Goalie – Lukasz Fabianski, West Ham

Salary: $5,000

Tied with five other keepers as the third-highest priced keeper on the slate, Fabianski is coming off a nine-save performance against the Gunners in Matchweek 3, and he has averaged 8.5 FanDuel points on the season. Fabianski has conceded two or more goals in every match this season and has scored under five FanDuel points in two of his first three matches.

Saturday’s match at London Stadium is basically a pick’em with the Hammers owning a slight edge in win probability -- 40.0% compared to 35.7%, and the match has a 54.5% chance of going over 2.5 goals. The Wolves have scored in two of their three matches to start the season but have not placed heavy pressure on opposing keepers as they have forced the fourth-fewest saves (1.67) per 90 minutes.

With FanDuel's new scoring, the two keepers priced $500 above Fabianski may be worth the risk while Everton’s Jordan Pickford ($5,000) is also facing a club that is unlikely to score a lot of goals. If DFS players are looking for save upside, Fabianski is likely not the best candidate at his price point as others may face more save opportunities.
