Robert Snodgrass, Midfielder, West Ham

Salary: $7,500

On paper, West Ham is one of the worst home teams in the Premier League, with only four points taken from five matches. However, their home schedule to this point has seen them face Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester United, Bournemouth, and Wolves; all sides in the top half of the table. Burnley will be the worst side they have hosted this season by a wide margin, and West Ham should be able to take advantage of that.

After three ineffective starts earlier in the season, Snodgrass has was an afterthought through all of September and most of October. However, since being given a start against Tottenham two weeks ago, he has performed exceptionally well and should make his third consecutive start this weekend. In his previous two games combined, Snodgrass has created six chances and produced an average of 18.75 FanDuel points. Operating as a central mid in West Ham's 4-1-4-1. Snodgrass has been heavily involved on both ends of the pitch.

That involvement has meant heavy defensive duties against Tottenham and Leicester City, but it should mean an increase in chances in the final third against Burnley. Burnley have allowed the third most away goals and total goals in the Premier League this season, and have allowed nine goals to Manchester City and Chelsea in their last two matches combined. West Ham certainly represents a more manageable challenge, but Burnley has only kept two clean sheets all season.
