Goalkeepers:

Petr Cech, ARS v. SWA ($4,200): After conceding an uncharacteristic three goals to an injury-riddled Manchester United on Sunday, expect Arsenal to get things back on track with a firm and convincing performance to topple the lesser Swansea within the friendly confines of the Emirates.

Other goalkeepers: David de Gea, MUN v. WAT ($4,200)

Defenders:

Kieran Trippier, TOT at WHU ($3,800): With Kyle Walker and Danny Rose getting starts last weekend, and likely the one this weekend in their huge match against Arsenal, this seems like the perfect time to insert Trippier, as well as Ben Davies ($2,900) into the starting XI.

Other defenders: Guillermo Varela, MUN v. WAT ($2,800); Marcos Rojo, MUN v. WAT ($2,900); Daryl Janmaat, NEW at STK ($4,200); Phil Bardsley, STK v. NEW ($2,100)

Midfielders:

Mesut Ozil, ARS v. SWA ($8,300): In the last four weeks, Ozil leads the Premier League with 24 chances created, with Christian Eriksen next with just 15. Those 24 chances ended with two goals scored and two assists. Also in that span, Ozil is tied with Dimitri Payet for the most crosses (40, 21 from corners) in the Premier League. Ozil leads the Premier League in assists with 18, nine more than Riyad Mahrez. Meanwhile, Swansea are coming off two consecutive losses and allowed three goals to Arsenal earlier this season.

Xherdan Shaqiri, STK v. NEW ($5,700):Marko Arnautovic may have stolen the show with his brace, but it's safe to say that Shaqiri was a rousing success in his own right with an assist and 18 crosses (11 from corners) last weekend against Aston Villa. The matchup was very favorable that led to that performance, but somehow the matchup gets even better here against Newcastle, who are allowing 2.4 goals per away match this season.

Other midfielders: Philippe Coutinho, LIV v. MCI ($5,800); David Silva, MCI at LIV ($6,000); Christian Eriksen, TOT at WHU ($7,900); Juan Mata, MUN v. WAT ($5,300); James Milner, LIV v. MCI ($5,900); Victor Moses, WHU v. TOT ($3,700)

Forwards:

Marko Arnautovic, STK v. NEW ($5,000): Last time out against Aston Villa, Arnautovic scored two goals on five shots and added five crosses. He will continue to be moderately priced, while providing a decent floor many forwards don't.

Marcus Rashford, MUN v. WAT ($4,000): The 18-year-old Rashford has now started two matches for the Reds in his career and has gone on to score two goals in each of those appearances. The hero of the Europa Leaugue win at midweek, the wunderkind came back and entered the history books with a two-goal, one-assist masterpiece of a game as United took down bitter rival Arsenal. It's hard to know what the future for Rashford will be, but boy has he gotten his career off to a dazzling start.

Other forwards: Memphis Depay, MUN v. WAT ($5,500); Alexis Sanchez, ARS v. SWA ($8,200); Sergio Aguero, ($8,700); Danny Welbeck, ARS v. SWA ($5,000); Olivier Giroud, ARS v. SWA ($7,500); Roberto Firmino, LIV v. MCI ($6,300); Daniel Sturridge, LIV v. MCI ($4,500); Emmanuel Emenike, WHU v. TOT ($3,900)
