Champions League Fantasy Football: Top Performers on Matchday 10

lthough many of the higher-owned Fantasy players did not deliver substantial points on Matchday 10, there were still 13 players who produced double-figure returns in the UEFA Champions League knockout phase play-off second legs.

UEFA.com looks back at those top performers on #UCLfantasy, presented by Playstation.

GOALKEEPERS

Thirteen of the 16 teams in action on Matchday 10 conceded at least once, meaning only Dortmund's Gregor Kobel (€5.0m), Sporting CP's Rui Silva (€4.0m) and Paris Saint-Germain's Gianluigi Donnarumma (€5.8m) came away with clean sheets. Kobel and Donnarumma each returned six points, while Silva – in his only Champions League appearance of the season – earned 14 points thanks to a penalty save and Player of the Match award in the goalless draw with Dortmund, his side's last game in the competition this season.

Kasper Schmeichel (€4.4m) was another Player of the Match winner for an eliminated team, making nine saves in Celtic's 1-1 draw at Bayern München. Of those who progressed to the round of 16, Simon Mignolet (€4.5m) was the standout with the Club Brugge No1 making eight saves – including a penalty – in the 3-1 win at Atalanta. Like Schmeichel, Mignolet also recorded nine points on Matchday 10.

DEFENDERS

As the highest-owned defender, Achraf Hakimi (€5.6m) did not disappoint his owners with his fifth assist of the competition – and third in succession – in Paris' 7-0 victory against Brest. Coupled with his clean sheet and three ball recoveries, Hakimi picked up ten points, although he was outdone by team-mate Nuno Mendes (€5.6m). The Portuguese international's 13 points were more than any other defender on Matchday 10 thanks to his goal, clean sheet and five ball recoveries.

No defender remaining in the competition has scored more than Ryan Flamingo (€4.6m) in the 2024/25 Champions League, the PSV Eindhoven centre-back's winner against Juventus making it three goals this season. Together with his 11 ball recoveries, Flamingo returned 11 points, one more than Dortmund's Emre Can (€5.1m) – the only other defender to reach double figures on Matchday 10.

Elsewhere, ball recoveries were a healthy source of points for Dortmund trio Julian Ryerson (€5.0m), Nico Schlotterbeck (€5.0m) and Daniel Svensson (€4.0m), as they were for Paris pair Marquinhos (€5.6m) and Willian Pacho (€4.8m).

MIDFIELDERS

Vitinha (€7.1m) once again scored and won the Player of the Match award against Brest, having done the same in the first game. His 26 points over both legs of the knockout phase play-offs was more than any other player across all positions. Chemsdine Talbi (€4.1m) was another star performer across both legs, the budget Club Brugge midfielder following his assist and Player of the Match on Matchday 9 with two goals and 12 points in the return leg against Atalanta.

Among Paris midfielders, Ousmane Dembélé was outscored this time by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (€7.4m) and Bradley Barcola (€7.1m), who managed 12 and 11 points respectively. The pair were involved in four goals between them as the Ligue 1 outfit became the first team to register seven different goalscorers in a Champions League fixture.

Orkun Kökçü (€6.6m) shone in Benfica's 3-3 draw with Monaco, scoring his fourth goal of the European campaign and picking up ten points in the process, while PSV Eindhoven's Ivan Perišić (€5.5m), who also scored in the first leg, struck again on Matchday 10.

FORWARDS

Kylian Mbappé (€10.9m) was the difference-maker for many Fantasy managers on Wednesday, scoring his third Champions League hat-trick in Real Madrid's 3-1 triumph against Manchester City. His resulting 18-point return was comfortably the highest among all players on Matchday 10, with Ferran Jutglà (€6.6m) the only other forward to reach double figures for points. Like Mbappé, the Club Brugge striker was also a scorer in both legs.

The contributions of the in-form Vangelis Pavlidis (€6.7m) were integral to Benfica's progression to the round of 16. After scoring the only goal of the game in the first leg against Monaco, the Greek international both scored and provided an assist on Matchday 10 to return nine points.

Désiré Doué (€4.8m) was one of Paris' seven scorers against Brest and the budget forward, who also laid on an assist, now has either a goal or assist in four of his side's last five Champions League outings. Ismael Saibari (€6.6m) earned a fifth attacking return of the Champions League in PSV's victory against Juventus.
