The hosts squandered a one-goal lead in their opening group game with Inter Milan as the Italian side scored two goals in the last 10 minutes to sink Mauricio Pochettino's team, while Barcelona made light work of PSV, dispatching them 4-0 at the Camp Nou.

Your Elite Player choice is a challenging choice, especially when all four have the capability to tally up a valuable points haul.. Take a look at the contenders and pick your Fantasy Six-a-Side team.

Harry Kane

The Tottenham talisman netted twice in his last outing against Huddersfield, which takes his tally to five goals in the Premier League season, placing him back in the hunt for the Golden Boot.

Kane has recorded nine goals in 11 Champions League appearances, so his form does not dip in this competition, despite only three of his goals coming at home during that time.

The frontman has created eight chances for team-mates, as well as winning 14 fouls and nine aerial duels, proving he can earn points from varying areas which could be vital in earning you the jackpot.

Kieran Trippier

Trippier provides a threat from set-pieces, which was demonstrated in the World Cup and taken into the Premier League season against Fulham, while having the ability to provide goals too, setting up Kane's first at the weekend.

Linking to this, the rampant right-back has created 12 chances this season, which is not bettered by another Tottenham player, earning valuable points in the process for Sky Sports Six-a-Side players.

He can pose a point-pulling power through his defensive duties as well, which can be reiterated through the two clean sheets he has attained this season, adding 50 points to his season total of 349, 10.5 points more than team-mate Kane.

The little magician scored a hat-trick in Barcelona's opening Champions League game against PSV, which added to the five he already has in La Liga this campaign.

Messi has notched 20 goals and created six against English sides in this competition, more than against any other nation.

The chances he creates and tucks away put the five-time Ballon d'Or winner as the obvious frontrunner in your Elite Player decision, with 45.1 per cent of Sky Sports Six-a-Side players recruiting his services.

Luis Suarez

The Uruguayan has registered three goals so far this season, while providing two for the Catalan outfit. Although Suarez did not get on the scoresheet against PSV, he created one of the four.

He has happy memories against Tottenham, being directly involved in six goals in his last three matches, scoring four times and coming up with two assists.

The ex-Liverpool man will be pivotal in earning the visitors all three points, and averaging 3.3 shots per game, why bet against the striker to claim one or two in this contest?
