FORWARDS

Harry Kane, TOT v. FUL (£27): Kane had a season opener to forget, managing just one shot, which was off target, en route to 1.60 fantasy points at Newcastle. Despite the poor outing, we can look past that and expect Kane to open his 2018/19 account at Wembley Stadium against a newly promoted Fulham side that shipped two goals to Crystal Palace in their opener.

Sergio Aguero, MCI v. HUD (£27): Like Kane, Aguero was kept off the scoresheet in his season opener, but he was still able to hit 7.40 points. Manchester City are big home favorites versus Huddersfield, putting Aguero in a strong spot to bag his first of the season with goals expected.

Willian, CHE v. ARS (£18):Willian was one of several players who got a positional adjustment on Yahoo, and he's now available as a forward. While he failed to register a shot in his last game, he stood over the majority of set pieces and earned an assist in the 76 minutes he was on the field. Arsenal struggled to contain Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez last week, and Willian should prove to be a handful as well in Chelsea's home opener.

MIDFIELDERS

Christian Eriksen, TOT v. FUL (£25): Despite failing to make an impact on the scoresheet, Eriksen flirted with double-digit points in his first game of the season. His role on set pieces always puts him in play in a good matchup, and a home game versus Fulham fits that bill. Look for Eriksen and Spurs to try to feed Kane all day.

Richarlison, EVE v. SOU (£20):Richarlison started his Everton career with a bang, bagging a brace and notching 24.70 points away to Wolves. He'll look to follow that up in Everton's home opener, and the matchup against Southampton isn't one to shy away from. Despite keeping a clean sheet in their first match, Southampton conceded 16 shots to Burnley, so we can expect Richarlison to get some looks.

James Maddison, LEI v. WOL (£16): Maddison had a tough matchup at Manchester United in his Premier League debut, but he still scored 6.95 fantasy points before being subbed off in the 63rd minute. He looked lively and with a relatively easier matchup at home versus Wolverhampton, Maddison jumps out as an attractive value.

DEFENDERS

Benjamin Mendy, MCI v. HUD (£17): Mendy proved his worth by topping 20 points, including an assist on both goals in City's dispatching of Arsenal last week. He's always eager to get involved going forward, and with City expected to put some goals past Huddersfield, another big point haul could be in order.

Serge Aurier, TOT v. FUL (£15): Aurier opened the season with an assist, and with Spurs heavily favored at home versus Fulham, he could be in line for another strong outing. There's a chance Kieran Trippier bumps him from the starting lineup, so just be sure Aurier is in the XI before locking him in.

Kyle Walker, MCI v. HUD (£15): Walker gives us additional exposure to the Manchester City backline and comes at a slight discount compared to Mendy. He has the ability to be just as involved in the attack, and we can expect Walker to by flying down the right flank with City favored to take it to Huddersfield.

GOALKEEPER

Ederson, MCI v. HUD (£15):Ederson opened the season strongly, shutting Arsenal out at the Emirates and picking up 14.50 points. He now gets a home opener against a Huddersfield Town squad that was held scoreless in their season opener, putting Ederson in prime position to make it consecutive clean sheets to kickoff the 2018/19 campaign.
