Jose Holebas, Defender, Watford

Salary: $8,000

Going into last weekend, the sheen had fully worn off of Watford following their excellent start to the season. A victory over an in-form Wolves side was a surprising return to form for Watford, who now host Huddersfield, a team that has conceded the third-most goals in the Premier League at 18, only 1 less than Cardiff. Similar to how Southampton's meeting with Newcastle may go overlooked, Watford may fly under the radar in this excellent situation.

With all Liverpool's stars likely to be popular, paying down at defender will be a common roster construction. At $6,000, Holebas is tied for the fifth-most expensive defender on the slate and should see decreased ownership as a result. Holebas has failed to reach double digits just once this season and is averaging 20.8 FanDuel points per match, with three matches of more than 25 points. He has 17 chances created in his nine appearances this season, and his 4 assists trail only Manchester City's Benjamin Mendy.

After his goal against Wolves, Roberto Pereyra ($7,500), Holebas' midfield teammate, might see an increase in ownership this weekend, but he has been nowhere near as consistent as Holebas. As an attack-minded defender on the second-largest favorite on the slate, Holebas is an excellent option for tournaments this weekend.
