Who should be my Champions League Fantasy Football captain for Matchday 15?

The UEFA Champions League semi-finals are approaching and Fantasy managers have some key decisions to make when it comes to captaincy on Matchday 15.

Bukayo Saka, Ousmane Dembélé, Raphinha and Lautaro Martínez could all prove to be strong selections on Matchday 15 of #UCLfantasy, presented by Playstation.

TUESDAY 29 APRIL

Bukayo Saka (€9.0m) vs Paris Saint-Germain (H)

On Matchday 14, fit-again Saka missed a penalty at Real Madrid but responded by scoring the first goal to set Arsenal on their way to a 2-1 success that completed a 5-1 aggregate victory against the holders. Despite only making seven appearances in the Champions League this season, Saka has produced five goals, two assists and two Player of the Match awards. Averaging just under eight Fantasy points per appearance, the midfielder has also already scored against semi-final opponents Paris Saint-Germain this season, in the Gunners' 2-0 Matchday 2 success.

Ousmane Dembélé (€8.6m) vs Arsenal (A)

One of the most in-form players of 2025, Dembélé's assist against Aston Villa in the quarter-final second leg was his tenth goal contribution of the 2024/25 Champions League and made it three successive European games in which he has delivered an attacking return. The Frenchman, who has already surpassed 30 goals in all competitions this season, is has also already either scored or laid on an assist against three other English teams in Europe this season.

Other options: Mikel Merino (€7.0m), Declan Rice (€6.2m), Achraf Hakimi (€5.7m)

WEDNESDAY 30 APRIL

Lautaro Martínez (€9.4m) vs Barcelona (A)

Martínez's ownership has been fairly low for most of Inter's campaign but has started to rise given his recent output. The Argentinian has now scored in five straight Champions League appearances, becoming the first Inter player to do so, and has eight goals overall in Europe so far this season. He has also collected four Player of the Match awards and is already in 10% of teams and that figure should rise significantly by kick-off in the semi-finals.

Raphinha (€7.9m) vs Inter (H)

Matchday 14 was a rare blank in an otherwise stellar campaign for Raphinha, whose 122 points overall make him comfortably the highest scorer heading into the semi-finals. Owned by over 50% of Fantasy managers, the Brazilian has 12 goals, seven assists and three Player of the Match awards in Barcelona's run to the last four and on 19 April registered two goals and an assist in a thrilling 4-3 victory over Celta Vigo, taking him to 30 club goals for the season across all competitions.

Other options: Lamine Yamal (€7.4m), Ferran Torres (€6.8m), Hakan Çalhanoğlu (€7.0m)
