⚽ ENTER OUR MOST REWARDING FANTASY TOURNAMENT NOW Liverpool are the likeliest side to keep a clean sheet in the Gameweek 3, according to the bookmakers, with a 65% chance of doing so when they entertain Red Star Belgrade on Wednesday evening. The Serbian champions have found the net just once in their opening 2 group games, whilst Jurgen Klopp’s side, although yet to keep a clean sheet in the Champions League, have not conceded a goal at Anfield in the Premier League this season. Andrew Robertson is a safe choice at left back and has already provided 3 assists this term for the Reds.

A club in crisis, Real Madrid (61%), rank second ahead of their hosting of Viktoria Plzen on Tuesday. Despite their torrid form, the European champions have kept clean sheets in 3 of their last 4 at The Bernabeu, whilst Plzen were thrashed 5-0 in Rome in Gameweek 2. Raphael Varane is the cheapest secure route into the Madrid defence, so he makes our starting XI.

Bayern Munich (52%) and Roma (49%) complete the top 4 defensive prospects for Gameweek 3. The Bavarian giants, like Madrid, are in somewhat of a slump, but have still managed to record shutouts in 4 of their last 6 away games in all competitions, and the bookies still fancy their chances when they travel to Greece to take on AEK Athens in one of Tuesday’s early kick offs. Roma, meanwhile, have only conceded 3 goals in their last 5 games, keeping a trio of clean sheets in the process. We opt for Mats Hummels, who has a goal and an assist to his name from 7 Bundesliga and Champions League appearances this campaign, and Robin Olsen, who has established himself as first-choice keeper at the capital club and is available for a bargain £4.0m.

Our bench consists of cheap backup options, with Ajax’s Andre Onana (34%) set to welcome Benfica to the Amsterdam Arena, whilst Galatasaray’s Yuto Nagatomo and Dan-Axel Zagadou of Borussia Dortmund (both 32%) offer us £4.0m options in defence ahead of home games against Schalke and Atletico Madrid respectively.

An appealing home game against Red Star Belgrade sees Mohamed Salah top the bookmakers’ attacking ladder, with the Egyptian given a 77% chance of adding to the 4 goals he has scored for Liverpool this season, 3 of which have come at Anfield. The PFA Player of the Year, our captain for the gameweek, was also on target at the weekend against Huddersfield, and he’ll certainly be looking forward to facing a defence with a solitary clean sheet in their last 6 outings, whilst the Serbian outfit also shipped 6 goals against PSG in Gameweek 2.

Salah’s teammate Roberto Firmino (64%) joins him in our starting XI as we double up on Jurgen Klopp’s attack. The Brazilian forward hasn’t scored in his last 7 appearances for club and country, but Wednesday’s plum encounter offers him the perfect chance to get back amongst the goals.

Karim Benzema (63%) and Jelle Vossen (43%) complete our strike force. Real’s French striker has notched 5 goals in 12 outings for Los Blancos this term, and they’ll be looking to him on Tuesday to help pull them from their current mire. Vossen, meanwhile, has 4 goals from 4 starts in the Belgian top tier for Club Bruges, who host Thierry Henry’s struggling Monaco outfit on Wednesday. The Principality side are on an 11 game streak without a win (D 3, L8) and have no clean sheet in 10 – a defence low on confidence that Vossen looks primed to take advantage of.

We also double up on the Real Madrid attack with the selection of Marco Asensio (51%) who, like his club, has underwhelmed this season domestically, but has fared significantly better on the international scene, with a goal and 4 assists in 3 appearances for Spain since the World Cup – form he’ll be looking to translate to club level.

Arjen Robben (42%) and Cengiz Under (37%) complete our midfield and starting XI. Robben has found the net 3 times in 6 Bundesliga starts for Bayern this season and looks set to profit when he faces AEK Athens on Tuesday, with the Greek side already having conceded 6 goals in 2 group games. Roma’s Turkish starlet, meanwhile, scored and assisted in Gameweek 2 against Viktoria Plzen, and he’ll have the chance to shine again when he hosts CSKA Moscow, who will be without their suspended talismanic goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev.

Taking the first spot on our bench once again is Shaktar’s Taras Stepanenko (8%), who could provide exceptional value at just £4.5m given he has already scored twice domestically for the Ukrainian champions this season. A home game against Manchester City awaits him on Tuesday evening.
