4 FanDuel Premier League Players to Avoid in Matchweek 14

Jamie Vardy has scored just one goal of his last six matches and now faces a tough Hornets' squad. What other players should we avoid for Matchweek 14?

FanDuel’s main slate for Matchweek 14, which begins at 10:00 a.m. EST on Saturday, features six matches, with 5 of the top-10 clubs in action. The late match sees Southampton, the only club on the slate currently in the drop zone host Manchester united, and the Red Devils are a -120 favorite on FanDuel’s Sportsbook, which puts their implied win probability at 54.5%.

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.

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 some players playing midweek matches, DFS players, as always, should check out injury reports and confirmed starting XI's when they become available since some players may be rested.

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