This specific contest requires pickng six players from the last matches in Group C in the Champions League. Manchester City look to bounce back from last weekend's derby defeat away to Dinamo Zagreb, while Shakhtar Donetsk are at home to Serie A side Atalanta. You have a budget of 55M and must pick six players in any formation, excluding a goalkeeper.

Riyad Mahrez (Manchester City) - 10.6M

Riyad Mahrez did not start Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Manchester United, instead coming off the bench to set up City's consolation goal, and it's safe to assume he will come into the starting XI on Wednesday night. The Algeria international is City's second highest WhoScored rated player in the Champions League this season (7.92), having played a direct hand in four goals in as many appearances (one goal, three assists). The 28-year-old is actually the club's best rated player in away matches in the competition.

Papu Gomez (Atalanta) - 9.2M

Atalanta know they have to win away to Shatkhar Donetsk and hope Dinamo Zagreb do not beat Manchester City to qualify for the next round of the Champions League. Key to their hopes of winning on Wednesday is talismanic figure Papu Gomez. The Argentina international didn't make the best start to their Champions League campaign but has played a direct hand in a goal in two of Atalanta's last three goals in the competition (one goal, one assist).

Mislav Orsic (Dinamo Zagreb) - 9.2M

While Manchester City are expected to beat Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday, they are not in good form at the moment and the Croatian outfit should be hopeful of causing Pep Guardiola's side some problems. City have kept just one clean sheet in their last 10 matches in all competitions and none in their last three in the Champions League. Looking for a Dinamo Zagreb player that could cause City trouble? Then look no further than Mislav Orsic, who is the club's topscorer in the competition this season (4 goals). Orsic has actually played a direct hand in five of the nine goals Dinamo Zagreb have scored in the competition.
