Forward -- Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Arsenal

Price: $11,000

We're spoiled with forward and midfield options this week, and it should help spread out ownership a bit amongst the slate's high-priced stars.

Aubameyang has had a pair of tough season-opening matches versus Manchester City and Chelsea. This weekend's date with a struggling West Ham side should be much friendlier, though. The Hammers have given up six goals through two matches, including two tallies at home to Bournemouth in Matchweek 2.

Arsenal are 1.5-goal home favorites with a 2.5-goal implied total. After dropping their first two matches, the Gunners have a golden chance to get rolling against West Ham, and Auba should be a central figure in a match that Arsenal will likely control.

If you're not going to get exposure to Liverpool in midfield, then Roberto Firmino ($11,500), the highest-priced forward, makes a ton of sense as the Reds are massive 2.0-goal home favorites versus Brighton. But Liverpool offer a pair of expensive midfielders who are awfully appealing, so it may be hard to pay up for both Firmino and one of the two guys we'll touch on next.
