Caoimhin Kelleher, <\/b>Brentford<\/b><\/a>, keeper, \u00a34.7m – <\/b>Burnley<\/b><\/a> (a)<\/b><\/p>\n Brentford<\/a>‘s defence is worth investing in as they enter a very nice run of games, including Wolves<\/a> and Everton<\/a> at home.<\/p>\n And Burnley<\/a> have scored less than a goal per game at home.<\/p>\n Virgil van Dijk, <\/b>Liverpool<\/b><\/a>, \u00a36m – <\/b>West Ham<\/b><\/a> (h)<\/b><\/p>\n The Dutchman has 28 points in his past two games, much to the dismay of any FPL managers who sold him for Gabriel before Arsenal<\/a>‘s double gameweek.<\/p>\n Like Brentford<\/a>, Liverpool<\/a> also have a great run of fixtures and a match in blank gameweek 31 so, even if you have missed his recent points, a move for Van Dijk still makes sense.<\/p>\n James Hill, <\/b>Bournemouth<\/b><\/a>, \u00a34.1m – <\/b>Sunderland<\/b><\/a> (h)<\/b><\/p>\n Also making the team this week is “budget Van Dijk” Hill, who had his fifth straight return last week.<\/p>\n He has good-looking fixtures, he usually gets defensive contribution points, and is about as cheap as they come. Sign him up.<\/p>\n Plus, Sunderland<\/a> have scored only six goals away from home this season.<\/p>\n Diogo Dalot, <\/b>Manchester United<\/b><\/a>, \u00a34.5m – <\/b>Crystal Palace<\/b><\/a> (h)<\/b><\/p>\n Dalot is worth watching because he has carried the kind of threat in his past few games that is not showing up in the underlying data.<\/p>\n Dalot had a 12-pointer three games ago and is finding himself in some fantastic attacking positions at times without producing the final pass.<\/p>\n In five games he has created five chances and two big chances.<\/p>\n He has the United right-back position locked down, so offers security and upside at a value price.<\/p>\n Nico O’Reilly, <\/b>Manchester City<\/b><\/a>, \u00a35m – <\/b>Leeds<\/b><\/a> (a)<\/b><\/p>\n Since Pep Guardiola switched Nico O’Reilly into midfield four games ago, only Haaland and Antoine Semenyo have had more shots and big chances for City.<\/p>\n And it all came to a head with his two-goal performance against Newcastle<\/a> last week.<\/p>\n He does not really collect defensive contribution points in this role, like you might expect, but \u00a35m for an OOP (out-of-position) defender with a goal threat is great value.<\/p>\n Just keep an eye on City’s gameweek 31, which is currently a blank, and make sure you have a plan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
