PLAYER RECOMMENDATIONS

GOALKEEPER

Rui Patricio, SPO v. LEG: Patricio is the second-highest priced goalkeeper on DraftKings, with Lisbon tabbed as the biggest home favorite. Sporting are viewing their home opener against Legia Warszawa as a must-win if they are to keep pace with Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmond in Group F. Five points for the win bonus looks automatic, with a strong possibility of another easy five points from a clean sheet.

Adrian Semper, DIN v. JUV: A game against Italian giants Juventus looks to be a daunting task, but if Dinamo Zagreb are to

PLAYER RECOMMENDATIONS

GOALKEEPER

Rui Patricio, SPO v. LEG: Patricio is the second-highest priced goalkeeper on DraftKings, with Lisbon tabbed as the biggest home favorite. Sporting are viewing their home opener against Legia Warszawa as a must-win if they are to keep pace with Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmond in Group F. Five points for the win bonus looks automatic, with a strong possibility of another easy five points from a clean sheet.

Adrian Semper, DIN v. JUV: A game against Italian giants Juventus looks to be a daunting task, but if Dinamo Zagreb are to make a game of it they will have to rely on their 18-year-old shot stopper. Semper is the cheapest home goalkeeper on the board and could pay off his salary in saves alone even if he concedes.

DEFENDER

Raphael Guerreiro, DOR v. RMD: Here we have a player that is listed as a defender on DraftKings but is actually playing in an attacking role. Guerreiro scored a goal and assisted on another in Dortmond's Champions League opener two weeks ago and opened his 2016 Bundesliga account on Friday with a nice goal to cap off a 3-1 win over Freiburg.

Maciej Rybus, LYO at SEV: Rybus hit 20 points in Lyon's opening 3-0 Champions League win over Dinamo Zagreb, without a goal or an assist. He had five crosses, five interceptions, five tackles won, three shots and three fouls drawn, highlighting his ability to collect fantasy points across the board.

Ludwig Augustinsson, COP v. BRU: Augustinsson is among the rare breed of defenders who take corners. He has 24 crosses in three Champions League appearances this season, good for a cash-game worthy 10 fantasy points per game.

MIDFIELDER

Nabil Fekir, LYO at SEV: Fekir looks to be in line to make his Champions League debut Tuesday, and he has taken four shots in back-to-back Ligue 1 contests. He scored twice and swung in eight crosses in his return from injury two games ago and his set-piece duties plant him firmly on the radar at either the midfield or forward slot.

Bruno Cesar, SPI v. LEG: Sporting are the heaviest favorite on the slate and their set-piece taker is available at a reasonable mid-range salary on DraftKings. Cesar looked dangerous two weeks ago, scoring a goal and finishing with 21 points at Real Madrid to kickstart his Champions League campaign.

Alan Dzagoev, CSK v. TOT: Lump Dzagoev in with the middle-of-the-pack midfielders who take set pieces. He had seven crosses, four interceptions and scored on his lone shot to end on 22 points in Moscow's Champions League opening draw. He'll be a popular play given his recent performance paired with a reasonable salary.

FORWARD

Cristiano Ronaldo, RMD at DOR: Ronaldo is off to a slow start to the season by his standards, with just one goal in three La Liga appearances. He did notch his Champions League leading 94th goal off a scintillating free kick to open his 2016 UCL account two weeks ago, and a game at Borussia Dortmund, where goals are projected, plays into Ronaldo's fantasy appeal as he goes in search of his 95th.

Paulo Dybala, JUV at DIN: Juventus are big favorites to get the job done at Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday, and after seeing Zagreb get picked apart by Lyon, exposure to the Juve attack is advised. Dybala has a near double-digit floor from shots and crosses alone, and it's always a plus when you're getting corner kick points from a forward.

Heung-Min Son, TOT at CSK: No Harry Kane, no problem. Son is lighting up the stat sheet in the Premier League, with four goals on 14 shots and 26 crosses over his last three games. He's averaged over 30 fantasy points per game during that time, and for the price he's well worth a roster spot on Tuesday in hopes of his hot domestic form carrying over to Champions League play.
