Gylfi Sigurdsson, Midfielder, Everton

Salary: $8,000

Everton's match against Wolves was anything but boring. It had an early red card, a free kick goal, and a brace from their summer signing, Richarilson ($10,000). While the brace will be what the masses remember, the red card had a significant impact on Gylfi Sigurdsson, who was forced to sub off in the 43rd minute as a casualty of Manager Marco Silva's tactical adjustments. After his impressive debut, Richarilson will likely be popular this weekend, while Gylfi Sigurdsson goes overlooked.

While his inaugural season at Everton was a far cry from his days at Swansea City, Sigurdsson started to make a larger impact towards the end of the season. In the 43 minutes he did play against Wolves, he sent in five crosses, and he should be heavily involved against Southampton this weekend. Were it not for the red card that forced him off early, it is likely that Sigurdsson is more popular going into this weekend. As it stands with the focus on Richarlison, he is flying a little under-the-radar.

Adding to his outlook is Everton's home matchup against a Southampton side that struggled to produce against Burnley. They allowed 16 shots -- 6 of which were on target -- and allowed 7 opportunities from set pieces. Set piece chances bode well for Sigurdsson, and pairing him with teammate Cenk Tosun ($10,000) is a good way to gain exposure to Everton while avoiding Richarilson's high ownership.
