Karlan Grant, Forward, Huddersfield

Salary: $7,000

With the value that might open up as a result of Tottenham and Manchester City's squad rotations, a value forward might not be necessary for roster construction this weekend. That should lower ownership on lower-priced forwards across the board, as none of them are screaming values in matchups that demand serious attention. One who is worth considering for tournaments is Karlan Grant, as well as his teammate Steve Mounie ($8,500).

The matchup between Huddersfield and Bournemouth is one of the uglier on-paper fixtures of the season. Over their last six matches, Bournemouth has earned four points while Huddersfield has earned just three. Bournemouth's solid start to the season has left them in the middle of the table, nine points clear of the drop zone. Huddersfield, on the other hand, is in dead last, and desperately need to take advantage of a matchup with a Bournemouth side that has lost nine away fixtures in a row. It is truly now or never for Huddersfield and they should be the more offensively inclined of the two sides this weekend.

Karlan Grant arrived at Huddersfield in January from Charlton Athletic. After two appearances as a substitute, he has started each of the last two matches, producing four shots and four crosses combined. It's not much, but for Huddersfield, its something and they will likely continue to feature Grant in hopes that he can carry over the form that saw him score 14 goals in 25 appearances this season for Charlton. For lineups that opt to include the expensive, popular options that do start for Manchester City, Grant is a good way to gain exposure to a young talent in a great matchup who is likely to play 90 minutes at extremely low ownership.
