That being said, the 2022-23 UCL fantasy season is also approaching and in this article we will try to choose the best draft of MD1. Matchday One is divided into two days and we will target specific fixtures of the two days. Before that lets understand how to create your UCL fantasy team.
Important points to bear in mind before making your UCL fantasy team:
• Try to choose those players that are all supposed to play.
• As you create your team, ensure you create a balanced team of players who play on both days.
• Try to pick two different captains for both game days.
• Don’t stick with only one goalkeeper, pick two goalkeepers playing on each day of the match days.
• The most important thing to keep in mind is that before picking up players, always check the team sheets of the teams before the kick-off.
UCL 2022-23 fixtures to look forward in MD 1:

Mahrez is also a good attacking option in the midfield, he provided 71 UCL points with 7 goals and 2 assists last season. Another one on the list is Benfica’s Florentino who has started in 4/4 of winning games for Benfica.
He is a defensive midfielder and can give you good points in ball recoveries. Musiala is another option you can go for, he has scored 3 goals with 1 assist in 2 games for Bayern Munich this season. He can be a the differential in MD1.
