3 FanDuel Premier League Under-the-Radar Plays for Matchweek 12
With Tottenham likely to command heavy ownership, other players -- like Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha -- could go overlooked. Which other contrarian options could pay off?

Wilfried Zaha, Forward, Crystal Palace

Salary: $8,500

Zaha is an intriguing option regardless of whether or not you're facing Harry Kane. Zaha hasn't scored since early September, but his skills and upside need no introduction. While the goals haven't been there in recent weeks, the involvement in the final third has been. In each of his last two matches -- against Chelsea and Arsenal -- Zaha has created three total chances and drawn nine fouls.

So far this season, Tottenham have gotten the results they desire, but the on-field product has been far from convincing. Despite being on top of the away table, Tottenham's defense has had some suspect breakdowns -- most notably allowing two goals to Watford and two late goals to Wolves last weekend. Zaha can create chances on his own and is certainly capable of punishing Tottenham's back line for any lapses they have on Saturday.

On a short slate in which goals may be hard to come by, Zaha is capable of justifying his spot in a tournament lineup, even against Tottenham. He can be included in lieu of Harry Kane or alongside him to create a unique lineup.
