FORWARDS

Mohamed Salah, LIV v. BHA (£27): Salah has made an impact on the scoresheet in consecutive games to start the season, averaging 15 points per game. He has the highest anytime goalscorer odds of any player on the slate, and we simply don't want to be caught without Salah against a Brighton defense that has conceded two goals in each of their two matches.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, ARS v. WHU (£22): Despite firing off four shots against Chelsea last weekend, Aubameyang is still searching for his first goal of the season. He's next in line after Salah for the best anytime goal scorer odds, and I think he breaks through at home against a West Ham backline that has already shipped six goals through two games.

Aleksandar Mitrovic, FUL v. BUR (£17): Mitrovic opened his 2018/19 account with a goal at Tottenham in Gameweek 2, and he's topped double digit points in back-to-back games despite Fulham being outscored 5-1 over that stretch. He's already fired off 11 shots, and there's reason to believe he keeps the production up at home versus a Burnley squad that have conceded three goals in each of their two away games played over the last week (including UEFA Europa League).

MIDFIELDERS

James Milner, LIV v. BHA (£18): With Sadio Mane (£27) listed as a forward, Milner checks in as the most attractive Liverpool midfielder in the player pool. He assisted in the season opener, converted a penalty kick last weekend and is averaging 13 FPPG to start the campaign. In a juicy home game where the Reds are expected to score goals, Milner should continue to have multiple opportunities to contribute.

Ryan Fraser, BOU v. EVE (£17): Fraser has nearly identical statistics to Milner, with a goal and an assist, and he enters the weekend averaging 13 FPPG. He should have ample opportunities to continue his hot start at home against an Everton squad that have yet to post a clean sheet.

James Maddison, LEI at SOU (£17): Maddison opened his Premier League account last weekend and will look to build on that against a beatable Southampton team. Maddison is at the heart of the Leicester attack, and even on the road he should be able to make things happen at Southampton, who have looked quite poor defensively.

DEFENDERS

Benjamin Mendy, MCI at WOL (£17): Mendy has started the season in fine form, with three assists to lead the Premier League through the first two gameweeks. He should continue to make his impact felt in the attack at Wolverhampton, who look shaky, at best, in the back having allowed two goals in each of their two games since returning to England's top flight.

Andrew Robertson, LIV v. BHA (£15): Robertson has played a key role in helping Liverpool start the season with two straight clean sheets, averaging 11 fantasy points per game and showcasing his abilities on both sides of the ball. Expect another strong outing at home against an overpowered Brighton team on Saturday.

Joe Gomez, LIV v. BHA (£14): Gomez is the cheapest way into the Liverpool defense. He's done his part to see out consecutive clean sheets to start the season, and while I'd advise finding the extra £1 to get up to Robertson or Trent Alexander-Arnold (£15), Gomez is a worthy option if we really need the savings.

GOALKEEPERS

Alisson, LIV v. BHA (£16): Liverpool's upgrade at goalkeeper is already paying dividends as Alisson has pitched back-to-back clean sheets to start the season. He has the best win and clean sheet odds of any 'keeper on the board up against a Brighton side that were held scoreless in their only away game of the season.
