4 FanDuel Premier League Studs to Target for Matchweek 31

Hosting a sputtering Huddersfield side, West Ham's center-back duo of Issa Diop and Angelo Ogbonna have good clean-sheet odds this week. Who else should you target on a short three-match slate?

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 cover FanDuel's main slate that begins Saturday at 11:00 a.m. EST and features three matches.

Matchweek 31
Saturday, March 16th
Newcastle at Bournemouth
Huddersfield at West Ham
Leicester City at Burnley


This week's main slate is a wonky one, featuring just three matches and no big-six clubs. West Ham are the slate's biggest favorite, sporting implied win odds of 64.9%, per FanDuel Sportsbook, and coming in as a 1.0-goal favorite. Bournemouth sit second with 47.6% implied win odds, and the Cherries are a 0.5-goal favorite. The Leicester-Burnley match is a pick'em with Leicester a slight favorite.
