3 FanDuel Premier League Under-the-Radar Plays for Matchweek 4
Manchester City players will be popular picks, but Brighton's Glenn Murray could provide a nice return in a not-so-obvious spot.

Michail Antonio, Midfielder, West Ham

Salary: $7,000

Here we are again. After a summer filled with exciting signings and talks of a return to Europa League contention, West Ham is winless through three games with two goals scored and nine goals conceded. On paper, it looks bad, and while it hasn't looked great on the field either, two of their losses and seven of their goals conceded were to Liverpool and Arsenal.

Michail Antonio started against Liverpool and Arsenal and wasn't in the squad for West Ham's defeat to Bournemouth. In those two starts, he drew five fouls, created three chances, and put two shots on goal, leading to an average of 14.7 FanDuel points per match. Considering the opponents, those aren't bad numbers, especially given West Ham's lack of opportunities in the final third.

Despite their impressive tie against Manchester City on Saturday, Wolves should provide West Ham with an increased amount of chances to score. At home this season, Wolves have drawn against Everton and Manchester City, but in their lone road match they lost by two goals to Leicester City. Their result against Manchester City, combined with West Ham's early-season struggles, should lead to very low ownership on Antonio, who has been productive to this point despite two incredibly difficult opponents.
