Midfielders participating in Women's Champions League Fantasy Football, presented by Amazon, can pick up Fantasy points in several ways – including five for a goal, three for an assist, one for a clean sheet and one for every three balls recovered.
We look at a selection of the midfielders available to Fantasy managers at different price levels.
Premium options
Klara Bühl (€8.5m, Bayern)
Last season's total: 60
Bühl produced a record eight assists during last season's league phase, with three Player of the Match performances boosting her final tally. She also has potential to deliver Fantasy points from goals and ball recoveries.
Mariona Caldentey (€8.0m, Arsenal)
Last season's total: 61
One of last season's most popular picks, the Spain international reliably contributes in all areas and is the Gunners' regular penalty taker. Her two goals, 56 ball recoveries and four clean sheets helped her become one of 2025/26's highest-scoring Fantasy midfielders.
Clàudia Pina (€9.0m, Barcelona)
Last season's total: 34
The 2024/25 top scorer has consistently delivered goals and assists on the biggest stages for club and country – often off the bench – and is likely to be a key player in the defending champions' attack.
Caroline Weir (€8.5m, OL Lyonnes)
Last season's total: 51
Another 2025/26 popular pick, Weir's transfer to last season's runners-up OL Lyonnes could see her build on the five goals and two assists she managed in Real Madrid's run to the last quarter-finals.
Mid-priced options
Yui Hasegawa (€6.5m, Manchester City)
Last season's total: Did not participate
As Man City's tactical heartbeat, expect the deep-lying playmaker to accumulate Fantasy points for ball recoveries while serving up opportunities to her attacking team-mates to score from.
Jule Brand (€7.0m, OL Lyonnes)
Last season's total: 48
Instrumental in OL Lyonnes' run to the 2025/26 final, Brand can offer goals and assists (three of each last season) while also picking up points for defensive contributions (four clean sheets in 2025/26).
Vicky López (€7.5m, Barcelona)
Last season's total: 44
The 2025 Kopa Trophy winner scored twice and provided three assists during Barcelona's triumphant 2025/26 campaign and forms part of one of the competition's most attack-minded midfields.
Tatiana Pinto (€7.0m, Juventus)
Last season's total: 27
Pinto's three goals helped Juventus qualify for this season's league phase and last season's statistics suggest she is likely to pick up points from assists and ball recoveries as well as goals.
Elisa Pfattner (€6.5m, Austria Wien)
Last season's total: Did not participate
Pfattner's two goals in qualifying helped Austria Wien secure a league phase debut and she has the potential to pick up assist points from set pieces as a regular corner taker.
Low-budget options
Lily Yohannes (€5.5m, OL Lyonnes)
Last season's total: 35
A strong budget-friendly option who started last season's final and was named Revelation of the Season. Two goals, an assist and three clean sheets contributed to last season's tally, including a spectacular long-range lob which scooped an additional point for being executed from outside the box.
Kaja Korošec (€5.0m, Paris FC)
Last season's total: 38
A low-cost alternative whose 52 ball recoveries last season contributed towards her final Fantasy tally of 38.
Paola Hernández (€4.5m, Servette)
Last season's total: Did not participate
Scorer of three goals in qualifying, Servette's summer signing Hernández is making an impact in a creative side that averaged three goals per game in qualifying.
Caitlin Foord (€5.5m, Arsenal)
Last season's total: 29
Foord's main threat comes from her runs and crosses into the box – picking up nine points from assists last season – and the Australian winger offers a budget-friendly option, having participated in the final and semi-finals respectively the past two seasons.
