Injuries are destroying UCL Fantasy teams this round. Three of Real Madrid's biggest assets are OUT, Liverpool lose their first-choice goalkeeper, and several other stars are racing to be fit. Here's every team's injury status and what it means for your fantasy squad.
The Big Ones — Must-Know Injuries
Real Madrid — Decimated
Fantasy impact: SELL EVERYTHING. Real Madrid's three most explosive attackers are all out simultaneously. This is unprecedented. Vinícius Júnior is the only premium option remaining, but with no Mbappé or Bellingham creating around him, his expected output drops significantly. Our model has him at just 4.8 xPts — down from 7.2 with a full-strength side.
Liverpool
Fantasy impact: Alisson's absence reduces Liverpool's clean sheet probability slightly, but Mamardashvili is a capable deputy. The bigger story is Wirtz starting — he's a massive fantasy asset and confirmed in the lineup against Galatasaray.
Bayern München
Fantasy impact: Bayern's attack is fully fit and stacked. Kane leads the line with 8 goals, Olise has 6 assists (joint top in the competition), and Musiala — classified as a midfielder — gets extra points for goals.
