      Juventus midfielder Diego has picked his team for Matchday 4 of the UEFA Champions League Fantasy Football game. Read his comments and pick your team.

      Gosh, last week certainly wasn’t our best. After bagging 55 and 48 points in the first two matchdays, we have only brought a meagre 29 home this time. There is always next week, I know, but we might need to shake things up a bit. None of my players were in the Dream Team – myself included – and that certainly also helps to explain why we scored so few points. I think it might be time we brought some new blood in, but I will wait another week.

      In goal
      I will stick with Júlio César [FC Internazionale Milano] between the sticks. As I said before, he is my number one choice unless there is some catastrophic loss of form, injury or suspension. To be honest, this is the position I worry about least.

      Adjustment at the back
      It proved to be a wise decision to transfer out Emiliano Insúa, as Liverpool FC ended up suffering another setback in the Champions League. I brought my national team-mate Maicon in to help out but then Internazionale got caught in the streak of freakish results, and drew at home against FC Dynamo Kyiv. Pepe will have another chance at the back, even though Real Madrid CF were beaten at home by AC Milan. The same goes for Dani Alves [FC Barcelona]. I am sure these guys will be keen to turn things around this week.

      A settled midfield
      On paper, my midfield formation seems ideal, but perhaps a rotation could bring more points in. I will give Arjen Robben [FC Bayern München] a rest and bring in Bruno Fernandes, in the hope FC Unirea Urziceni get a result against Rangers FC. VfL Wolfsburg were held at home by Beşiktaş JK, but I have decided to keep Zvjezdan Misimović in, hoping he will get back to the form he showed when Wolfsburg won the Bundesliga title last season. Michael Ballack can certainly pick up more points given his talents, and at least Chelsea FC are on a roll. I am also keeping myself in the team, not only because I love playing but also because I am Juventus's highest-scoring midfielder so far in the points list.

      No change up front once again
      Luis Fabiano [Sevilla FC] is my only player in the all-season Dream Team, so he will also stay around, especially because he has shown before that he never goes long without scoring. My Juventus team-mate Amauri and Zlatan Ibrahimović [FC Barcelona] continue up front as well. Once again, I will rely on their talent and desire to make an impact on my points tally.

      Diego's team for Matchday 4:
      Júlio César (FC Internazionale Milano), Daniel Alves (FC Barcelona), Maicon (FC Internazionale Milano), Pepe (Real Madrid CF), Bruno Fernandes (FC Unirea Urziceni), Michael Ballack (Chelsea FC), Zvjezdan Misimović (VfL Wolfsburg), Diego (Juventus), Luis Fabiano (Sevilla FC), Zlatan Ibrahimović (FC Barcelona), Amauri (Juventus)

      Substitutes: Vukašin Poleksić (Debreceni VSC), Valeriu Bordeanu (FC Unirea Urziceni), Arjen Robben (FC Bayern München), Luis Ramos (Debreceni VSC)

      Captain: Diego (Juventus)
