Midfielder - Jefferson Lerma, Bournemouth ($7,000)

Lerma's output has been very steady over the last three matches. His highest point total in that time frame is just over 17 points, but he has contributed on both sides of the ball. He had 4 tackles, 6 interceptions, 6 fouls drawn, 11 clearances, 5 chances created, and a block over the last three weeks of game play.

Lerma averages a shot and a foul drawn per match. He does play with more of a defensive game plan as he averages nearly three clearances per match. In total, he averages nearly seven defensive actions per match. In the first league match against Southampton this year, Lerma had three clearances and one tackle while winning five aerial duels. He was third on the team in touches while completing nearly 80% of his passes.

The match with Southampton plays into Lerma's skill set as the teams average nearly the same possession on the season. It should be a back and forth match with Lerma getting involved on both sides of the ball. Lerma may finally be rounding into form after being a record signing and has another match up that will allow him to show his skills.
