Hugo Lloris, Goalie, Tottenham

Salary: $5,500

Lloris is tied with two other keepers as the second-highest priced player at his position, and he has averaged 17.23 FanDuel points through 11 matches. After playing two top-five opponents in a row and averaging 1.75 FanDuel points in those outings, Lloris picked up 16.5 FanDuel points in his last match against Southampton. But he has another top-10 matchup on deck against the Foxes.

Per oddsmakers, Tottenham have a 51.2% chance to win Saturday’s match, and the Foxes have a 73% chance of scoring at least one goal, a feat they have accomplished in all but one match this season at King Power Stadium.

If the Foxes -- who have scored the eighth-most goals this season -- are able to find the back of the net against Spurs, a club that has allowed at least one goal in four of five road matches against clubs currently in the top-12, Lloris’ upside would likely be limited as Leicester have forced just the ninth-most saves (48) to opposing keepers this season.

With FanDuel's scoring system, DFS players need to attack keepers who will hopefully produce a clean-sheet win or find a keeper who should see a large amount of save opportunities. United’s David de Gea ($6,500) offers nice victory odds with the ability to get a clean sheet versus Fulham while Arsenal’s Bernd Leno ($4,500) isn't in a bad spot home to Huddersfield and offers some salary relief from the top-priced keepers on the slate.
