Hector Bellerin, Defender, Arsenal

Salary: $6,000

Following their brutal start to the season, Arsenal's defenders as a whole are likely to go overlooked this weekend, which makes Bellerin an intriguing option for tournaments. With the focus likely to be on high-priced forwards and midfielders, the masses will be looking to spend down at defender, which takes Bellerin out of their range at his price tag of $6,000.

Despite playing against Manchester City and Chelsea, Bellerin has averaged 16.55 FanDuel points per match. He operates higher up the pitch than any other Arsenal defender, and is capable of taking advantage of a great matchup against a struggling West Ham side. Through two tough matches, Bellerin has two chances created, and a shot on goal. He should be able to add to those numbers this weekend against a West Ham side that has conceded six goals in two matches, the second-most in the Premier League.

While Liverpool's midfield has excelled, their star striker, Roberto Firmino ($11,500) has only produced an average of 9.95 FanDuel points per match. That may lead the masses looking to Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ($11,000) if they pay up at forward. Opting to go with Firmino over Aubameyang, and rostering a combination of Bellerin and Henrikh Mkhitaryan ($9,500) over Liverpool midfielders is a way to gain exposure to the two highest-scoring sides on the slate, while avoiding the highest-owned players on those sides.
