FORWARDS/MIDFIELDERS
Neymar, PSG v. DOR ($23): Picking the correct PSG players is the biggest test for Wednesday's slate. I trust PSG a bit more than Liverpool in what is expected to be a higher-scoring match, especially if the Parisians grab an early goal. The main difference between Neymar and Kylian Mbappe ($22) is that the former takes set pieces, which is why he creates a few more chances when both are in the starting XI. The ideal move is to stack them to guarantee you don't pick the wrong player. If you only have room for one, Mbappe has more upside, averaging almost three shots on goal per 90 minutes, while Neymar has a higher floor because he's creating at least three chances every match in addition to similar goal odds. Mbappe has a sore throat and didn't train this week, so there's a chance he isn't asked to go the full 90. If you want to go another route, Angel Di Maria ($16) and Edinson Cavani ($15) are worth looks in GPPs.
Mohamed Salah, LIV v. ATM ($20): In truth, I'm not big on either of the top Liverpool players because neither has shown much of a floor, at least not in the same boat as Neymar or Mbappe. I was set to write about Sadio Mane
