4 Premier League Studs to Target for Matchweek 4

Manchester City are overwhelming home favorites against Newcastle United, putting Sergio Aguero in a money spot. Which other high-priced players should you check out?

As is the case when playing any sport on FanDuel, it’s imperative to hit on high-priced studs, the players in which you’ve made the biggest investment. This is especially true with forwards in soccer. Not only are the top-end forwards expensive, they are the ones most likely to put the ball in the back of the net, and goals are often the difference between winning and losing in DFS.

Let’s take a look at some high-priced players -- all across the pitch -- who, despite costing a good chunk of change, are worth the investment.

This article is geared toward FanDuel's main slate, which begins at 10:00 a.m. EST Saturday and features six matches.

Matchweek 4
Saturday, September 1st
Southampton at Crystal Palace
Huddersfield at Everton
Bournemouth at Chelsea
Fulham at Brighton
Wolves at West Ham
Newcastle at Manchester City


We've got two big home favorites -- Chelsea and Manchester City -- on this week's main slate, and both sides should see plenty of ownership. City are a whopping 2.5-goal favorite versus Newcastle while Chelsea are a 1.5-goal favorite against Bournemouth. City's 3.0-goal implied total leads the way, with Chelsea's 2.5-goal implied total ranking second. Also, we shouldn't sleep on Everton, who are favored by 1.0 with their implied total at 1.75 goals.
