As always, check the lineups page to ensure your picks are starting.
Goalkeepers:
Mark Bunn, AVL v. LEI ($2,500): Bunn may not be the goldmine minimum-priced Fraser Forster represented at midweek, but he is an opportunity to take advantage of a mispriced player in a matchup that is better than it appears. Bunn made his first start last time out against Crystal Palace and earned a surprise clean sheet on Aston Villa's way to their first win since the opening day of the season. Crystal Palace is a solid team, but this is offensive powerhouse and Premier League second-placed Leicester City we're talking about. Then again, Leicester have just one goal (from a corner) in their last four games. Additionally, Jamie Vardy is banged up and Leicester seems very susceptible at the moment. There's also a chance this pick is walking too close to the sun.
Kasper Schmeichel, LEI at AVL ($3,800): After a surprise win over Crystal Palace on Tuesday, Aston Villa now has a resounding two wins this season. They also have a minus-20 goal differential in just 21 games and a league-worst 17 goals scored. Aston Villa looks a little better of late with some added offensive spark from the creativity of the Jordan duo of Ayew and Veretout, but those abysmal offensive stats don't lie. Despite a lack of goals for Leicester of late, Schmeichel has recorded three consecutive clean sheets.
Other goalkeepers to consider: Artur Boruc, BOU v. NOR ($3,800)
Defenders:
Daryl Janmaat, NEW v. WHU ($4,000): For you those that lust for peripheral stats, especially the almighty cross, this is the game for you. West Ham and Newcastle both rank in the top four in crosses allowed per game. Janmaat is Newcastle's top crosser on the season. If he can put up six crosses at Old Trafford, his crossing upside is extremely high (as exampled by his 11 crosses against Arsenal the start before). The only serious concern with Janmaat is his temper, as he's fairly prone to cards of both yellow and red.
Aly Cissokho, AVL v. LEI ($2,700): Cissokho was quietly exquisite as Villa shut out Crystal Palace on their way to a second league win of the season. He contributed six crosses and six crucial interceptions. Despite Leicester's prominence, they actually allow the second-most crosses per game in the Premier League. A Bunn-Cissokho stack opens up a lot of salary cap space.
Matt Targett, SOU v. WBA ($2,200): It's unclear if he will start again, but after a masterful 10-cross performance that also resulted in an assist on the first goal at midweek, he sure made a strong argument to remain in the first XI. At near minimum price, Targett is close to a must-use if he starts.
Other defenders to consider: Cedric Soares, SOU v. WBA ($4,300); Ryan Bertrand, SOU v. WBA ($3,800); Aaron Cresswell, WHU at NEW ($4,500); Craig Dawson, WBA at SOU ($3,600); Virgil Van Dijk, SOU v. WBA ($2,600); Leighton Baines, EVE at CHE ($4,700)
Midfielders:
Dimitri Payet, WHU at NEW ($6,700): If Payet isn't extremely highly owned in your cash games, you should question the mental capacities of your opponents. Payet crosses a ton, draws fouls, takes shots, scores goals and dishes out assists. His floor is roughly 15 (as long as he plays 75 or so minutes) with a ceiling over 40 (as seen by the 40 he scored on Newcastle in the first matchup between the two this season).
Michail Antonio, WHU at NEW ($3,900): Just call him Payet light. Antonio has now hit double-digit fantasy points in four straight. He does everything Payet does to a lesser degree, except he may actually take even more shots on goal. How his price hasn't risen despite consistent performance, I do not know.
Kevin De Bruyne, MCI v. CRY ($8,300): It's becoming fairly clear that De Bruyne is matchup proof. Despite not scoring or assisting on any goals over the past three, the Belgian wunderkind has still averaged nearly 20 fantasy points per game over that period. He sends in a ton of crosses, including 20 in just 74 minutes at midweek. He's the top player on the slate in terms of projected score, and it's not even close.
Other midfielders to consider: Stephane Sessegnon, WBA at SOU ($3,900); James McClean, WBA at SOU ($4,000); Jack Colback, NEW v. WHU ($3,400); Jordan Veretout, AVL v. LEI ($4,900); Steven Davis, SOU v. WBA ($3,400); David Silva, MCI v. CRY ($5,500); Dusan Tadic, SOU v. WBA ($7,000); Willian, CHE v. EVE ($7,800); Jonjo Shelvey, NEW v. WHU ($4,500); Moussa Sissoko, NEW v. WHU ($4,200); Jesus Navas, MCI v. CRY ($4,200)
Forwards:
Ayoze Perez, NEW v. WHU ($5,200):
I said it before and I'll say it again: this is the game to stack. Perez takes roughly half of Newcastle's corners (Jack Colback takes the other half) and sends a few open-play crosses as well. His goal scoring form (well, Newcastle's goal scoring form in general, to be fair) has been lacking, but his four goals on the year show he is perfectly capable in that department on any given day.
Sergio Aguero, MCI v. CRY ($8,500): The price is too high considering what he's done dating back to November, and a mediocre floor indicates one should looking elsewhere for cash games. With that said, I'm still tempted to go back to the well. He's the best goal scorer in the Premier League, and I'll probably end up standing by that statement until I'm 10-feet deep from chasing him time-after-time.
Other forwards to consider: Juan Iturbe, BOU v. NOR ($4,000); Enner Valencia, WHU at NEW ($4,400); Jordan Ayew, AVL v. LEI ($4,200); Benik Afobe, BOU v. NOR ($3,700); Diego Costa, CHE v. EVE ($6,500); Shane Long, SOU v. WBA ($4,500); Romelu Lukaku, EVE at CHE ($8,100)
