Forward - Elias Kachunga, Huddersfield ($6,500)

Kachunga finally looked like he had his fitness during last matchweek against Manchester City. He was out for three months and slowly worked back into the starting lineup. The match against Everton will be his fifth start in a row.

Kachunga was employed in a wide attacking spot against City. He created two chances and drew one foul. Kachunga also tallied five defensive actions. All of those numbers are above his season average as he stepped up to the challenge versus one of the best teams in the league.

Everton have allowed five goals in their past two matches, including three to lower-level Millwall over the weekend. Everton allowed six shots on target by Huddersfield in their first match this season. Huddersfield were aggressive and created six chances from open play.

As has been the theme, there are few value options at forward. Huddersfield has a new manager that favors attacking formations. Jan SIewart may favor a 4-3-3 with Kachunga in the front three. Siewart will have other options as he learns his personnel, but all of the Huddersfield forwards are value options. Kachunga's recent playing time should give him first shot in the new attacking formation.
