Matchday 7 presents a new set of challenges for Fantasy managers, with defensive reliability harder to come by in certain fixtures and attacking returns playing a bigger role in squad selection.
As form begins to stabilize across teams, this round offers an opportunity to lean into players who have already delivered consistent Fantasy returns.
We have now put together our Matchday 7 player picks based on proven output in the competition so far.
Goalkeeper
Lucas Chevalier (€4.5m) – Paris Saint-Germain at Sporting CP
Lucas Chevalier earns the nod in goal as Paris Saint-Germain travel to Sporting CP. While clean sheets may be difficult to secure in some of Tuesday’s fixtures, Chevalier stands out as the preferred option among the available goalkeepers.
His selection reflects confidence in PSG’s ability to manage the fixture defensively, making him a strong value pick for Matchday 7.
Defenders
Gabriel (€5.7m) – Arsenal vs Inter
Gabriel remains one of the most reliable defensive options in the competition. With four clean sheets already recorded, alongside one goal and one assist, he has accumulated 36 Fantasy points through consistent defensive and attacking returns.
His set-piece threat adds further upside, making him a well-rounded defender against Inter.
Giorgio Scalvini (€4.4m) – Atalanta vs Athletic Club
Scalvini returns for Atalanta as they face an Athletic Club side that has failed to score in their last three league phase games.
Atalanta themselves have been defensively solid, conceding just two goals in their last six matches in all competitions and keeping four clean sheets.
That defensive record underpins Scalvini’s appeal as a budget-friendly option with clean-sheet potential.
Trevoh Chalobah (€4.4m) – Chelsea vs Pafos
Chalobah offers differential appeal in Chelsea’s back line, featuring in only 2% of Fantasy teams.
He is targeting a third clean sheet of the campaign as Chelsea host Pafos.
At his price point, another shut-out would represent strong value, particularly for managers looking to diversify their defensive picks.
Rico Lewis (€4.3m) – Manchester City at Bodø/Glimt
Rico Lewis completes the defense after already delivering both a clean sheet and an assist in the league phase. His ability to contribute in multiple ways enhances his Fantasy appeal.
With Manchester City traveling to Bodø/Glimt, Lewis offers an affordable route into a defense that has already rewarded Fantasy managers earlier in the competition.
City are currently dealing with an injury crisis and that should see Lewis start once more following his weekend outing against Man United.
Midfielders
Michael Olise (€8.2m) – Bayern München vs Union Saint-Gilloise
Michael Olise has been in outstanding form, recording four goals and eight assists in his last eight appearances in all competitions. Bayern München’s attacking output makes their midfielders a major focus for Matchday 7.
Olise’s recent goal contributions places him firmly among the standout midfield picks for this round.
Serge Gnabry (€6.3m) – Bayern München vs Union Saint-Gilloise
Serge Gnabry joins the Bayern double-up after scoring in his last two matches. He now has three goals and three assists across his last six games.
That level of consistency makes him a strong complementary option alongside Olise, particularly at a lower price point.
Vitinha (€7.2m) – Paris Saint-Germain at Sporting CP
Vitinha has been one of the most productive midfielders in the competition, sitting as the second-highest Fantasy scorer with 53 points.
His output includes four goals, one assist, and 38 ball recoveries, which have contributed an additional 11 Fantasy points.
That combination of attacking returns and ball recoveries makes him a dependable all-around pick for Matchday 7.
Forwards
Kylian Mbappé (€10.9m) – Real Madrid vs Monaco
Kylian Mbappé leads all players in Fantasy scoring with 57 points, driven primarily by his competition-leading nine goals. He also comes into Matchday 7 with 12 goals in nine games across all competitions.
With Real Madrid hosting Monaco, Mbappé remains the most productive forward available.
Harry Kane (€10.8m) – Bayern München vs Union Saint-Gilloise
Harry Kane is on 40 Fantasy points and has scored five goals in the Champions League this season. He has also found the net in four of Bayern’s last five matches.
That consistency keeps him firmly in contention among the elite forward options for Matchday 7.
Erling Haaland (€10.7m) – Manchester City at Bodø/Glimt
Erling Haaland also sits on 40 Fantasy points, having scored six goals in the competition. While his recent scoring run has slowed, this fixture presents an opportunity to add to his tally.
He will also be aiming to become the first Norwegian to score against a Norwegian club in the Champions League, adding extra motivation to the occasion.
