Luka Milivojevic, Midfielder, Crystal Palace

Salary: $8,500

Milivojevic is far from an exciting play, but his production speaks for itself. He has averaged 19 FanDuel points per match this season, only failing to produce double-digit points once, and producing over 20 FanDuel points in four of his last five matches. With production that dependable, Milivojevic will never go completely overlooked, especially when Crystal Palace are favored like they are this weekend. That said, the other options in his price range are likely to reduce his ownership, with Riyad Mahrez ($8,500), Felipe Anderson ($8,500) and James Maddison ($8,000) all in decent spots.

Milivojevic's upside comes from his role as Crystal Palace's primary penalty kick taker. He is two for three from the spot on the season after going seven for eight last season. On the season, Burnley has conceded the most shots per away match (23), and maintained the fourth-lowest rate of possession at 42.9%. They have also allowed opponents to possess the ball in their own third 33% of the time, the third-highest rate in the Premier League. This bodes well for Milivojevic's open play potential in addition to his potential for a PK.

With the price discount available on Manchester City's midfielders relative to their forwards, they are likely to be more popular. That should lead to Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha ($8,500) being even more popular, and reducing ownership on other midfield options. Pairing Milivojevic with midfielder Andros Townsend ($7,000) and Sergio Aguero ($13,500) creates a lineup that runs counter to the most popular options from each side while still gaining exposure to their excellent matchups.
