Tipster spoilt for choice

With only one Tuesday match this week in the UEFA Cup, UEFA Cup Fantasy Football managers are spoilt for choice, with players from 30 teams up for grabs.

AEK on top
AEK Athens FC players dominated the Dream Team after the first round of matches with Grigorios Georgatos top-scoring for the Greek side with 15 points. However AEK were unable to carry their first-leg form into the Greek league last weekend, and may find a repeat 4-0 victory over Maccabi Haifa FC hard to come by even in neutral Cyprus.

Porto promise
Running Athens close for performance of the last round were Portuguese league leaders FC Porto who beat RC Lens 3-0 and are arguably Europe's form team after five successive league wins and thee consecutive UEFA Cup victories without conceding a goal. As well as their stout defence, in which Pedro Ribeiro can carry a goal-scoring threat, look out for free-scoring midfield player Deco and top scorer Hélder Postiga, available for 8 million and 8.5 million respectively.

Luxury Lopez
Porto may be the in-form team, but S.S. Lazio striker Claudio López is the in-form player, even if the Argentinian striker's hat-trick could not produce a win against Internazionale FC at the weekend. The rejuvenated forward will set you back 10.5 million.

Milan menace
A cheaper option at 7.5 million is another rejuvenated striker, Liverpool FC's Milan Baroš. He has been in scoring form for the Reds this season, and, with Emile Heskey injured and Michael Owen struggling for form, he should get his chance at home to SBV Vitesse.

Banned list
Suspended players include Francisco Rojas of SK Sturm Graz, Aleksandar Rankovic of SBV Vitesse, Ilhan Mansiz and Daniel Pancu of Besiktas JK, RC Celta da Vigo's Henrique da Silva, Birger Maertens of Club Brugge KV, Ifeanyi Udeze of FC PAOK Thessaloniki, Frédéric Déhu of Paris Saint-Germain FC and Tiago from Porto.
