Ruben Neves, Midfielder, Wolves

Salary: $7,500

With nine points earned through their first six matches, good for 10th place in the Premier League, Wolves start to the season has been impressive. In those six matches, they have only a single loss and have managed ties against Everton, Manchester City, and Manchester United. Through that difficult stretch, Neves has averaged 17.17 FanDuel points per match despite having only one goal and one assist.

This is a potential offensive breakout game for Wolves against a Southampton side that has a single win through six matches and has allowed five goals in their last two matches. The only sides Southampton have played closely are Burnley, Crystal Palace, and Brighton. They have been beaten by Leicester City, Liverpool, and Everton. Based on their current form, Wolves will be arguably the second-best team Southampton have faced this season.

Wolves haven't failed to score in a home game yet this year, netting twice against Everton and once apiece against Manchester City and Burnley. Neves has also been at his best at home, with FanDuel performances of 32.6, 17.3, and 18.9 points. Going back to their domination of the Championship last season, Wolves averaged two goals per home match, which bodes well for Neves.

At his salary of only $7,500, there is a chance that Neves is popular this weekend, but with Leroy Sane ($8,000) and Richarlison ($8,000) only $500 more, it is more likely that he sneaks under the radar in an excellent spot.
