Felipe Anderson, Midfielder, West Ham

FanDuel Price: $8,500

The top-tier in midfield is dominated by the City-Chelsea fixture, with the four most expensive players at the position coming from that matchup. There should be goals in the fixture, with oddsmakers giving it a 3.0-goal over/under, and there's gobs of attacking talent on both sides. In short, you'll want some exposure to the day's headline match.

However, it's hard to get a solid read on how that match will go, so let's drop down in price a bit to Anderson, who is in a delightful spot at home against Crystal Palace. The Eagles are fresh off allowing three goals in midweek action to a Brighton side that had scored three goals in a match just once prior this year.

Anderson is a volatile DFS asset, but he's been in good goal-scoring form, netting four goals over his last five matches. He offers a big ceiling -- going for more than 36 FanDuel points three times in his previous nine outings -- and he could go off with West Ham a 0.5-goal favorite versus Palace.

If you're in a small-field contest, Anderson's up-and-down DFS production takes him off the table, but with so many big-name stars at midfield on this slate, he could fly under the radar a bit, making him ideal for GPPs.
