Forward -- Cenk Tosun, Everton

Salary: $10,000

Projected to finish in the top half of the table, and possibly challenge for a spot in Europe, the Toffees should have a better start to their season than they did last year, when they were near relegation to start the campaign. Despite that outlook, they are a slight underdog (0.5-goal) to the Wolves at Molineux Stadium.

Tosun showed his uncanny ability to find the back of the net with a beautiful shot in Everton’s last preseason match against Valencia. Last season, however, he tallied only eight shots on target in 14 matches -- scoring five goals -- as he tends to be an extremely goal-dependent forward.


Tied for the fourth-highest priced forward on the slate, Tosun’s goal dependency makes him hard to trust -- especially in cash games. There are not a lot of great options at the forward position on the slate, but all the forwards priced at $10,000 or above seem to be in a better spot while Diogo Jota ($8,500) could be a quality cheaper option at the position.
