​Anthony Martial, Forward, Manchester United

Salary: $10,500

Martial is tied with Alexandre Lacazette as the seventh-highest priced forward on the slate, and he has averaged 16.9 FanDuel points this season. Over his last six starts, however, Martial has played fewer than 80 minutes in three matches, failing to play a full 90 in eight straight appearances, and he has averaged 10.15 FanDuel points over his last four matches.

The Red Devils are a large favorite over the Clarets -- who are currently three points shy of the drop zone -- and the match has a 66% chance of totaling over 2.5 goals.

In what should be a complete smash spot for United, who have a 96% chance of finding the back of the net, Martial has a 55.6% chance of scoring at least one goal -- per oddsmakers -- against a Burnley squad that has allowed the most shots (411) and most chances created (325) to all positions this season. Despite scoring eight goals this season, Martial has contributed on just one of the Red Devils’ last nine Premier League goals -- an assist against Bournemouth -- while Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba have contributed 77.7% of United’s goals over that span while adding three assists.

With all of the top-priced forwards in perceived great spots, multiple goals will likely be a necessity for DFS players to have a profitable day in large-field tournaments. Aleksandar Mitrovic -- who has performed better on his home pitch -- is only $500 more than Martial while Rashford ($13,000) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ($12,000) could have the opportunity for a two-goal performance.
