Midfielder -- João Moutinho, Wolverhampton

FanDuel Price: $8,000

If either Mo Salah ($10,000) or Sadio Mane ($9,000) give it a go for Liverpool -- they are questionable -- they would be sweet plays with the Reds a 1.5-goal road favorite against Huddersfield. And if you fade Aguero up top, you can look to any of the stellar midfield option on Manchester City.

But in an effort to avoid this being an all-City piece, let's peep Moutinho. Wolves sit seventh in the table, and even though they are a newly-promoted side, there is absolutely nothing fluky about their start. Wolves sit seventh in goal differential (+3) and have allowed the fourth-fewest goals (6) while sitting eighth in shots per match (13.8). They are legit.

Moutinho has been one of their key cogs. He's started all eight EPL matches, and has a goal and assist while averaging 1.4 key passes, 1.0 shots, 56.0 passes, 3.0 tackles and 1.4 clearances per match. He does a little bit of everything, which gives him a solid floor in DFS. He's put up between 16 and 20 FanDuel points in half of his games, with a 29.9-point game on top of that.

A home match against Watford should give Moutinho plenty of chances to contribute defensively as well as in attack, and he's a great midfielder to build around in small-field contests.
