Anthony Knockaert, Midfielder, Brighton

Salary: $7,000

This is a tricky fixture for Tottenham. Their defeat to Inter in the Champions League on Tuesday marked their third loss in a row (over all competitions), and while those losses came at the hands of far better sides than Brighton, Spurs haven't looked in rhythm. Now they get a road match at Brighton, where the Seagulls are a much better side, with only four defeats in 21 matches since the start of last season.

Brighton has a chance to take advantage of a disheveled Tottenham side, and Knockaert continuing his excellent run of form would allow them to do so. Knockaert has assists in back-to-back matches coming into this weekend and has produced FanDuel point totals of 27.5 and 19.5 in those outings.

He's been good against big sides, too. Against Liverpool and Manchester United this season, Knockaert produced five total shots, drew four fouls, and tallied an assist. If Spurs carry their current form into the Amex this weekend, Knockaert can certainly cause them problems.

After impressing in defense last season, Tottenham have allowed a goal in all but one of their matches so far this year. Brighton have scored five goals in two home matches this season after averaging 1.26 goals per match at home last year. On their current form, Brighton should be able to find success against another elite side after knocking off Manchester United at home earlier in the season. If they do, Knockaert is likely to be a big reason why.
