Harry Kane, Forward, Tottenham

Salary: $12,500

Kane is the second-highest priced forward and second-highest-priced player on the slate, and he has averaged 21.01 FanDuel points this season. With a large number of the top-clubs playing on Saturday’s slate, DFS players have plenty of good options at the forward position, while this match is the only matchup between top-six clubs.

Spurs are a slight underdog against the Blues at Wembley Stadium, per FanDuel Sportsbook, and the match has a 57.6 % probability of totaling over 2.5 goals. Kane has scored six goals this season, including just one on his home pitch, and he has a 51.2% chance of finding the back of the net, per oddsmakers.

Chelsea have allowed eight goals this season, including just one away from Stamford Bridge -- although they have yet to play any super tough competition on the road -- while Spurs have scored more than one goal just once in four home EPL matches. Chelsea have allowed the third-fewest shots (102) to all positions this season as their back line has played well.

Kane has tournament-winning upside as he is always a threat to score multiple goals, but he has struggled -- as most players do -- against clubs in the top six, scoring just three goals (all against Liverpool) while taking 34 shots, with 13 on target, over the past two seasons. Kane’s selection to this list comes down to him having the toughest matchup among the top-priced forwards while most of the other top-priced forwards seem to be in plus matchups.
