GOALKEEPER

Roman Burki, SUI v. FAR: The Dortmund and Switzerland shot stopper has a favorable matchup with the Faroe Islands, though he may lack opportunities to make saves if Faroe Islands aren't able to get anything going in the attack. Burki comes slightly cheaper than both Thibaut Courtois and Rui Patricio, who also have favorable matchups with Estonia and Latvia, respectively. Burki is expected to start in goal but if he isn't, similarly priced Yann Sommer could be next in line for Switzerland.

DEFENDER

Raphael Guerreiro, POR v. LAT: After moving from Lorient in Ligue 1 to Dortmund in the Bundesliga this summer along with a bright showing in Euro 2016, Guerreiro has emerged as an upcoming star across the continent. His positional flexibility has certainly helped him gain playing time, as he has featured as a center midfielder, left winger and primarily as a left-back for Dortmund this season. Guerreiro is one of the

DEFENDER

Raphael Guerreiro, POR v. LAT: After moving from Lorient in Ligue 1 to Dortmund in the Bundesliga this summer along with a bright showing in Euro 2016, Guerreiro has emerged as an upcoming star across the continent. His positional flexibility has certainly helped him gain playing time, as he has featured as a center midfielder, left winger and primarily as a left-back for Dortmund this season. Guerreiro is one of the more expensive defenders on Sunday's slate, but Portugal's favorable matchup with Latvia makes him a safe play.

Thomas Meunier, BEL v. EST: In Meunier's last World Cup qualifier he scored 18 points on DraftKings after putting in five crosses, taking three shots and providing one assist in a 6-0 drubbing of Gibraltar. He has mid-tier value and is expected to get plenty of opportunities to get forward against a weak Estonia side.

Silvan Widmer, SUI v. FAR: If Widmer is in the starting lineup, he's worth a look for your lineup. He's been on fire for Udinese in Serie A, picking up an assist in each of his last three matches. If you are looking for a player who can offer salary flexibility farther up the pitch, Widmer may be a prime candidate.

MIDFIELDER

Ricardo Quaresma, POR v. LAT: Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne come as the most expensive midfielders, though Quaresma isn't that far off in price. In Portugal's last two qualifiers with Faroe Islands and Andorra, Quaresma crossed the ball 33 times. It's tough to ignore that type of production when putting together a lineup, especially with Portugal's favorable matchup with Latvia.

Miralem Pjanic, BH at GRC: Similar to Quaresma's role with Portugal, Pjanic is Bosnia and Herzegovina's primary free-kick taker. B&H's matchup with Greece is likely to be the tightest matchup in this slate, which will mean Pjanic will have to be up to his usual tricks. He has mid-tier price but is expected to be one of the top players in this match.

Konstantinos Fortounis, GRC v. BH: As somewhat of a shot in the dark, Fortounis could be a player who provides a pleasant surprise, as he has a goal and an assist, along with 17 crosses, in his last two World Cup qualifiers. In a slate that also includes Cristiano Ronaldo, Fortounis could be a play that allows for an expensive striker.

FORWARD

Christian Benteke, BEL v. EST: In Benteke's last international match, he banged home three goals on five shots, totaling 39 fantasy points on DraftKings. His value is totally dependent on whether or not Roberto Martinez picks him or Romelu Lukaku at forward. Lukaku is more expensive, but if Benteke is in the starting lineup he's worth of fantasy attention.

Edin Dzeko, BH at GRC: Dzeko is one of the hottest strikers in Serie A, scoring five goals and assisting another in just five domestic matches. However, Dzeko will have a stiff test with Greece in what is expected to be the most competitive match of this slate.

Admir Mehmedi, SUI v. FAR: After Karim Bellarabi went down in mid-September with a groin injury, there were question marks about who would fill his role with Bayer Leverkusen, and Mehmedi has been the main beneficiary in terms of playing time. He came away with the match winner in Switzerland's last match against Andorra and is likely to be in the starting XI once again.
