4 FanDuel Premier League Studs to Target for Matchweek 11

Gylfi Sigurdsson has been a key cog this season for Everton, and the Toffees are the biggest favorites on a pretty balanced slate. Which other high-priced players should you build around?

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 towards FanDuel's main slate, which begins at 11:00 a.m. EST Saturday and features six matches.

Matchweek 11
Saturday, November 3rd
Leicester at Cardiff
Brighton at Everton
Watford at Newcastle
Burnley at West Ham
Liverpool at Arsenal
Tottenham at Wolves


This is the most well-balanced slate -- in terms of even matchups -- that we've had all season. Only one fixture has more than a 0.5-goal spread. At home versus Brighton, Everton are a 1.0-goal home favorite with implied win odds of 62.3%, per FanDuel's sportsbook, making the Toffees the slate's biggest favorite. Elsewhere, Liverpool, Manchester United, Leicester and West Ham are 0.5-goal favorites, with West Home the only home side of that bunch. The Watford-Newcastle clash is a pick 'em.

The nature of this slate creates many different paths for lineup construction and should spread ownership pretty evenly across the board.
