Goalkeepers

Martin Dubravka (Arsenal @ Newcastle, $12) – I mentioned previously that Newcastle was a tight defensive team last season.  They only conceded an average of 1.1 goals per game.

If things go right, I think Newcastle could keep a clean sheet here which would mean a big game from Dubravka.  If you’re playing one of the Arsenal forwards, Dubravka probably isn’t the best idea for you, but I think he’s a viable GK option.

Kasper Schmeichel (Wolverhampton @ Leicester, $12) – My other favorite GK on this slate also happens to be cheap.  I think Schmeichel is too cheap for this matchup.  Leicester did a good job at limited opposing goals at home last year, only allowing just over 1 per game.

Additionally, the Wolves only scored 19 times on the road last year.  This seems like a boom-or-bust game for Schmeichel, and I’m thinking more boom.
