Cenk Tosun, Forward, Everton

Salary: $9,500

Everton's attack received a much-needed boost when Richarlison ($8,000) returned from his suspension last weekend. Unfortunately, he returned against an in-form Arsenal side that kept Everton off the scoresheet.

Now, Everton heads home to face a Fulham side that has allowed eight goals in their three away matches this season. This bodes well for Richarlison, who will likely be one of the highest-owned players on the slate at his oddly low salary of only $8,000. It also bodes well for the rest of Everton's attack, including Tosun, who might not see the same levels of increased ownership with the high number of elite options available in his price range.

At $9,500, Tosun is the same price as Arsenal's Alexandre Lacazette ($9,500) and is only $500 more than the in-form combo of Fulham's Aleksandar Mitrovic ($9,000) and Wolves Raul Jimenez ($9,000). Everton has a higher implied goal total than both Wolves and Fulham, and Tosun's odds to score are better than both Mitrovic's and Jimenez's. Tosun is likely to be the forgotten man in this price range, despite Everton's position as home favorites.

In the three matches Tosun has played with Richarlison on the pitch against non-elite opponents, he has two assists, three chances created, three shots on goal, five fouls drawn, and six shots taken. He was benched against Arsenal in favor of Dominic Calvert-Lewin ($8,500), but after the youngster failed to impress playing as a central striker, expect Tosun to regain his starting spot. While Richarlison himself will be popular, that popularity likely won't extend to Tosun, so consider pairing the two of them together for tournaments this weekend.
