<h2>Matchday 3 – Day 1 – UCL Team Review </h2>
 A solid start to Matchday 3 finishing with a total of 80 points.
 My first transfer was Brahim Diaz (€6.0m) to Arnaut Groeneveld (€6.2m). Diaz tested positive for COVID and was replaced by the Dutch footballer who plays Young Boys tomorrow.
My second transfer was Geoffrey Kondogbia (€5.1m) to Joao Palhinha (€5.1m). The main reason for this transfer is that Kondogbia’s place in the team has been in jeopardy of late. He did however start in central defense today but was subbed at half. Kondogbia finished with 1 point compared to Palhinha’s 4. 
As discussed in my article<a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/ucl-fantasy-matchday-3-team-reveal/"> UCL Fantasy Team Reveal Matchday 3</a>, I mentioned my lack of confidence in Gregor Kobel (€4.7m) keeping a clean sheet. This came true as Ajax beat Dortmund 4-0.
My three starting defenders all finished with solid returns and will be going nowhere for Day 2.
Eder Militao (€5.3m) and Noussair Mazraoui (€4.7m) both finished with 8 points each (a clean sheet and 2 ball recovery points).
I was upset to see Inter Milan and Stefan de Vrij (€5.2) loose their clean sheet on a wonder goal by Sheriff however de Vrij was able to fight back and score a goal of his own while recovering 10 balls. He finished with a solid 11 points. 
In midfield, it was no other than Mohammed Salah (€10.6m) who ended up standing out among the rest. He finished with 2 goals and 13 points (he received an extra point for a goal outside the box). I thought he would also be named Player of the Match for his performance but that was not meant to be.
Joao Palhinha (€5.1m) finished with 4 points as did Edson Alvarez (€4.6m). Christopher Nkunku (€7.9m) only managed 2 points.
My 2 starting forwards came to play today. I am happy I held onto Sebastien Haller (€8.9m). He scored a goal, provided an assist, and also recovered 3 balls for a total of 10 points.
Real Madrid’s captain and my Day 1 captain Karim Benzema (€10.1m) finished with a goal and the Player of the Match award for a total of 9 points. Winning 5-0, I would have expected a few more returns from Benzema however I am happy with the return.
<h2></h2>
<h2>Matchday 3 – Day 2 – Substitutes </h2>
<ol>
<li>Substitute Gregor Kobel (€4.7m) to Yassine Bounou (€5.0m). Kobel finished with 2 points meaning Bounou will be coming into my team for his match against Lille.</li>
<li>Christopher Nkunku (€7.9m) to Arnaut Groeneveld (€6.2m). Villareal are playing Young Boys and Groeneveld has been playing in a front 3. Nkunku only finished with 2 points meaning he is an easy substitute. </li>
<li>Joao Palhinha (€5.1m) to Joshua Kimmich (€6.6m). 4 points from Palhinha isn’t awful but it isn’t great. Kimmich has opportunities for points on both sides of the pitch against Benfica and I think he will score higher than 4 points.</li>
<li>Edson Alvarez (€4.6m) to Cesar Azpilicueta (€5.3m). I am 50/50 on this substitute. I am not crazy; I think Chelsea have a great chance for a clean sheet against Malmo however I am worried Azpilicueta does not get the start. This would mean substituting out 4 points and getting 0 in return. I will look for team news to guide this substitution.</li>
</ol>
Robert Lewandowski (€11.7m) is already in my team so he will not need to be subbed in. 
My final debate is captaincy. Do I twist on Karim Benzema (€10.1m) who finished with 9 points to Robert Lewandowski (€11.7m) against Benfica? I am leaning towards playing it safe and holding.
<h2></h2>
<h2>Matchday 4 Planning </h2>
Chelsea is playing in 1 of the first 2 games on Day 1 in Matchday 4 so we will get to see their starting lineup before locking in our teams. I will target Chelsea players against Malmo as long as there are no injury concerns in my team.
Limitless – Current plan is to play the Limitless Chip  in Matchday 5 however Matchday 4 is tempting.
I will make sure to post my final team on my <a href="https://twitter.com/kwolf_ff">Twitter</a> account before the deadline.
