STRIKERS

Harry Kane, TOT at STK (€10M): Kane could be set to start after returning from injury last weekend. He'll be hungry for goals after missing out recently, and considering he's €5 million less than the other top forwards on the slate, we're getting him at a nice discount.

Danny Ings, LIV at EVE (€4M): Ings looks set to deputize for the injured Mohamed Salah, and he frees up a ton of salary at near minimum price. Keep an eye out for the first set of lineups and plug Ings in without hesitation if he makes the starting lineup.

MIDFIELDERS

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, LIV at EVE (€8M): Oxlade-Chamberlain scored a goal against Manchester City in the Champions League earlier this week and will look to carry that form over to Saturday's clash with Everton. At €8M he gives us exposure to the Liverpool attack at nearly half the price of the top options.

Georginio Wijnaldum, LIV at EVE (€7M): Wijnaldum has started the last two games for Liverpool, and while he doesn't do a lot to get excited about, at €7M he saves some salary while ensuring guaranteed points if he keeps his starting spot. With no late swap, it's a safe play to load up on values from the early game.

Solly March, BRI v. HUD (€6M): March has seen limited minutes lately, but he's projected to make his way back into the starting lineup Saturday. He's managed double digits on multiple occasions when given a full allotment of minutes this season.

DEFENDERS

Kiko Femenia, WAT v. BUR (€9M): Femenia turned up with a goal last week, and he's started in the attacking midfield in three straight games. He has another good home matchup and gives us more attacking firepower from the defender position.

Dejan Lovren, LIV at EVE (€8M): Lovren is a great value if he starts, as he can easily top 15 fantasy points through peripherals alone. We'll know if we can plug him in before lineups lock with Liverpool playing in the first game of the day.

Nathaniel Clyne, LIV at EVE (€3M):Joe Gomez is out, and with Trent Alexander-Arnold logging heavy minutes recently, we could see Clyne handed a spot start. Liverpool are positioned to advance to the Champions League semi-finals if they can stave off Manchester City on Tuesday, so I'm expecting roster rotation over the weekend to open up several value plays.

GOALKEEPERS

Simon Mignolet, LIV at EVE (€3M): Mignolet has been relegated to Liverpool's second string goalkeeper this season, and with a packed schedule it wouldn't be surprising to see him give starter Loris Karius a breather ahead of Tuesday's Champions League game. Be sure to look over Liverpool's starting lineup to see if any other values emerge thanks to lineup rotation.
