Goal.com Champions League Manager: Matchday Two's Winning Formation

The main thing to remember about Goal.com's Fantasy League Manager is that prizes are awarded for each round of play, and not just at the end. With that in mind, if you think you have what it takes to put together the best squad for Matchday 3 of the Champions League,sign up nowand see if you can emulate Dongahwan's feat!

Dongahwan's team has not only won him a fantastic BlackBerry prize, but it's also put him high in the runnings for the grand final award of a MacBook Pro when the competition ends next year.

It seems as though the would-be manager from Australia made some inspired choices: having Villarreal's Gonzalo Rodríguez as captain gave him a massive clean sheet bonus, while a forward line of Fernando Torres, Sergio 'Kun' Agüero and Emmanuel Adebayor racked up the points. Danny of Zenit St. Petersburg chipped in, too.

Here was his team, which finished two points clear of the nearest competitor:
