Best Players for UCL Fantasy Matchday 4 (2025/26)
As the UEFA Champions League progresses to Matchday 4, fantasy football managers are finalizing their squads. This guide highlights the top players to consider for a successful round in your UCL Fantasy team.
Key Defensive Picks for Clean Sheets
Arsenal's defense has been outstanding, securing six consecutive clean sheets. They face Slavia Praha in an early kickoff, offering goalkeeper David Raya (€5.5m) a prime chance to extend his record to four clean sheets in four Champions League matches.
Inter Milan also impress defensively, having maintained clean sheets in all three of their UCL games. Their goalkeeper Yan Sommer (€6m) has been instrumental in this run. This week's fixture against a struggling Kairat suggests further defensive stability.
Other Goalkeepers to Consider
- Jan Oblak (€6m) of Atlético Madrid, playing against USG
- Robert Sanchez (€5m) from Chelsea, facing Qarabag
- Nick Pope (€5m) of Newcastle, up against Athletic Club
Defensive Strategy Insights
While Inter's defense offers strong clean sheet potential, their use of a back-three formation highlights the value of their wing-back Denzel Dumfries (€6m) for fantasy managers seeking attacking returns from defensive players.
"With six consecutive clean sheets, Arsenal are proving to be formidable defensively."
"The Italian side have kept a shutout in all three of their Champions League matches."
Managers should focus on sturdy defenses and versatile players for a balanced and productive fantasy lineup.
