Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Forward, Arsenal

Salary: $11,000

Aubameyang is tied with Roberto Firmino as the third-highest priced forward on the slate, and he has averaged 14.62 FanDuel points this season -- the second-lowest average among all forwards listed at or above $9,500.

The Gunners have a 73.3% chance of beating the Hornets, and the match has a 71.4% chance of totaling over 2.5 goals. Aubameyang has scored in two of his last three matches and has a 69.2% chance of finding the back of the net, according to Paddy Power. The Gunners have won four straight matches -- totaling 10 goals -- while the Hornets have picked up just one point over their last two matches.

Aubameyang has placed more than one shot on target in just one match while totaling five shots on target in six starts so far this season and will now face a Hornets squad that has played well against his position. They have allowed the seventh-fewest shots (2.09), fifth-fewest shots on target (0.67) and second-fewest chances created (0.88) per 90 minutes to forwards/attacking-midfielders this season.

Aubameyang’s top FanDuel performance of the season came against Cardiff City in Matchweek 4 when he scored 26.5 FanDuel points while scoring one goal and making three tackles. However, Aubameyang has produced 2 performances under 10 FanDuel points while reaching the 20-point mark in just two matches. Aubameyang, even with a goal, has proven early this season that he does not have the high ceiling that DFS players will need to win large-field tournaments, while Harry Kane ($12,000) and Sergio Aguero ($12,500) seem to offer that ceiling in presumably better matchups.
