Who were the best Fantasy performers on Matchday 3?
Catarina Macario (€5.5m)
The Chelsea forward picked up her first Fantasy points with a Player of the Match performance, scoring twice in a 6-0 victory at St. Pölten, which earned her the biggest Matchday 3 total of any player with 17 points.
Klara Bühl (€8.5m)
The German midfielder contributed three assists in Bayern’s stunning second-half comeback against Arsenal, scoring 15 Fantasy points including three for being named Player of the Match — elevating her to second in the Fantasy rankings.
Irene Paredes (€5.5m)
The Barcelona defender also added 15 points to her Fantasy total by scoring a goal, recovering nine balls and recording a clean sheet against previously unbeaten OH Leuven.
Ada Hegerberg (€9.0m)
The Women’s Champions League’s all-time top scorer added two more goals to her tally in a Player of the Match display for OL Lyonnes that kept the eight-time champions perfect in a 3-1 defeat of Wolfsburg and contributed 13 Fantasy points to her total.
Stine Brekken (€6.9m)
The midfielder’s spectacular strike against Roma gave Vålerenga their first-ever league phase win and earned Brekken an additional Fantasy point as a goal scored from outside the box — delivering her 13 points in total.
Key players to look out for on Matchday 4
Tove Enblom (€5.0m)
The joint-second highest-scoring goalkeeper kept her first clean sheet of the campaign for Vålerenga on Matchday 3 and has made 15 saves to boost her Fantasy total to 13. She next faces a St. Pölten side that have yet to score in the league phase.
Jayde Riviere (€5.0m)
Manchester United are one of three teams to only concede one goal in the opening three games, and right-back Riviere has gained points from two clean sheets and 14 ball recoveries. Her assist and Player of the Match performance against Paris Saint-Germain last week took her points total to 23.
Caroline Weir (€5.2m)

Alexia Putellas (€10.2m)
The two-time Ballon d’Or winner continues to top the Fantasy rankings, after finding the net again for Barcelona against OH Leuven to boost her tally to 31 points and join Alba Redondo (€5.8m), Weir and Hegerberg on three goals in this campaign.
Mariona Caldentey (€8.0m)
The Arsenal midfielder is set to face the team she scored against in last season’s quarter-finals, Real Madrid, and comes into Matchday 4 on 18 Fantasy points after scoring her first of the league phase from outside the box against Bayern.
