Defender - Leon Balogun, Brighton ($4,500)

Brighton will likely be overmatched, but that usually bodes well for defenders on FanDuel. Balogun will be one of those defenders as he makes his full Brighton debut for the injured Lewis Dunk. He is another player with a high ceiling and has a very low price for a starting center-back.

Balogun was brought on last week after Dunk sustained an ankle injury. Balogun's potential comes from racking up defensive action points, and he knows that Liverpool is going to be a tough test. Liverpool are heavily favored and have continued their offensive surge from last season.

Brighton have the edge over Liverpool's attackers in aerial duels, and Balogun's 6'3" frame should be dominant against the smaller Liverpool front three during open play. He will be challenged on set pieces, but Dejan Lovren's absence takes one of the Reds' aerial threats off the pitch.
