Team Focus: PSG

PSG were on course to win their group but a slip-up on Matchday 6 when they failed to beat Ludogorets and therefore finished behind Arsenal. The draw was also not favorable to them as they will face Barcelona in the next round.

Goalkeeper & Defence
Alphonse Areola (4.6) is the preferred keeper and managed to keep one clean-sheet in the 6 matches they played and he also saved a penalty in the process. Serge Aurier (5.4) is the number one right-back, he managed one clean-sheet and an assist, but then Thomas Meunier (4.4) got his chance and took it very well, scoring a well-struck goal and one assist. Thiago Silva (5.9) and Marquinhos (5.4) are the centre-backs, while the top defender from fantasy perspective is Layvin Kurzawa (5.4), the very attacking left back, who also managed to get an assist in the Group stage.

 Midfield
Blaise Matuidi (6.6) was the top midfield pick from PSG in the Group stage, scoring twice and adding one assist. Angel Di Maria (9.0) is the other, more expensive option, scoring twice and assisting once as well. Adrien Rabiot (5.3) and Marco Verratti (6.3) are mainly focused on defensive duties and are therefore less appealing fantasy assets. New signing Julian Draxler is also surely one to watch as he is always dangerous in attack.

Attack
Edison Cavani (9.3) is the side's topscorer, netting 6 goals and one assist in the Group stage. The "Matador", as often called, is certainly a top pick as he is also in the Dream Team of the Group stage. Lucas Moura (7.0) has one goal and two assists, however we do not suggest putting him in your team as he is more an attacking midfield player and not a forward as classified in the official UEFA Fantasy game.

Prediction
The draw was not very kind to PSG and we believe they will find it very difficult to beat Barcelona over two legs. It seems like PSG will have to wait another year for a chance of UCL glory.
