4 FanDuel Premier League Studs to Target for Matchweek 14
David De Gea, Goalie, Manchester United
FanDuel Price: $6,000
Ederson ($6,500) is the clear best play if you're chasing a clean-sheet win. Bournemouth have a mere 0.75-goal implied total -- the lowest on the slate -- and City have a whopping 90.9% win odds. Yikes.
Admittedly, however, there's a scary floor here if the Cherries score, because Ederson offers very little save volume. So if he doesn't get the clean-sheet bonus, he may get FanDuel points from only the win, which is basically what happened in a home match with Newcastle earlier this year when the Brazilian scored just 7.5 FanDuel points.
While De Gea has much worse win odds (54.5%), he's appealing for a few reasons. The obvious one is that he's really darn good. But other than that, his clean-sheet odds aren't too bad (1.0-goal implied total for Southampton), and he'll likely be called into action more than Ederson is, giving De Gea nice upside if he can find a way to keep a clean sheet while making a handful of saves.
