Genoa shot stopper Alessio Scarpi (10.96) has been in fine form since taking over from the injured Marco Amelia (9.23) but with the Grifone's number one (or should that be 32?) possibly returning for the weekend's home clash with bottom club Siena., he could be a better deal.

Livorno have only managed to find the back of the net a meagre four times all season, so it's a pretty safe bet that they will not do so again this weekend, when they come up against Bari - the most miserly defence in Serie A. Bari defenders are cheap across the board, so why not fill your boots with the likes of Leonardo Bonucci (5.28), Andrea Ranocchia (6.40) or Andrea Masiello (5.83)?

In midfield, Fiorentina's Marco Marchionni (12.65) may appear to be a little on the pricey side, but considering he's notched three in his last two games, he may be worth a flutter with a match with Udinese at the weekend. Or how Inter's reasonably priced Dejan Stankovic (9.17), who has proved his eye for goal already this season and could add to his tally in Sunday's home game with struggling Roma?

Striker Giampaolo Pazzini (16.25) has netted five of Sampdoria's last seven goals away at Cagliari. Get him now before he gets any more expensive. Ronaldinho (13.88) was on target from the penalty spot on Champions League duty for Milan, and considering the Rossoneri have netted eight in their last two visits to Lazio in the league, the Brazilian's worth a punt.

Sevilla players are a good bet this week with a home game against Villarreal on the horizon - Sevilla have won their last three consecutive league games against Villarreal, without conceding a goal and at home, Sevilla have won seven times when they have hosted Villarreal, losing once, with no draws.

Andres Palop (16.17) in goal and Abdoulay Konko (7.16) in defence are good value while further forward Luis Fabiano (16.67) is always likely to get on the scoresheet.

Real Mallorca may be doing well this season, but a trip to the Nou Camp will seriously test them. Barcelona have attempted the most shots on target so far this season (67), so why not pick a player from the Blaugrana's ranks, perhaps Andres Iniesta who is good value at 12.80?

Atletico Madrid's season is going badly. Very badly. But anything can happen in a derby so why not take a punt on Sergio Aguero (18.27), who was brilliant on Champions League duty, for the home game with Real Madrid?
