MATCHES (EDT)

3:00 p.m: Liverpool v. Paris Saint-Germain
3:00 p.m: Galatasaray v. Lokomotiv Moscow
3:00 p.m: Monaco v. Atletico Madrid
3:00 p.m: Schalke v. Porto
3:00 p.m: Club Brugge v. Borussia Dortmund
3:00 p.m: FK Crvena Zvezda v. Napoli

FORWARDS

Neymar, PSG at LIV ($10,700):Neymar was rested Friday and comes in fresh for PSG's UCL opener. Liverpool are arguably PSG's toughest opposition in Group C, but Neymar has shown time and time again that he can produce regardless of opponent. He's the highest priced player but comes with double-digit points pretty much baked into rostering him, and he has arguably the highest ceiling of any player on the slate.

Jose Callejon, NAP at BEL ($9,600): Callejon is one of several appealing attacking options from Napoli, and given his role on set pieces he comes with a comfortable floor. Napoli are the biggest favorites on the slate despite playing away, and with fixtures against Liverpool and PSG looming, a win in Serbia will go a long way in keeping Napoli in Group C contention.

Sinan Gumus, GAL v. LKM ($5,900): Gumus is not guarantee to start, but with Emre Akbaba questionable due to injury, he could see an uptick in set piece duties depending on how the lineup shakes out. He earned an assist off a corner in his last league outing and his price helps save salary in a usually expensive

He earned an assist off a corner in his last league outing and his price helps save salary in a usually expensive forward slot. If Akbaba is fit enough to start, he's an intriguing play at $4,600 in the midfield.

MIDFIELDERS

Lorenzo Insigne, NAP at BEL ($10,200): Insigne took 10 shots and scored the game winner in Saturday's 1-0 win over Fiorentina, and he also chipped in with three corners. We'll want exposure to the biggest favorite on the slate, and while it may be a stretch to stack the Napoli attack due to their high salaries, mixing it up with multiple GPP entries is a warranted approach.

Daniel Caligiuri, S04 v. POR ($5,000): Caligiuri led Schalke with 10 assists last season, and he's a reasonably priced set-piece taker for a slightly favored home team. The German side has lost their first three Bundesliga games to start the season, but having been drawn into a winnable Group D, a good outing against Porto could be just what they need to kickstart a run of good results.

Youri Tielemans, MCO v. ATL ($3,700): With Rony Lopes ruled out due to injury, Tielemans pops off as potentially the best value play on the board. He'll likely have a monopoly of Monaco's corners, and while Atletico are actually favored, we can expect a spirited effort from the French outfit as their Group A draw gives them a fighting chance to advance.

DEFENDERS

Mario Rui, NAP at BEL ($5,700): Rui leads Napoli with 21 crosses through their first four Serie A games, including a handful from six corners. In a game where Napoli are heavily favored, Rui checks in as a high upside defender with a good chance at picking up both attacking and clean sheet points.

Alex Telles, POR at S04 ($5,500): Telles gives us a set-piece taker at the back, and while he's a bit pricey for a defender he comes with a fairly safe floor. With two evenly matched teams, there should be chances at both ends of the field, and I expect Telles to rack up crossing points through both set pieces and in open play.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, LIV v. PSG ($5,500): The defender position is top-heavy but lineup construction could leave us enough funds to pay up for the top defenders on the slate. While I prefer the two options above based on better matchups, TAA is no stranger to standing over set pieces and making his impact felt in the attack.

GOALKEEPER

Fernando Muslera, GAL v. LKM ($5,300): Galatasaray were given a favorable draw in Group D, and if they can take care of business at home they stand a strong chance of advancing to the knockout round. It all starts Tuesday against Lokomotiv Moscow, and considering Galatasaray's strong home record -- having won their first three Turkish Super Lig home games by a combined score of 11-1 -- there's reason to believe Muslera stands a good chance to collect both the win and clean sheet bonuses.
