Layvin Kurzawa (DF, Paris) – 45 points
He might seem a one-match wonder after that hat-trick against Anderlecht, but the full-back has thrived since the start of the season and, at €5.8m, is a good option for Celtic's trip to Paris.
John Stones (DF, Manchester City) – 33 points
The England centre-back (€5.7m) has also scored three goals and played every minute of City's UEFA Champions League campaign. His confidence is also boosted by solid displays in England's 0-0 draws with Germany and Brazil.
Neymar (FW, Paris) – 32 points
His price tag (€11.2m) is the only argument against signing Neymar. He has provided four goals and three assists in four matches and the visit of Celtic could well help him improve that tally.
Harry Kane (FW, Tottenham) – 31 points
After missing international duty, Kane is fit again to continue his stellar showings in this season's campaign. However, Dortmund are in urgent need of points and play at home, while Tottenham have already qualified.
Cristiano Ronaldo (FW, Real Madrid) – 31 points
Even when the Portuguese doesn't hit peak form, he can still decide a match with one or more goals. And with Madrid travelling to Cyprus in search of qualification, he's worth the investment provided you have the necessary €12.2m.
Dani Alves (DF, Paris) – 30 points
As with Kurzawa on the other flank, so Unai Emery's system gives freedom to his right-back, enabling the Brazilian to do what he does best: get forward to join the attack – and amass Fantasy points.
Alphonse Areola (GK, Paris) – 29 points
Paris have scored 17 goals and conceded none. Their goalkeeper has already produced 18 saves in four matches to rescue a defence that has been occasionally exposed by their ultra-attacking game.
Daley Blind (DF, Manchester Utd) – 28 points
United's three defeats this season (in all competitions) came when the Dutchman was an unused substitute. Usually sacrificed when José Mourinho opts for a three-man defence, Blind always makes his time on the pitch count.
Cenk Tosun (FW, Beşiktaş) – 27 points
Beşiktaş have bagged eight goals during their run to the top of Group G and Tosun has been involved in five of them (four goals, one assist). It is hard to ignore such a forward option at €8.2m.
Mohamed Salah (FW, Liverpool) – 26 points
Liverpool's big summer signing has already struck 12 goals in all competitions, with four in the UEFA Champions League. However, this week the Reds face their most testing away trip, to Sevilla, so the €9.7m might be better spent elsewhere.
Edinson Cavani (FW, Paris) – 26 points
The Uruguayan has been in superb form, leading the Ligue 1 scoring charts and with four UEFA Champions League goals already. His 32% shot conversion rate, one of the highest in the game, could be further improved against Celtic.
