4 FanDuel Premier League Studs to Target for Matchweek 26

Mohamed Salah is in a ceiling spot as Liverpool are a massive home favorite versus Bournemouth. Which other high-cost 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 will discuss FanDuel's main slate, which begins Saturday at 10:00 a.m. EST and features six matches.

Matchweek 26
Saturday, February 9th
Bournemouth at Liverpool
West Ham at Crystal Palace
Arsenal at Huddersfield
Cardiff City at Southampton
Everton at Watford
Burnley at Brighton


Only two top-six sides are a part of this slate -- Liverpool and Arsenal -- and those two are our big favorites, as you might expect. Liverpool boast commanding 84.6% implied win odds, per the FanDuel Sportsbook, for their home date with Bournemouth, and the Reds are 2.0-goal favorites. Arsenal, meanwhile, carry implied win odds of 63% on the road at Huddersfield, checking in as a 1.0-goal favorite. No other side is more than a 0.5-goal favorite.
