Willian, Midfielder, Chelsea

Salary: $9,500

After being selected as the midfielder to avoid in Matchweek 15, Willian returned to the starting XI and produced 10.6 FanDuel points -- seeing his price rise $500 since his Wednesday match against Wolves. Willian has now scored fewer than 12 FanDuel points in three straight starts and should continue to get the start over Pedro.

The Blues have a 75% chance of scoring at least one goal, and Willian -- who has two goals and two assists this season -- has a 22.7% chance of finding the back of the net (down just over 7% from his last match), according to oddsmakers.

City have allowed just two goals in seven matches away from Etihad Stadium this season and have been stingy on defense. They have allowed the fewest shots (102), fewest crosses (170) and fewest chances created (81) to all positions this campaign. With starman Eden Hazard manning the other side of the attack, every player in the Blues’ attack always has a chance to find the back of the net, but rostering a player who is not in his best form against the best squad in the league may not be a great decision.
