Defender - Fabian Balbuena, West Ham ($4,500)

Balbuena started last week for the first time since December and had a solid match. He finished with four tackles, eight clearances, and three interceptions. He had 19.5 points, just above his season average.

That point total equals what Balbuena scored against Manchester United earlier in the season. In that match he had 10 clearances, 2 interceptions, and 3 tackles. It was an all-out defensive effort as he was unable to get involved in the offensive play. That will likely be the case again this week with Manchester United owning 55.5% possession at home compared to West Ham's 48% on the road.

Balbuena showed very little rust from a knee injury. It only took him a couple touches to shake off any issues. He averages the most points of any defender in the match and will have a chance to pad his stats with United running at West Ham all day.
