
£5.5m. Deep-lying midfielder who has been excellent this season.
£6.4m. Tidy in possession, links defence to attack.
£6.9m. Attacking midfielder with energy and pressing intensity.
£10.4m, 45 pts, 11% owned. Still capable of magic. Day 2 player.
Forward option for Slot. Not yet priced in UCL Fantasy.
£9m. The German wonderkid. Signed in the summer and already a key player. Day 2 differential.
UCL Fantasy Implications
**Liverpool play on Day 2 (Wednesday)** so none of these players can be your captain (captain must be Day 1). **Van Dijk (£6.2m, 42% owned)** is the safe pick for his set-piece threat and clean sheet potential. **Wirtz (£9m)** and **Salah (£10.4m)** are the premium attacking options. Away in Paris is a tough fixture though.
Key Battle
Van Dijk and Konaté vs Dembélé and Kvaratskhelia is the matchup that defines this tie. If Liverpool's centre-backs can handle PSG's pace, Slot's side have the midfield quality to control the match.
