Midfielder - Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Arsenal ($6,500)

A season-ending injury to Hector Bellerin is likely to give Maitland-Niles his chance to become a regular starter in the Premier League. Maitland-Niles made his debut over four years ago and has been overshadowed at his preferred attacking midfielder spot. However, he said he is willing to move elsewhere to help the team and show off his athleticism and crossing ability.

Maitland-Niles entered the last Premier League match as Arsenal's first substitute prior to the Bellerin injury. In less than a half hour he drew a foul and recorded six defensive actions. He also had an impressive match against Liverpool in late December despite the loss. He scored 25.6 FanDuel points and tallied Arsenal's only goal of the game.

Maitland-Niles and Arsenal have a great matchup against Cardiff City. Cardiff dropped to the relegation zone last matchweek and own the least average possession in the league. Arsenal have won all three Premier League matchups between the teams while scoring at least two goals in each game. Arsenal are heavy favorites in this fixture with smart money on over 2.5 goals.
