Watford 0.32 0.27 Leicester City 0.39 0.30 0.29

Goalkeepers:

Kasper Schmeichel, LEI at WAT ($4,000): With Chelsea hosting Stoke, but also having on eye on a midweek duel with PSG, they may have a stray eye and fail to win a game that could prove critical in Europa League qualification. This leaves Schmeichel at an intriguing price giving up just 1.14 away goals per match while Watford scores just 0.93 goals per home game.

Joe Hart, MCI v. AVL ($4,500): City hosts the league-bottom and likely Championship-bound Villa. Despite losing their last three league matches, they are fully expected to bounce back, giving Hart a great shot at the win and a clean sheet.

Other goalkeepers: Lukasz Fabianski, SWA v. NOR ($3,800); Artur Boruc, BOU at NEW ($3,500); Fraser Forster, SOU v. SUN ($4,200); Thibaut Courtois, CHE v. STK ($4,300)

Defenders:

DeAndre Yedlin, SUN at SOU ($2,700): In 90 minutes against Crystal Palace at midweek, Yedlin contributed seven crosses, two fouls drawn, three tackles, one interception and the draw-clinching assist. Traveling to Southampton is a tougher matchup, but the American still comes in at a solid value-making price.

Brendan Galloway, EVE v. WHU ($2,400): Galloway will only come into the starting XI if both Bryan Oviedo and Leighton Baines are forced to miss out, but current circumstances say that's a very possible scenario. Galloway started the first match with West Ham and came away with seven fantasy points.

Other defenders: Geoff Cameron, STK at CHE ($2,200); Charlie Daniels, BOU at NEW ($4,200); Darryl Janmaat, NEW v. BOU ($4,100); Adam Smith, BOU at NEW ($3,500); Neil Taylor, SWA v. NOR ($2,800); Ivo Pinto, NOR at SWA ($2,600); Ryan Bertrand, SOU v. SUN ($3,900); Cedric Soares, SOU v. SUN ($4,500)

Midfielders:

Wahbi Khazri, SUN at SOU ($4,800): Khazri warrants play, almost regardless of matchup, until his price is at least $1,000 higher. He's hit double-digit fantasy in every game he's started. He's very active on the ball, tries to cross the ball extensively and simply finds a way to get himself onto the stat sheet.

Gylfi Sigurdsson, SWA v. NOR ($6,800): After receiving some rest, only playing 45 minutes during the midweek match against Arsenal, we get a slight price drop on a player who has averaged 20.2 fantasy points per game and had three goals in his five games prior to the Arsenal matchup.

Other midfielders: Kevin Mirallas, EVE v. WHU ($3,500); Ben Watson, WAT v. LEI ($4,100); Marc Albrighton, LEI at WAT ($6,800); Jesus Navas, MCI v. AVL ($4,100); Matt Ritchie, BOU at NEW ($6,100); Robbie Brady, NOR at SWA ($6,000); Riyad Mahrez, LEI at WAT ($8,000); Willian, CHE v. STK ($8,000); Cesc Fabregas, CHE v. STK ($5,600); Tom Cleverley, EVE v. WHU ($4,000); Ross Barkley, EVE v. WHU ($6,900); Xherdan Shaqiri, STK at CHE ($6,100); Dimitri Payet, WHU at EVE ($8,100); Wes Hoolahan, NOR at SWA ($3,500); Nathan Redmond, NOR at SWA ($3,800); David Silva, MCI v. AVL ($6,200)

Forwards:

Max Gradel, BOU at NEW ($4,100):A forward-eligible player with massive peripheral stats, Gradel has accumulated double-digit fantasy points in every game he's started (two in the last two gameweeks, the other three coming all the way back in August). With Junior Stanislas out, Gradel has a firm hold on his starting wing position, and he will bring a very comfortable floor at his team travels to face Newcastle.

Sergio Aguero, MCI v. AVL ($8,600): Expect City and Aguero to rebound big time as they feast on the Aston Villa carcass. Aguero probably needs two goals to constitute this price, but there's a good chance he does so.

Alberto Paloschi, SWA v. NOR ($3,900): Paloschi finally got on the score sheet in his last appearance, and did so in a tough environment traveling to White Heart Lane. After a rest during the midweek, the Italian will look to once again lead the Swansea strike force and do so at home against a relegation endangered Norwich City.

Diego Costa, CHE v. STK ($7,200): If manager Guus Hiddink sticks to his word, this fixture should have Costa shifting to the bench to rest prior to the Champions League match against PSG next week. Alexandre Pato ($4,000) may make his Chelsea debut in his stead.

Other forwards: Jamie Vardy, LEI at WAT ($7,800); Romelu Lukaku, EVE v. WHU ($7,800); Raheem Sterling, MCI v. AVL ($6,000); Jermain Defoe, SUN at SOU ($4,800); Dame N'Doye, SUN at SOU ($4,000); Wilfried Bony, MCI v. AVL ($4,000)
