Forward -- Wilfried Zaha, Crystal Palace

Salary: $10,500

In terms of top-end forwards, this is going to be one of the worst slates of the year. Sure, you can opt for Chelsea's Olivier Giroud ($11,500) or Álvaro Morata ($12,000), depending on which one of them starts, but it's not going to feel good dropping that kind of cash on one of them.

Zaha isn't a sure thing, either, but he's got slate-winning upside on his day. He tallied 9 goals with 3 assists in EPL action last year, averaging 17.0 FanDuel points per match. He ended the campaign in fine form, scoring at least 30 FanDuel points in four of his last six contests, bagging 5 goals in that span.

On the flip side of this matchup, Fulham's Aleksandar Mitrovic ($8,500) makes a lot of sense after he scored 12 goals in 17 matches with Fulham last season.
