PLAYER REOCMMENDATIONS

FORWARDS

Harry Kane, TOT v. BHA ($13,500): Kane had 49.75 fantasy points as the chalk forward Saturday, and he has the best anytime goal scoring odds Wednesday. He has a goal in four of his last five, and at home against Brighton isn't a spot to fade the reigning two-time Golden Boot winner.

Charlie Austin, SOU v. LEI ($8,000): Austin is in fine form having bagged a goal in each of his last three starts. He's registered at least two shots on goal in those three, and comes at a nice discount compared to the big name forwards on the board.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, MANU v. BOU ($7,000): He's no guarantee to start, but considering how bad Romelu Lukaku ($10,500) has been recently and factoring in the busy holiday schedule, it wouldn't be too surprising to see Ibrahimovic called upon to spark the United attack. In a favorable home matchup against Bournemouth, Ibrahimovic's salary opens up a lot of funds to spread out across the rest of your lineup.

MIDFIELDERS

Philippe Coutinho, LIV v. WBA ($10,500): Coutinho was given a breather Sunday, logging 12 minutes off the bench in a 1-1 draw with Everton. The Brazilian midfielder erupted for 53.25 fantasy points in his last start, and with Liverpool expected to bounce back in a big way at home against West Brom, he's sure to be highly owned if he returns to the lineup.

Son Heung-Min, TOT v. BHA ($9,000): Son exploded for 58.75 fantasy points Saturday behind a goal and an assist, with six chances created and three shots on goal sprinkled in. As with several players, he's at risk of roster rotation, but he's well worth looking for when lineups come out considering he's scored a goal in three straight and Tottenham are heavy home favorites versus Brighton.

Erik Lamela, TOT v. BHA ($6,000): Lamela has yet to start a game this season, but he's been eased back into the mix over the last few games. He hit 13 points in just 23 minutes off the bench Saturday, showing that even if he's given 60 minutes in a start he can bring a lot of value to a lineup at just $6K.

DEFENDERS

Trent Alexander-Arnold, LIV v. WBA ($6,000): Alexander-Arnold could be another beneficiary of schedule congestion with Liverpool having played three games in the last 10 days. While his starts have been inconsistent, his fantasy production has been just the opposite, as his average of 22.5 fantasy points per game is the most of any defender in the player pool.

Danny Rose, TOT v. BHA ($5,000): While Rose's fantasy production isn't quite as high on FanDuel as it may be on other sites that reward crosses, for the price he's worth a look given his involvement in the attack when he's in the lineup. He had 22.75 fantasy points in his last Premier League start, and a home fixture versus Brighton could produce similar output.

Cuco Martina, EVE at NEW ($5,000): Martina continues to rack up points through clearances, managing nine en route to 28.75 fantasy points at Liverpool on Sunday. He's averaging over 24 fantasy points per game since re-entering the starting lineup three games ago, which isn't too shabby for a $5K defender.

GOALKEEPER

Adrian, WHU v. ARS ($4,000):Adrian turned up with a surprise clean sheet against Chelsea on Saturday, and he's topped 16 fantasy points against both Chelsea and Manchester City since being tabbed West Ham's starting goalkeeper two games ago. Up next is another tough challenge against Arsenal but, for $4,000 and playing at home, he's worth rolling out again as a salary saver with the potential to log a serviceable score even if he concedes.
