Value Pick - Jack Butland – Stoke City - Salary - $3,500

While the matchup against Leicester may seem daunting at first glance, the goals for the Foxes have dried up recently - scoring just one in their last four league games. A scoreless draw will be ideal for both the Potters and Butland-owners alike.
