Gabriel Jesus, Forward, Manchester City

FanDuel Price: $13,000

Jesus is expected to start up top for City, the largest favorite on the slate. Hosting Crystal Palace, the Citizens are 2.5-goal favorites with a 3.0-goal implied total as well as implied win odds of 88.89%, per FanDuel Sportsbook.

In a start in his last outing, Jesus netted a pair of goals on his way to 47.3 FanDuel points. He's started in only five EPL matches this year, but he's got three goals and two assists to his name. There's a chance he handles penalties if Sergio Agüero ($13,000), who has been dealing with a thigh issue, remains out. If Agüero starts, he'd be a great play as well, and Aguero would almost certainly take penalty duties in that scenario.

City have been incredible at home this season, scoring 33 times in 9 home fixtures, including 22 goals in their past 6 at the Etihad. With City a massive favorite, you've got to get some exposure to Pep Guardiola's side, and rostering their starting number-nine is a great way to do just that.
