MATCHES (EDT)

11:00 a.m: Bournemouth v. West Brom
11:00 a.m: Huddersfield v. Crystal Palace
11:00 a.m: Stoke City v. Everton
1:30 p.m: Liverpool v. Watford

STRIKERS

Richarlison, WAT at LIV (€8M): He's got one of the toughest matchups on the board, but Richarlison continues to churn out respectable fantasy scores regardless of opponent. He hit 8.10 fantasy points at Arsenal in his last appearance, and he continues to get a healthy share of minutes.

Peter Crouch, STK v. EVE (€7M): Crouch has seen limited minutes in each of his last two appearances, but if he's back in the starting lineup he's worth a roster spot on The Six. The towering target racks up multiple points through duels won alone, and he's projected to be back in the starting XI versus Everton.

Yannick Bolasie, EVE at STK (€7M): Bolasie scored 10.70 fantasy points over 78 minutes in his last outing, and for €7 million he's worth targeting in this spot to help spread our bankroll around elsewhere.

MIDFIELDERS

Oliver Burke, WBA at BOU (€9M): Burke cranked out 17.85 points in just his second start of the season last weekend. He's no guarantee to start again, but on a short slate he's a name worth looking for given his fantasy production beyond just his assist last game.

Aaron Mooy, HUD v. CRY (€8M): Mooy has averaged over 11.50 fantasy points across his last two matches, and back at home versus Crystal Palace is another spot where Mooy should flirt with double digits.

Wilfried Zaha, CRY at HUD (€6M): Zaha notched 7.90 points in just 45 minutes against Chelsea in his last outing, and he's a constant attacking threat any time he's on the field. He's expected to be back in the Palace starting XI, and for the upside he comes with, Zaha is one of my favorite value plays.

DEFENDERS

Joel Matip, LIV v. WAT (€7M): Matip hasn't started the last two games, but he's projected to be back in the first XI on Saturday. He regularly eclipsed double-digit points in previous starts, and if he's back in the mix from the opening whistle he's in a good spot to get back to double-figure production.

Leighton Baines, EVE at STK (€6M): Baines went the full 90 in his first appearance since November, registering an assist en route to 11.2 points. He's no stranger to turning up with an attacking contribution, and euro-for-euro he's one of the best values on the board.

Kiko Femenia, WAT v. LIV (€6M): Kiko played just 62 minutes last game and finished with 5.45 points. Even in a tough matchup at Liverpool he's a double-digit-point candidate if he starts, and at €6M he's worth a flier to help free up funds elsewhere.

GOALKEEPER

Asmir Begovic, BOU v. WBA (€8M): Begovic had a rough go of it in his last outing, shipping four goals to Tottenham and ending with 5.20 points. Prior to that he hit eight points in consecutive games and, considering he's likely the cheapest starting goalkeeper on the board and facing the worst team in the league, a point per euro would be a welcome score for the price.
