João Moutinho, Midfielder, Wolves

Salary: $9,000

Much of what makes Jimenez appealing for tournaments this weekend also applies to Moutino. At $9,000, he is only $1,000 less than Paul Pogba ($10,000), the same price as David Silva ($9,000), and $500 more than Leroy Sane ($8,500). He is likely to be overlooked in his salary range despite his absurd consistency in recent weeks. Opting for a pairing of Moutinho and Jimenez instead of Pogba and Rashford is a way to create a unique lineup with similar upside while saving a bit of salary.

Over his last six matches, Jimenez has averaged 24.13 FanDuel points per match, only slightly less than Pogba's 27.33 FanDuel points per match. Moutinho has achieved those results on the back of 5 assists and a remarkable 21 chances created, including four in each of his previous three matches. Four of his assists were to forwards, with two of them going to Jimenez. Over their past six matches, Wolves are the best non-elite side in the league and Moutinho's play in the midfield is a large part of the reason why.

Like Jimenez, Moutinho will benefit from Cardiff's recent defensive issues. Cardiff has been torn apart by forwards and attacking midfielders recently, allowing six goals to forwards and two to attacking midfielders over their last two matches. Wolves' recent stumble on the road against Huddersfield should give the public pause when considering them this weekend, creating an excellent opportunity to roster players with similar upside as United at a fraction of the ownership.
