Virgil van Dijk
Fixture: Southampton v Sunderland
Price: 5.5m
Selected by: 11.6%
Southampton failed to keep a clean sheet in their first two games of the season, but that should change on Saturday when Sunderland visit.
The last time the Black Cats won a league game in August was in 2010, and it looks like it's going to be a long season for David Moyes' side.
Virgil van Dijk is the pick of Southampton's defenders, and a threat from set-pieces. At 5.5m he's an affordable addition to your team, and one who should come in handy over the course of the season, but particularly when Saints host teams battling relegation.
If you're looking for a cheaper option from Southampton's defence, Matt Targett is valued at just 4.5m and started both league games so far this season.
Salomon Rondon
Fixture: West Brom v Middlesbrough
Price: 6.5m
Selected by: 3.7%
The West Brom striker has 10 points so far this season, and scored on the opening day of the season. Middlesbrough have also failed to keep a clean sheet this season. If you're looking for a striker outside of the obvious big name players, Rondon could be worth a punt.
The away side will most likely dominate possession, but West Brom should be a threat from set-pieces.
Baggies' goalkeeper Ben Foster also looks to be great value at just 4.5m.
