UCL Fantasy Managers Target Olise Yamal and Kane for Matchday 2

On October 13, 2026, UCL Fantasy managers prepared Matchday 2 squads for the Champions League league phase, with Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Arsenal and Liverpool players among the most selected options according to Fantasy Football Scout, FootballCoin and UEFA Champions League.

UEFA Champions League Fantasy coverage identified Michael Olise, Lamine Yamal, Ousmane Dembélé and Ermedin Demirović as leading captain candidates. Olise produced 21 Fantasy points in Matchday 1 after scoring two goals and providing an assist in Bayern München's 5-0 win over Bodø/Glimt, according to UEFA.

Fantasy Football Scout highlighted Bayern Munich attackers because the club had one of the highest projected scoring opportunities for Matchday 2. Harry Kane was also listed as a premium forward after recording four goals and two assists across the Champions League and Bundesliga, according to the outlet.

Lamine Yamal was another major selection after contributing a goal and two assists in Barcelona's 5-1 victory over Feyenoord in Matchday 1. UEFA said the 19-year-old had recorded 12 goals and seven assists in his last nine appearances for club and country.

Defensive options focused on teams with strong clean sheet projections. Fantasy Football Scout selected Gabriel Magalhães from Arsenal, Dayot Upamecano from Bayern Munich, Virgil van Dijk from Liverpool and Inter goalkeeper Josep Martínez as potential value picks.

Inter's home match against Club Brugge made Martínez a budget goalkeeper option, while Aston Villa goalkeeper Zion Suzuki was also highlighted as an affordable choice for managers seeking savings, according to Fantasy Football Scout.

Other attacking recommendations included Napoli midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, Como's Nico Paz and Stuttgart forward Serhou Guirassy. Fantasy Football Scout noted De Bruyne scored twice in his latest league match, while Paz entered Matchday 2 after three goals and one assist in his previous four outings.

FootballCoin's Matchday 2 selections also featured players such as Martin Ødegaard, Achraf Hakimi and Ousmane Dembélé. The outlet emphasized a mix of high-profile stars and lower-cost options for squad construction.

UEFA reported that Dembélé earned 16 Fantasy points after scoring two goals and assisting twice in Paris Saint-Germain's 6-1 win over Slovan Bratislava in the opening round. Stuttgart striker Ermedin Demirović also entered the captain discussion after scoring a hat-trick and earning 17 Fantasy points in Matchday 1.
