With the second Fantasy Premier League Wildcard available, The Scout reviews the top targets to consider for the chip.
Virgil van Dijk (LIV) £5.4m
Liverpool’s record signing is expected to become a mainstay in Jurgen Klopp’s back four over the remainder of the season.
The Reds have already kept nine clean sheets, while only Manchester City (46) and Chelsea (58) have allowed fewer shots on target than Klopp’s defence (63).
A goal threat at set-plays, as he showed in the FA Cup on Friday, Van Dijk is poised for a testing Premier League debut for Liverpool against Man City on 14 January in Gameweek 23.
But that is followed by a run of favourable fixtures.
Five of Liverpool's six opponents thereafter score just two in the Fixture Difficulty Rankings from Gameweek 24 onwards.
