Midfielder - Stuart Armstrong, Southampton ($7,000)

Armstrong scored 28 goals for Celtic in three seasons before moving over to Southampton this summer. He limped off last week, so he did not have a great debut. However, he is expected to be ready this weekend.

Before coming off last week, he took two corners and created two chances for his new team. Both teams are expected to score goals, according to the odds, so Armstrong should be involved from his outside midfielder spot. While he is expected to get forward, Armstrong has a lifelong 80% pass succession rate, showing his ability to move the ball up the field.

Everton gave up two goals last week to Wolves after going down a man, and they will be without Phil Jagielka this weekend. They also gave up 58 goals last season, the most of any team in the top eight, and their reinforcements from the summer signing window are not fit. Trends also show that set-piece takers are players to target in DFS, making this a good spot for Armstrong.
