Steve Mounie, Forward, Huddersfield

Salary: $8,000

It's now or never for Huddersfield as they look to kickstart a long and unlikely climb out of the relegation zone following their appointment of new manager Jan Siewert. While Huddersfield's results have been miserable, Steve Mounie has done surprisingly well given the circumstances. With the exception of his 5.0-FanDuel-point performance against Manchester City last weekend and his early red card against Brighton in December, Mounie has reached double-digit fantasy points in each of his last nine matches.

During that stretch, Mounie failed to record a shot on goal only once, when he received the aforementioned red card in the 32nd minute against Brighton. He has placed 13 shots on goal, including six over his last four matches, and has also recorded two assists and created 10 chances. He has been a lone bright spot in a Huddersfield attack that has managed just 13 goals in the Premier League this season, the fewest of any team.

Thankfully, Siewert will get to start his work at Huddersfield against a team whose own manager is on the hot seat in Everton. The Toffees have won just two of their last 10 Premier League matches and were eliminated from the FA Cup by Championship side Millwall on Saturday. They have conceded five goals in their last two matches across all competitions -- two to Southampton and three to Millwall -- and are fortunate to not be lower on the league table. It is an excellent opportunity for Mounie and Huddersfield to start off their new chapter with a home victory.
