Midfielder - Christian Atsu, Newcastle ($6,000)

Atsu has flown under the radar, perhaps deservedly so, on FanDuel. He is still averaging less than 10 points per match. However, over the last four matches, he is averaging nearly 16 points per match by drawing 9 fouls, creating 5 chances and recording 9 defensive actions from his central midfield role.

Atsu has started only the last three matches after a change in tactics for Newcastle. He continues to threaten the opposition keeper as his seven shots on target in the last four weeks are tied for the most in the league. Atsu also gets a chance on set pieces from time to time on a team that specializes in dead-ball situations.

Newcastle will face a Fulham side that have yet to keep a clean sheet all season. Fulham have conceded at least two goals in eight of nine away matches.
