Aaron Ramsey, Midfielder, Arsenal

Salary: $7,500

When considering Arsenal players for tournaments, Ramsey should be at the top of the list. With Henrikh Mkhitaryan ($8,000) still injured and Mesut Ozil ($8,000) completely out of favor with manager Unai Emery, Ramsey has been tasked with filling Arsenal's central playmaking role. At a salary of just $7,500, he offers a massive discount off of all of the main midfielders from the Manchester clubs and may come at lower ownership due to the positive form Paul Pogba ($11,000), Raheem Sterling ($11,000), and Leroy Sane ($10,000) are in.

When looking for exposure to Arsenal, the public may look to their bigger names in the forward position and overlook Ramsey. Doing so would be a mistake. Ramsey's playing time has taken a massive hit since October, with Emery opting to start him just three times over the past four months, all against elite opponents in Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea. Ramsey hasn't had a start against a club outside the top six since September, but that might change this weekend.

In August and September, Ramsey was given a run of five consecutive starts and produced FanDuel point totals of 14.9, 27.2, 8.6, 25, and 2.6. His best performance during that stretch came against Cardiff, whom Arsenal play on Tuesday. One bright spot for Arsenal this season has been their home form, which has seen them score 26 goals in 12 home matches, the third-most home goals in the Premier League. Against a Cardiff side that is allowing an average of 1.9 goals per away match, Arsenal should be able to get back on track, with Ramsey finally getting his chance to be at the center of it all against a non-elite side.
