Midfielder -- Raheem Sterling, Manchester City

FanDuel Price: $11,000

If you fade Aguero, you need to get exposure to City in midfield, and they offer a plethora of appealing high-priced options -- Sterling, David Silva ($10,500), Bernardo Silva ($9,000) and Leroy Sane ($8,000).

Each bring something a little different to the table for DFS -- the two Silvas have high floors while Sterling and Sane possess better ceilings -- so City have you covered regardless of what you're looking for. But let's focus on Sterling, whose penchant for goals gives him big-time upside.

Sterling was a breakout star on City's title-winning team a year ago, scoring 18 goals -- exactly double his previous EPL high -- with 11 assists in league play. So far in 2018-19, he's totaled three goals with one assist in five starts, and he's taking 3.0 shots per game, which is slightly more than he averaged last season (2.6).

He's scored at least 22 FanDuel points in four of his five appearances. Over his last three games -- clashes with Newcastle, Fulham and Cardiff, all of which played out in a similar fashion to how this weekend's home date with Brighton will likely go (read: City dominating the ball and generating chances) -- Sterling has racked up two goals, one assist, five shots on goal and eight chances created.
