MATCHES (ET) FORWARDS Raphinha, LEE v. SHU (£28): There are a couple more coveted and expensive forward options in Mohamed Salah (£30) and Raheem Sterling (£29) but Raphinha‘s matchup against Sheffield United and his consistent production make him a more viable option. He’s finished with at least 9.35 points in nine of his past 11 appearances and his value is held up due to his set-piece duties. An alternative to Raphinha in Leeds United’s attack is Patrick Bamford (£24), who has the top… Source link

MATCHES (EST) FORWARDS Robert Lewandowski, FCB vs. LAZ (€32): Lewandowski continues to pile up video game-like numbers, scoring at least one goal in an unfathomable 15 of his last 16 appearances. He has the best goal-scoring odds of any player on the slate by a wide margin, and while Lazio will try their best to bottle him up, there should be little hesitation in making way for the hottest striker in the world. Ciro Immobile, LAZ at BAY (€30): Immobile hasn’t scored in six games, but he’s… Source link

MATCHES (EDT) FORWARDS Karim Benzema, RMA vs. ATA (€29): Benzema’s elite goal-scoring form has been on display, with at least one goal in four straight, including a brace in Saturday’s 2-1 La Liga win. It’s no surprise that he’s fired off five or more shots in five straight appearances, and with Atalanta looking to turn the tie around, he’s sure to see some opportunities to take advantage on the counter-attack. Sergio Aguero, MCI vs. BMG (€27): Aguero marked his return to the starting… Source link

MATCHES (ET) FORWARDS Gabriel Jesus, MCI at FUL (£21): Jesus has the third-highest goal-scoring odds of any player and should start for the biggest favorite. He’s been a bit feast-or-famine, though his feast has been solid, scoring three goals in his past four matches. Expect Jesus to continue to start over Sergio Aguero, while he should be flanked by a combination of Raheem Sterling (£29), Riyad Mahrez (£23, MID), or Phil Foden (£23). As mentioned, City are heavy favorites with an implied… Source link

MATCHES (EST) FORWARDS Lionel Messi, BAR at PSG (€32): Barcelona dug themselves a deep hole by going down 4-1 in the first leg, meaning there’s no other choice than for Messi to push for goals from the onset. Let’s not forget about the 2017 UCL tie between these two where Barcelona turned a 4-0 first leg deficit around with a 6-1 win in the second to advance to the quarterfinals by a 6-5 aggregate score. If they are to repeat that performance, Messi will need to be scoring early and often,… Source link

MATCHES (EST) FORWARDS Erling Haaland, BVB vs. SEV (€32): Haaland has been simply majestic around the goal of late, bagging a brace in three of his last four outings, and he’s contributed at least a goal or an assist in six straight. He went ballistic in the first leg, scoring twice and assisting on the other in a 3-2 win over Sevilla. There are sure to be fireworks in the second leg and that only means one thing: more crackers from Haaland. Cristiano Ronaldo, JUV vs. POR (€30): Whispers of… Source link

MATCHES (EST) FORWARDS Pedro Neto, WOL at AVL (£25): It’s a pretty ugly slate for forwards, mainly because all of them are struggling. Neto is the only one who takes set pieces, and he’s almost a must. Prior to the Man City match, he hit at least six fantasy points in six straight starts. and even as an underdog against Aston Villa, he should get plenty of opportunities in a match with the highest-implied goal total. Danny Ings, SOU at SHU (£24): Ings has the best odds to hit the back of the… Source link
