4 FanDuel Premier League Players to Avoid in Matchweek 36

Gerard Deulofeu scored two goals in last weekend's match against Huddersfield but now faces a tough Wolves squad at Vicarage Road, a place where he has struggled this season. Which other players should we avoid for Matchweek 36?

This article is geared towards FanDuel's main slate, which begins at 10:00 a.m. EST Saturday and features five matches. The slate features only three clubs inside the top-10, but zero clubs inside the top-six. The final match on the slate sees Brighton host Newcastle, and the Seagulls are a +120 favorite on FanDuel's Sportsbook, putting their implied win probability at 45.5%.

We should try to take advantage of the teams -- and players -- who play especially well either home or away, while also looking at oddsmakers' favorites and over/under totals. With the campaign get close to the end, DFS players, as always, should check out injury reports and confirmed starting XI's when they become available since some players may be rested.

As with any DFS sport, it is imperative to have your players, especially the high-priced studs, live up to their price tag. When investing in any player, it is important to determine who will likely contribute in FanDuel's emphasized areas (goals, assists, and shots on target). It's also just as crucial not to overspend on players in bad matchups.

Let's take a look at four players across the pitch who should be avoided.
