4 FanDuel Premier League Players to Avoid in Matchweek 3

Defender -- Andrew Robertson, Liverpool

Salary: $7,000

Tied with two other players as the top-priced defender on the slate, Robertson has averaged 21.2 FanDuel points and has scored over 20 FanDuel points in both matches. Always a threat in the attack, especially against lesser opponents, Robertson has recorded five chances created and recorded one assist through two matches.

With an implied team total of 2.75 goals, Robertson may have the opportunity to record offensive statistics against the Seagulls, but as the top-priced defender, his opportunities to pick up defensive actions may be limited.

With an implied team total of just 0.75 goals, the Seagulls probably won't have a lot of opportunity on the ball -- they are averaging the third-worst possession percentage -- which should severely limit Robertson’s floor. Despite their win against the Red Devils, the Seagulls have struggled to put pressure on their opponents, allowing the sixth-fewest tackles (1.38), fifth-fewest interceptions (1.0), second-fewest clearances (2.5) and fewest blocked shots (0.13) per 90 minutes to defenders.

The five-point clean-sheet bonus is nice, but rostering any player for just their clean-sheet odds is big a risk -- as we found out in Matchweek 2 (for those who rostered Hugo Lloris). Robertson's upside is nice for GPPs, but his floor is scary for cash.
