Alexis Sanchez, Forward, Manchester United

Salary: $10,000

Sanchez is listed as the sixth-highest priced forward on the slate, and he has averaged 14.85 FanDuel points per game, which is the second-lowest average among all forwards listed at $8,500 and above.

Sanchez has played in four of the first five matches for United, while appearing in the starting XI in three matches, including the last two. Despite having a 41.7% chance of scoring a goal, according to Paddy Power, Sanchez has only totaled three shots on target this season while not placing more than one shot on target in any match.

The Red Devils have a 65.2% chance of defeating Wolverhampton, and the match total has a 57.9% chance of totaling over 2.5 goals. The Wolves have played well this season against attackers, allowing the sixth-most crosses (2.01), fourth-fewest shots (0.72) and second-fewest chances created per 90 minutes to forwards/attacking-midfielders this season.

Sanchez’s top FanDuel performance of the season came against Burnley in Matchweek 4 when he scored 26.6 FanDuel points while recording four chances created and one assist. However, the Chilean has produced three performances of under 16 FanDuel points and has not been a huge scoring threat, and Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha is priced $500 cheaper.
