DraftKings has seven games on the slate for Jan. 19, 2019. The full slate offers a lot of talent, with Salah, Hazard, Rashford, Aubameyang, Pogba, Digne and Holebas all taking the pitch. Alexander-Arnold is injured and reportedly has a 50 percent chance of playing — probably not worth the high price. It will be difficult to choose from such a tasty buffet.
Don’t forget that tomorrow — Jan. 20 — is the Super Blood Wolf Moon. If you like moons and such…

Burnley, M/F, Dwight McNeil ($6,500): McNeil has made just three appearances in the starting XI but has 11.9 fantasy points per game in that small sample size. His success has come against weak teams — West Ham, Huddersfield, and Fulham. Burnley will share the pitch with Watford who has given up the fifth-most points at home. As always, check the lineups to make sure McNeil is starting.
Liverpool, D, Andrew Robertson ($5,500): If you want to save a little money at the defender position, Robertson costs less than the top players but still offers value. Liverpool is a favorite to earn a clean sheet since Crystal Palace has scored the fourth-fewest goals. Robertson averages 8.3 fantasy points per game and is very capable of double-digit points.
