Fantasy UEFA Champions League 2017/18 – 5 under-priced/under-selected gems
1. Dries Mertens - €10.0 - TSB 0% Last season, Mertens racked up an astonishing 28 goals and 9 assists in only 28 league starts for Napoli in the Serie A. In these matches, he average over 4 shots per game, which demonstrates how he managed to find the back of the net so much. He also netted 5 goals and provided 2 assists in 6 Champions League (UCL) starts last season. He has carried this form into the new season, picking up 2 goals in 2 starts in the Serie A so far, as well as bagging a crucial goal in the UCL play-offs against Nice. It is worth noting that Mertens may also be Napoli’s go to penalty taker having scored 2 last season, and is also an astute free-kick taker. A central figure in the Napoli side, Mertens is a player who knows how to find the back of the net regularly, as well as assist his teammates. 2. Luis Muriel - €7.0 - TSB 1% The Colombian flyer quietly went about his business for Sampdoria last season, registering 11 goals and 5 goals
