Goalkeeper & Defence
Artur Moraes is the first choice in goal, keeping veteran Julio Cesar on the bench. Moraes kept 2 clean sheets and saved a penalty in the 5 matches he played in the group stage. Benfica have a new star in defence, a young swedish centre-back Victor Lindelöf (5.0), who attracted interest from many teams, including Mourinho's Manchester United. His CB partner is mostly Luisao, while Alex Grimaldo and Nelson Semedo are wing-backs. Both are also dangerous in attack and therefore good fantasy picks for a very low price (Grimaldo 4.0, Semedo 4.6).

Gonçalo Guedes (5.5) is the stand-out option in midfield, with 2 goals scored in the Group stage, while Pizzi (6.9) and Fejsa (4.9) are the other two options. We suggest to avoid other midfielders as it is unsure who will play.

The only player we suggest to consider is Eduardo Salvio (5.4), he has added 3 goals and 4 assists to his account already, while he is also the first choice penalty taker for Benfica. Other possible picks are Franco Cervi, Kostas Mitroglu and Jonas, however as they battle for one position alongside Salvio, we suggest to choose him if you wish to cover Benfica's attack.

We believe Benfica will find it hard to beat Borussia Dortmund and will end their season in the Champions league in the Last 16.
