⚽ ENTER OUR MOST REWARDING FANTASY TOURNAMENT NOW PSG are the likeliest side to keep a clean sheet in the Gameweek 2, according to the bookies, with a 65% chance of doing so when they host Red Star Belgrade on Wednesday evening. The Parisian giants shut out Nice at the weekend, whilst their opponents blanked in their Champions League opener against Napoli a couple of weeks ago. Gianluigi Buffon is suspended, so Alphonse Areola looks a great value option between the sticks at just £4.5m.

Juventus (62%) rank second ahead of their hosting of Swiss outfit Young Boys. The Old Lady have conceded just once in their last 4 games in all competitions, including a clean sheet in their Gameweek 1 win over Valencia. Young Boys, meanwhile, failed to find the net against Manchester United on the same evening. Right back Joao Cancelo has already produced an assist in the Champions League this season and, at £5.0m, looks like the best route into Max Allegri’s back line.

Atletico Madrid (54%) and Bayern Munich (49%) complete the top 4 defensive prospects, although we actually avoid the Bavarians expensive defence (with the funds saved helping in midfield and attack), accepting a 1% drop in clean sheet probability and opting for fifth-placed Roma (48%) instead. Diego Simeone’s men haven’t conceded in their last 3 games and host a Brugges side who have failed to score in 2 of their last 4 outings, whilst the Giallorossi welcome Viktoria Plzen, who have blanked in their last 2 on their travels, to The Stadio Olimpico on Tuesday night. A pair of goalscoring defenders in the form of Jose Gimenez and Aleksandar Kolarov make our starting XI – the Uruguayan netted in Gameweek 1 of the Champions League, whilst the Serbian left back has already struck twice in Serie A this term.

Our bench consists of cheap backup options, with Roma’s Robin Olsen (48%), having established himself as first choice keeper at the capital club, a bargain at £4.0m, whilst Mario Rui (18%) and Yuto Nagatomo (14%) offer secure (in terms of starting spots) options at the same price in defence.

TRY OUR FREE-TO-PLAY TOURNAMENT TONIGHT CASH PRIZES TO THE BEST MANAGERS! A plum home game against Red Star Belgrade sees Edinson Cavani top the bookmakers’ attacking ladder, with the Uruguayan given a 72% chance of adding to the 5 goals he has already scored in his 6 appearances for PSG this season. Rested at the weekend, he’ll be fresh and ready to potentially run riot against his significantly weaker Serbian opposition.

Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski (71%) and Paco Alcacer (47%) of Borussia Dortmund join Cavani up top in our starting XI. The deadly Polish striker has already bagged 8 times in all club competitions this term (8 appearances), which is a bad omen for opponents Ajax, who, even having kept 7 clean sheets in their last 8 games, face a significant step up in quality here. Alcacer, meanwhile, scored twice against Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend to make it 3 goals in 2 substitute appearances for BVB and has now surely earned a start for his new club. He should get that on Wednesday against a Monaco side who have struggled in defence this term – they have conceded in each of their last 7 matches.

We double up on the PSG attack with the selection of Angel Di Maria (57%), who is enjoying a return to form so far this campaign with 5 goals and 3 assists in 10 games.

Serie A pair Cengiz Under (49%) and Paulo Dybala (48%) are up next. Roma’s Turkish starlet scored and assisted last time out in a 4-0 win over Frosinone, and the visit of Viktoria Plzen, who have conceded 7 goals in their last 2 away games, offers him the chance to build some form. Dybala, meanwhile, has only scored once this season, but with Cristiano Ronaldo suspended, the Juventus faithful will look to the silky Argentine to carry them to victory against Young Boys, who have just 2 clean sheets from their last 11 attempts.

Finally, we also double up on Bayern Munich’s potent attack by drafting Arjen Robben (47%) into our starting XI. The Dutch flyer has scored in each of his last 4 home games ahead of another Allianz Arena outing this Tuesday against Ajax.

Taking the first spot on our bench once again is Shaktar’s Taras Stepanenko (13%), who could provide exceptional value at just £4.5m given he has already scored twice domestically for the Ukrainian champions this season.
