​Gerard Deulofeu, Forward, Watford

Salary: $11,500

Deulofeu is tied with Wifried Zaha as the second-highest priced forward on the slate, and he has averaged 13.99 FanDuel points per game this season. Deulofeu has scored fewer than 11 FanDuel points in two straight home matches, and his season-average is 12.33 FanDuel points at Vicarage Road compared to 17.30 in road matches.

Watford are the slight favorite against Wolverhamapton, and the match has a 59.3% chance of totaling under 2.5 goals. The Wolves have conceded goals in 13 straight road matches, despite conceding the third-fewest road goals this season, the Hornets have scored in four of their last five matches at Vicarage road.

Deulofeu, who has a 33.9% chance of scoring per oddsmakers, has not scored a goal at Vicarage Road since Dec. 15 -- totaling seven on the road over that span -- and his shots, goals and shots on target per 90 minutes have all increased in road matches this season. Despite conceding in 13 straight road matches, the Wolves have allowed the second-fewest shots (12.34) and fewest goals (1.23) in all matches on this slate while the Hornets have taken the third-fewest shots (11.65) in home matches on this slate.

While Deulofeu broke out for 53 FanDuel points in last weekend’s match against Huddersfield, he has scored over 16 FanDuel points just twice at Vicarage Road. Ayoze Perez ($12,500) is in great form and faces a beatable Brighton squad while Aleksandar Mitrovic ($10,500) returns to his home pitch in great form and faces a Cardiff squad that has conceded the third-most goals this season.
