Marcos Alonso, Defender, Chelsea

FanDuel Price: $5,500

Alonso is an under-the-radar way to get exposure to Chelsea, and after being rested Wednesday, he should be ready to roll in this one.

As 2.0-goal favorites with a 2.5-goal implied total, the Blues are fully expected to dominate Huddersfield, and Alonso will likely spend a lot of time bombing forward. On top of that, he's got a great chance to get a clean-sheet bonus -- Huddersfield carry a mere 0.5-goal implied total -- and is still a primary free-kick taker.

All of that is the good.

The bad is that Alonso hasn't had a ceiling game since Matchweek 4, failing to top 21 FanDuel points a single time over his last 19 EPL appearances. His only appearance on the scoresheet in that span is a lonely assist back on November 4th. However, his floor has been decent as he's got eight games of at least 14 FanDuel points in that span.

His recent form could scare people away, but he's got the ability to go off in this spot, making him a perfect GPP play.
