FORWARDS/MIDFIELDERS
Lionel Messi, BAR v. DOR ($24): Messi doesn't have the best odds to score, but I wouldn't expect him to repeat what he did against Slavia Prague in his last Champions League match when he had no goals or assists. Including that match, he's made the score-sheet in nine of his last 10 appearances in all competitions, and he has five goals and two assists in his last two home league starts. Borussia Dortmund have allowed nine goals in their last three matches in all competitions and gave up two to Inter in their last UCL away game. You could stack Messi with Luis Suarez ($22) and hope they combine for three goals or test the waters with Liverpool. The Reds are the biggest favorite, but if you go with Sadio Mane ($22), it also makes sense to grab Mohamed Salah ($20) or Roberto Firmino ($19). While Mane has the better floor, Salah is more likely to score as the penalty taker.
Timo Werner, LEI v. BEN ($20): Werner has the best odds to score on the slate, but there's a chance he isn't as popular as he should be given the options
