Ayoze Perez, Forward, Newcastle

Salary: $10,000

With the popularity of Manchester City's expensive options, other players with similar salaries are likely to go overlooked. At $10,000, Perez is $500 more than Marko Arnautovic ($9,500), $500 less than Romelu Lukaku ($10,500), and $1,500 more than Wilfried Zaha. He is also $2,500 more than his teammate Salomon Rondo, who may be a popular option due to his low price and his 55.2-FanDuel-point performance two weeks ago against Bournemouth.

Opting for the more expensive Newcastle attacker in Perez and saving salary elsewhere should create a more unique lineup. Despite only scoring one goal in his last six matches, Perez has only failed to produce over 20 FanDuel points once. That's an incredible floor for a forward.

After being crushed by Liverpool and Arsenal to start the season, West Ham have put together a string of decent defensive performances on the road, only conceding a goal per match over their last four. Newcastle had an awful start to their season at home, losing five in a row to Tottenham, Chelsea, Arsenal, Leicester, and Brighton. Recently that have turned things around with back to back victories over Watford and Bournemouth, two sides currently on the top half of the table. If that trend continues, Newcastle should have success against West Ham this weekend, to the benefit of Perez.
