There Is No One Way to Play The Game

Last season, Burnley only scored 36 goals with a -3 goal differential, but ultimately finished seventh. The only teams that scored less than Burnley were relegated. Their transfer business again emphasized defense, so that is likely where points will come from on the Burnley side.

Burnley are not on the main slate, but expect Cardiff City to play the same way. Last season, they relied on defense and had one of the lowest pass completion totals in the league. They will try to absorb pressure, meaning the defenders -- like Sean Morrison ($6,000) and Sol Bamba ($5,500) -- should be the ones tallying FanDuel points.

Given Chelsea's current turmoil, it may be easy to dismiss them. However, they still rely on attacking talent and come off a season in which they scored 62 goals. Callum Hudson-Odoi ($6,000), Alvaro Morata ($12,000), Marcos Alonso ($7,500), and Pedro ($10,000) will be on the field for their offensive abilities, so expect Chelsea to attack all match against Huddersfield.
