#2 Philippe Coutinho
Someone needs to step up for Barca in Messi's absence and we wager it to be Philippe Coutinho. Playing Internazionale at home this week, Barcelona are top of the group and full of goals after scoring 4 of each in their opening games.
Coutinho scored for the team in their weekend game in LaLiga and currently has 3 goals in the league while grabbing a goal and an assist in their previous game against Spurs. Inter, on the other hand, are running high on confidence after winning a gruelling Milan derby but it would still be something else to expect them to get one over the Blaugrana at the Camp Nou.
Coutinho is available in midfield and comes in at a price of €8.5. He is also the highest selected midfielder in the game with 35% ownership. So if he scores and you don't have him in your team, it would set you back against a good majority of the Fantasy population.
